My time in Portland is coming to an end and I`m sad and happy about it AT THE SAME TIME!
I met great people, learned a lot about making comics and I think I ate more skittles (red and green) then a human should ever digest (And then I found out that they are 99% made out of corn syrup, WHO KNEW?)
I will scan some sketches that the nice people of Periscope did for me in the coming weeks and I`m thankful for their ability to endure my constant babbling.
That said, I`m looking forward to getting lost in a new city and to finally start working full time on my diploma for a while.
Getting back into training and finding a nice apartment are also two things I`m very much looking forward to.
SO
Next stop on the Adventure train will be Montreal, I hear its cold there so I might even buy a hat finally.
BONUS
Some thoughts on movies/tv I saw in the last weeks:
Sherlock Holmes, not really good and extra weird thanks to Sherlock using BJJ
Whiteout, even worse (but based on a good comic)
The Dark Crystal, should have seen this as a kid but the designs hold up (and are still scary)
Heart of Darkness, interesting documentary about the torture of filming Apocalypse now
Lucky Louie, Louis CK is funnier when doing stand-up
Whatever Works, boring and bad. Woody Allen and Larry David seemed a great fit but its a weird fetish movie without any merit
Overnight, alright documentary about the ego maniac that made the Boondock Saints
Pontypool, nice take on the Zombie genre. More weird then horror
A Serious Man, great great movie by the Coen Brothers
Internet things worth mentioning:
The uncut interview between Jon Stewart and O’Reilly – HERE
A documentary about making the Blade Runner film – HERE

Hello!
The following depicts the same scene shown some posts below, with the difference being that I`m more happy with it and that it contains some characters actually doing something.
They look a bit less “rough” but adding these kinds of gimmicks makes it easier to deform them when it fits a gag and I think it works alright.
I also watched some documentaries:
- One made me dislike economy (The Corporation)
- One made me dislike food production (The future of Food)
- And this one made me dislike “LA People” (Confessions of a Superhero)
I hope everyone is having a good week so far, I will now read Plastic Man by the great Kyle Baker and Blood Meridian by McCarthy while drinking tea.
Indeed!

Hi!
A second busy week is over and it included:
- doing comic pages twice (see below)
- spending my first thanksgiving with the amazing Jeff Parker, his family and friends
- drinking weird cocktails and getting a headache from arcade games
- seeing THE ROAD and finding it only mediocre due to not enough risks and famous people
Here are the two versions of the comic i´m currently working on as a “test” for a bigger thing. Watercolors and then only digital
I like doing the watercolors more BUT the digital stuff flows way faster and is way way easier to handle.
Painting is new and actually thinking about color palette and “leading-the-eye” boggles my mind. Thats why the watercolors are a big blob of something instead of being highly readable.
I will post the whole 5 pages of the prologue next sunday!
Have a good week!

Something from today:
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!
