Surrealist Argentinean comic from 1991 drawn by Enrique Alcatena (Wikipedia: “the most successful Argentine artist to work for such major American comic publishers” in the 1990’s).  (Bigger). Googling  turned up a blog filled with some interesting pages— e.g. whatever’s going on here.  (Also, turned up these Gary Kwapisz Conan drawings, which aren’t as interesting but amused at the end of a long day, at least).

Sketchdump from a Russian artist/student “Phobs”. Example of one of his comics here. (c/o Kate Beaton) Very slick work— see also and also. Also: preview of the new Vincent Giard. Also, I like the cover to this Sophie Bedard comic, and this Penelope Bagieu comic looks interesting but i can’t read it— I like the layout though.  Oh, and this Kate Beaton one, speaking of her work. (OH ALSO: this Boulet, if you hadn’t seen it yet).

OH AND ALSO ALSO: Oh and sorry if this is self-promote-y, but I really, really enjoyed the Nathan Bulmer comic underneath me babbling, in this week’s Comics of the Weak.

Sara and I are huge fans of Girl Talk’s ALL DAY. When we found out about the GIRL WALK/ALL DAY video project, we fell in love and watched it over and over.

The director Jacob Krupnick has been traveling across the country putting on live screenings of GIRL WALK with dance parties. Tonight they came to Portland, and I had to attend. (Sara was eager to go too, but a nasty cold kept her at home.)   I’m pretty sure I was the oldest person in the room- certainly the oldest person dancing. And if this picture is to be believed, I was also the tallest. Of course I pulled out my sketchbook. It’s never easy nailing the gestures of dancers- they aren’t exactly holding still- but if you stare hard enough, you can spot some patterns (at the risk of creeping them out while you’re at it.) The picture above assembles some of the night’s more intelligible doodles. I had a great time. Big, big thanks to everyone involved.

John G and Jake Kelly put together a horror anthology that’s on sale online but primarily in the Cleveland area.  It’s got a website— they have advertising for local businesses, but with ads they designed themselves, which I think gives everything a pretty neat look; plus, Jake Kelly’s cool imaginary movie posters (I’m partial to Border Patrol), and a new recurring one-panel segment called  ”Cleveland Clippings.”  Fun stuff…
