I am so very sorry I have been remiss in updating all of you my recent activity. I forgot to mention that I have some guest strips (click each word, they’re different links) at Odori Park, Chris Watkins’ phenominal strip. If you like cross-cultural family comedy, You’ll love his strip. I love the characters, the art, It’s lovely. Check it out!
So, As you know, over the weekend I made some sketch cards for the Treasure Chest, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving toys to kids undergoing cancer treatment. I just heard back from Paul Maiellero, and he sent me this order form to order the card set. As you can see, the price is very steep, but it is for charity, and this set, as it states in the order form, is one of a kind. So anyways, there you have it. More info on the Carlucci auction when it comes available.
Last night, W.T. and I went to a midnight showing of “Wolfman” up at the mall.
Now, I must first preface this, and be a bit honest: I cannot recall ever seeing the original Wolfman. Ever. Which is odd, since I can remember seeing all the other Universal Monster Movies. I have no idea why or how I have missed it, but rest assured, that will be remedied as soon as possible.
Because I loved the new one.
Everything about this movie was very well done-the casting, costumes, story-all of it. The mood of the film is great. The design of the werewolf (which I will not divulge) is classic, but updated. It fires on all cylinders, and delivers scares very well. That would be the one thing I didn’t like about the movie. Now, I don’t mind the “scare chord” in horror films, but when the scare chord is designed to blast you out of the seat with a modern sound system, and you are more riled by the sound blast than the actual scare, then you have a problem. This, however, is more a theater problem than a problem with the movie. Still, it’s rather vexing.
I do recommend it, as a fun escapist horror picture. As I understand, since I haven’t seen the original, it captures the flavor of the original Lon Chaney picture, as well as updating it very well.
Hey all,
A few weeks ago, at Adriana Vargas’ site, I came across a blogpost about an initiative started by Lora Innes to combat human trafficking, which seems to be on the rise. As such, I was compelled to contribute to the cause, which was in this case, a piece of art.
The People:
We’re a group of Web Comic Creators, who have come together, volunteering our artistic talents to raise money for the purpose of ending human trafficking in the world today.
The Problem:
There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year.
The Project:
Web Comic Creators from all over the world are working together on a single drawing which will be available as a downloadable wallpaper for readers who donate to our fund raising drive!
So, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking up this wall paper. All your help will be appreciated.
UPDATE: Thanks to all your generous support the Comic Creators Alliance raised just over ten thousand dollars! That is truly gracious of you, and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart.
