Guess who graduated?

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Indeed!

Happy jumping times begin NOW and everyone looks just as exited as I am!

I will do some reprints of the diploma later this year and I will sell them probably at tcaf.
(And Ms. tiff, you will get a super special version FOR SURE!)

I also saw:
- Toy Story 3 (OK, Totoro!, too long)
- Get him to the Greek (Alright, too long)
- Predators (boring)
- The Wolfman (nice casting, fun small scenes in between, fun)
- Season 1 and 2 of THE WIRE (great!)
- Clash of the Titans (yawn)
- Up in the Air (fun to watch in a plane)
- The first episodes of “Louie” (ho-hum)
- New episodes of Entourage and Futurama (Entourage = same old, Futurama = surprisingly fun)

Oh, and I did this comic for the fun guys of SENFGURKE, their theme was Struwwelpeter and I took THIS GUY that was the main reason for nightmares as a kid (sorry, only German):

Now too my parents house to get some sleep and THEN BACK TO MONTREAL, yay!

And here, some doodles I made while sitting at Cafe Neve (weird to me: 90% of the people there were working on their laptop and the cafe was FULL!)

Hope everyone is going to enjoy this new week,

BABAM!

An evil shadow

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Hello hello!

One of the stories I`m currently working on has a very bad person in it that has to be vile, demonic AND entertaining at the same time.

A evil dandy that has a speech impediment and only the worst intentions.

This was a very early story sketch that has the evil person trying to trick the Forrest clam:

I started thinking about the guy and thought of two big inspirations behind what I want to convey:

Here is a small percentage of the doodles that were made afterwards:

eevil

I tried doing the design in watercolors and I still think its working.

He feels a bit to “urban” but I still like the design overall!

eesssdddd

Also please note this great drawing studio mate Ben Bates did for me:

KING OF COMEDY!

Off to new territories

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

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!

Lines and some backstory

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Some weird lines I just drew:

And here is some back-story on the main character writing this blog thanks to my mother finding some

old pictures.

As it seems, I always had a great fashion sense:

hahaphoto_1

As well as a smile ALTHOUGH my mother bought me Prince Adam (look at that pink sword!) instead of He-Man!

(Also on this picture, my sister carrying a doll with creepy hair)

hahaphoto_2

And here, chubby-me. 14 Years old, overweight and into Nirvana.

Emos of today, you have nothing on me as I´m able to look miserable while wearing a WHITE shirt!

hahaphoto_3

And because cartoonist ALWAYS need to feel sorry for themselves:

So there you go, some lines, some back-story and your typical “feeling miserable cartoonist” cliché!
Have a great day, I´m off to bed continuing with my Harry Potter Movie-Marathon!
