PERSISTENCE of MEMORY

a.k.a. MEMORY of PERSISTENCE
a.k.a. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Putz
a.k.a. I will probably delete this soon but I thought someone might find it amusing and/or informative.

IRREPRESSIBLE!

Recently, after literally years of imagining what they might be like, I was finally able to get my hands on a few volumes of Osamu Tezuka's original Monkey King manga (ぼくの孫悟空)...
...and oh, what treasures they contain! ( more... )

NEW YORKER
2/2/09 | 04:15 pm
See that secret hand sign up there? Translated, it means that TWO of my entries in The New Yorker's 2009 Eustace Tilley contest are now being featured in the winners' slideshow over on NewYorker.com! Out of the 300 or so pieces people submitted to the contest, I was doubly thrilled to find my two occupying a cozy spot between entries by both my former art sensei/Electronic Arts Storyboarding & Concept Guru/all-around swell guy Gary Amaro AND The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Cartoonist/Hobo King of Internetlandia/all-around swell guy himself Adam "ApeLad" Koford.
I really have to hand it to Adam for helping to generate some nice viral buzz for my Watchmen-themed entry over at Drawn! early on (especially since he still had an entry of his own on the way)! Be sure to grab a copy or three of his new LOLCats comic strip collection like, NOW. (I'm certainly warming up my ROFLcopter and soup for whenever mine arrives.) :D
to a heppy land! fur, fur awayyy!!!

GOOD EVENING GOODNESS
12/11/08 | 03:33 pm
For this I am and shall remain: incredulous, grateful & glowing (also, oddly enough: solitary, pale & ever-fearful of the sun). Thank you, Sir Hodg-man.
CARRY ON.

STEAMONKEY
11/26/08 | 11:11 am
The good folks over at Modofly have included my antiquated little "Steamonkey" in their latest series of designer Moleskines. I am delighted. Looking over the work of my fellow designers, I must say I am humbled as well. Be sure to check out the Modofly site for a slew of beautimous books (sure to satisfy all your gift-giving needs, ho ho!).

BEOWULF by Lynd Ward
11/1/08 | 03:33 am
Not too long ago some prints from Lynd Ward's Frankenstein were making their way around the blogosphere, much to my delight. In the course of researching different styles for my Kafka adaptation at the Academy, I stumbled upon Ward's art (along with that of his fellow "wordless" storytellers) and slowly but surely started building up my own little collection. The scans below the cut are from an (out-of-print?) edition of his Beowulf I found at a public library book sale.

You look nervous. Is it the scars? You want to know how I got 'em?
Throughout my life I have seen, without one exception, narrow-shouldered men performing innumerable idiotic acts, brutalising their fellows, and corrupting souls by every means. They call the motive for their actions: fame. Seeing these exhibitions I've longed to laugh, with the rest, but that strange imitation was impossible. Taking a penknife with a sharp-edged blade, I slit the flesh at the points joining the lips. For an instant I believed my aim was achieved. I saw in the mirror the mouth ruined at my own will! An error! Besides, the blood gushing freely from the two wounds prevented my distinguishing whether this really was the grin of others. But after some moments of comparison I saw quite clearly that my smile did not resemble that of humans: the fact is, I was not laughing. (HA HA HA HAAAA!)
