New drawings up at DeviantArt
Last year I took some photos of my son’s Justice League 4.5″ action figures to test out the close-up feature on my digital camera. Then later I did some drawings based on the photos to test out my Wacom tablet. The results of this screwing around may be found here.
Teh Metapost
I HEREBY DECLARE:
From this day forward, the practice of deliberately typing “teh” instead of “the” for the purposes of some kind of ironic or faux-innocent joke (“teh hot, teh sexy, teh cool,” etc, etc, etc) is no longer funny. It’s no longer funny partly because it wasn’t funny to begin with, but now it is both not funny and a sad, tired cliche.
Got it? Stop it. Just stop it. That day is done.
Karl Rove one-liner
When Karl Rove dies, people will say he’s spinning in his grave and will mean it as a compliment.
Happy Death Day
No doubt you have been alerted through your local media outlet that this is the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death. I could write a lot about this event, but unfortunately this is not the week for me to do that. However, if you wish to celebrate this sacred holiday by watching an Elvis movie, I recommend this as a helpful aid to your selection.

r_sikoryak is in town visiting and had two notes for my drawing from yesterday — one, I had made the file too small, which was going to complicate printing later, and two, I had made some errors in coloring that it turns out I didn’t have to make. So I thought, well, I had so much fun drawing it the first time, it won’t kill me to draw it again and do it properly. So there you are — a little peek inside the graphic-novel development process.

Above, the opening panel of a new graphic novel I’ve started working on. Details to come.
a screenwriter’s notebook part 2
I’ve been in darkest New York for the past two weeks, toiling on an unfamiliar computer with unreliable and recalcitrant internet service, hence my lack of posting. Now that I am back in Santa Monica, I have meetings scheduled for four different projects and visitors coming to stay, so I will likely continue to have sporadic posting at best.
However, here are some more pages from my trusty beaten-up notebook.
New York one-liner
They call it “the city that never sleeps” — which at least explains why it’s in such a crappy mood all the time.
Thank you! I’m here all week!
Seriously. Then I go home to Santa Monica.
