Hello,

It's been one of those weeks where drawing feels like more work than I remember it.
I'm pushing through. I've been going over to Stokoe and Marleys place and
watching a lot of Buffy to deal. The sweaters they wear on that show are killing me.

Here's a drawing I did for the back cover of King city 10--
It's some of castmasters of yesteryear.

Sometimes I grow soo fond of characters after one drawing.
I could have some fun doing whole books about the 1920's french catmaster lady and her Meow Haraja. I put the dates that they livd -I didn't even have the heart to kill her off.


Here's a couple of the extras I did for #10 cat and vehicles.


and Marian did a Catmaster for the back of 10 I love how she draws this gentelman cat.


I think King city 5 might be out this week.

And I just saw this ---fucking comic book event!----
--My pals Corey and Sheldon were arguing about football
and it prompted this from corey--

I I'm all about this comic book event.

I remembered this week that I based Joe's early shirt in KC off
of what the dude inthe movie The Beach wears.

When I was first drawing KC i was really into the way that movie starts.
a guy getting a secret map. I would like it if that was the only
way they were allowed to start movies. I would never get sick of it.

Another KC thing I throw in a lot is Nagisa's hair clip from Iczer one.


And I ran into this bunch of manga dude photos. I like seeing how the faces
relate to the work. I would like a whole book of pictures like this:

Anyone know who the guy on the lowest of lefts is --i like that drawing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was reading Erik larsen's CBR artice (c b article) about
how american publishers could start to put out big 2000 AD/jump style books.
I think it's a great idea. I would like to see it tried.

I was thinking was one way for America to have a shonen jump style anthology
would be for it to be all online Like onemanga.com and then collect each story in print after they rach 100 pages or so. -like a collborative version of what derek kirk kim does.
or what the Planet land dudes are already doing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been reading Children of the Sea:
I really like how this character looks with her jacket that's all patches and no shirt.


And Daisuke Igarashi--

He's so good at enviroments and weather.
I was typing today that some of the most exciting manga is boring done
well. I guess it's because subtlety is hard to pull off.

I like how he cuts out the backgrounds here for a panel.
just to cut out everything but the 2 characters.

It reminds me of something Dave Sim said about if you're not doing a story with
just 2 peopel talking yu're missing the essance of what's human.


another thing I liked in this was seeing a real setting that I
recognized from another manga. Atsushi Kamijo's Sex-- I just read the sequal is called "After sex".
Nice. I would have called it "afterglow" or "nap"


A comic with Kamijo's character T-oy in some Graffitti page.
I think that's toy, unless he's just calling her that.

mad skills yo.


and here's a young fujihiko hosono, dude is not afraid to put shoes on a chicken.
I can respect that.

And a crusher joe comic he did-- I like that sun comics logo.
It speaks of good comics and orange soda.


a cartoon of his with a quality ninja pig.


And this !!!!


and here's some Jean-Pierre Gibrat--Pretty french ladies. bon jour ladies.


The only thing I've read of his in english was his sexy lady Pinocio
comic called Pinoccia. I think he tits get bigger when she lies.
If he didnt draw so good that might seem less than classy.

Look at the smug look on his face--he knows what he did.
Lie tits indeed!


and some of his layouts:


and a couple pannels from a French skateboarding comic.
Fink and Cran? I hope that's short for Crayon and not Cranberry.
Not that I dont like cranberrys.


And Gall force, I added a Kenichi Sonada. sexy no?



And some Toriyama Dr Slump. I like the invisable kid


And Toriyama Dragon Quest. WIZARD WARRIOR THEIF CLOWN!



And I finnaly looked up what the origonal Mario brothers 2 game looked like before
took it and made it into a mario game, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yume_K%C5%8Dj%C5%8D:_Doki_Doki_Panic

I have always wondered about that.




And here's some old manga covers I thought were cool.
Homo Homo 7 might be the best comic tittle ever.

awesome.


I dug up some Evalgelion porn comic by Isutoshi, the guy that did Slut girl (worst comic title ever).
I find his porn kind of vanilla
But I like his storytelling. this one ends with pregnancy--


Here's some old 70's art. An ad for pants on the left.

great on trips. jesus....

And SMUURRRFFSSSS! it's like a where's waldo statue.

I wonder if anyone has drawn all 100 smurfs?

And I thought this was cool.


And some comic themed signs.
City hunter bathroom and asterix wheel chair. for wheel.

Tin tin mural.


aight.
and now I wash dishes and then draw comix.
