Animation!!! (and liveaction)

Just figured I'd post a few links to some of the stuff I talked about on the show.
Ajattelin laittaa muutamia youtube linkkejä juttuihin mistä puhuin tämän viikon showssa.

Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes Series 1 Episode 1.

Half an pisode of the first episode of Green Lantern the Animated Series / Puolikas osa :)

An abridged first episode of the Young justice/ Lyhennetty Young Justicen ensimmäinen osa

And TNMT with Pizza / Turtlesit ja pizzaa

Alphas promo bit/ Alphojen hyvin lyhyt traileri.

And the Ultimate Spider-Man trailer which you shouldn't hold against the show in any way./ Ja lopuksi vielä Ultimate Hämiksen traileri jota ei saisi käyttää sarjaa vastaan. Se on oikeasti parantunut ihan älyttömästi.

PS. Almost forgot the Arrow trailer :) / Melkein unohdin Arrow-trailerin. :)

Inspirational Post

I know that for most of you this is an old quote, mainly because I've posted it so many times in different places but it just never get's old(except in the literal sense, but don't think about that). Today I was reminded of it as I was doing some sketches in the park and later during some twitter conversations and figured it's time to repost it once again.

"Drawing a good figure doesn’t make you a good artist. I can name you ten men, right off the bat, who draw better than I do. But I don’t think their work gets as much response as mine. I can’t think of a better man to draw Dick Tracy than Chester Gould, who certainly is no match for Leonardo Da Vinci. But Chester Gould told the story of Dick Tracy. He told the story of Dick Tracy the way it should have been told. No other guy could have done it. It’s not in the draftsmanship, it’s in the man.

Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It’s in the man.

If you want to do, you do it. If you think a man draws the type of hands that you want to draw, steal ‘em. Take those hands.

The only thing I can say is: Caniff was my teacher, Alex Raymond was my teacher, even the guy who drew Toonerville Trolley was my teacher. Whatever he had stimulated me in some way. And I think that’s all you need. You need that stimulation. Stimulation to make you an individual. And the draftsmanship, hang it. If you can decently: learn to control what you can, learn to control what you have, learn to refine what you have. Damn perfection. You don’t have to be perfect. You are never going to do a Sistine Chapel unless someone ties you to a ceiling. Damn perfection!

All a man has in this field is pressure. And I think the pressure supplies a stimulation. You have your own stresses, that will supply your own stimulation. If you want to do it, you’ll do it. And you’ll do it anyway you can."
-Jack "The King" Kirby

Remember that in WHATEVER you're doing this applies to pretty much everything in life.


 Much Love !

Life, it keeps happening... BUT SO DO COMICS !!!

There will be some Bat Spoilers so boohoo... 

Apologies for the silence had to take  a week of to get my four page story onto the EOC Anthology 2 and then I got this tonsillitis and pretty bad fevers. So the past week has been spent sleeping and watching random episodes of MST3K and other things, which I will talk a bit about once I get around to recording. So enough of that. What I want to talk to you all about is this

Batman #5 and #6. Batman has been one of the most consistently good books the relaunch has produced. Scott Snyder has been writing an intriguing mystery and we've been getting a good feeling of Batman being out of his depth in this story as the Court of Owls looms behind it all. And the art oh the art !!! Greg "Papi" Capullo is killing it he's bringing in all of the good things that made him such a big name in the 90's with Spawn, but it seems tempered with a good sense of proportions when it comes to using his more cartoony (In NO way derogatory) style to bring life to the pages and it just works B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L-L-Y. 

Issue #5 was a brilliant piece that was using the medium in ways that can only really work in comics ( I Love it when creators do that). The actual premise of this issue was simple: Last issue Batman was caught in a maze by the COO ( Court Of Owls) and he has now been wondering around, tired hungry and drugged out of his mind, for a week. The execution of his sense of delirium and disorientation is masterful. It's all done by clever layout decisions which make the reader almost as disorientated as Batman is.   and the story itself? It shows us the bat crumbling and it cuts deep.

Batman #6 gives us that moment you look for in 80's fighting movies (You know like Lionheart and Bloodsport), that moment when the hero is completely beaten, he is down, but then he gets his second wind and crushes all opposition and.... flees before he gets his ass kicked again? Well that's what you're getting here, but it's still an awesome finale and I know I'll be doubledipping the hell out of this book.

What can I say Batman is awesome at the moment and I hope the creative team won't be changing soon, because I think these guys can do great things with this. If you haven't been reading this title so far do yourself a favor and preorder the hardcover right now.
