Off to new territories

Hello!
My plane to the new world takes off tomorrow morning and I´m exited!
Apart from packing clothes and choosing tshirts , I´ve spend the last days thinking about comics, researching comics AND I may have found an direction that could be the right one.

While looking things up (Miyazakis Mangas were of interested), I found this documentary about Studio Ghibli making Princess Mononoke. Its pretty long and very different from anything I have seen about Ghibli this far.

The DVD´s never have any good bonus material and Miyazaki has never been a friend of cameras. That’s why this Documentary is different.
You get to see him smoking (a lot), working on storyboards /animation, fidling over what color basket A should have and you see him struggling to find the right scenes.
He is not the weird gray bearded ANIME GOD he is normaly portraited as, but more a hard working chain smoker that argues a lot.

Worthwhile if you have an hour or more to spare!

Doodles day

Doodled this while listening to Episode 95 of Smodcast.

Not much else is happening.

I´m watching EXTRAS and pretty much every movie that is rentable at the moment and I´m constantly looking at two empty bags sitting in my room that want to be packed in the next couple of days.

How do you pack for an “uncertain time period”?

I´m also not sure if I should shave before boarding the plane.. I have heard so many horror stories about US Customs that it might be easier to enter the US as a clean-shaven-more-trustworthy-looking nice European fellow.

Wearing a white shirt and kinda grayish slipover of course.

Oh, the new Dragon Ball game for the DS is great by the way!

Cheerio!

Something from today:

bum_3
bum_4
bum_5
bum_7
bum_8

AND:
If you haven’t seen THE BROTHERS BLOOM yet, please do!

Its a fun movie with great people and lots of actually good quick practical jokes. Its also quirky without being to close to the hipster playground.

Et plus:

THE LEAGUE. A new Series from Fox that is actually very Funny. A bit like a Judd Apatow movie without the overlong drama parts (but that may come later).

AAAAAANNNDDD re-watching SOLARIS (new version) made me certain that its one of the best movies about love there is.

closing with a bang,

Happy Halloween!

Sketchbook, October

Hello, hello!
Here are some scans from the Sketchbook, as well as some digital doodles mixed in:

I´m also able to say that
- MOON is a good movie
- Paranormal Activity is alright
- Surrogates is terrible
- King of Comedy is great
- Curb Your Enthusiasm is getting more wacky but contains good banter

Have a good week!
