Craving

Really felt I had to do a comic so I used IF's theme craving as an excuse. I tried a slightly different drawing technique, this probably doesn't look any different to anyone but me.

Portable digital devices

I Wanted to post about the idea of getting comics out in digital format. No need to convince me that print comics are better, I agree. I also see a huge opportunity to share comics in a digital format (Like here on this blog) I also really like things like podcasts that you can subscribe to.

The main problem in this area is that the technology changes to fast for any sort of culture to build up around it. You could spend all your time getting your comics ready to view on a kindle or iPhone then two months later the bring out new versions that make what you have done redundant; Or another company comes out with something even better.

Anyone have any interest or experience in this area?

Tango

The theme for this years Tango comics anthology has just been announced here, Love and War, Some juicy subject matter there! Last year was the first time I had submitted to Tango, although I had been meaning to for some time before that.
I had some trouble with my last entry, I really wanted to try and do a fiction type comic but every idea I had I kept loosing interest. Eventually I solved the problem by doing an autobiographical story sandwiched between two fiction stories.
The story on the top of the page was about some E.T's on a holiday tour to earth to sample Earth food, two of the tourists sit in the park to eat and talk about love and food.
The second fiction story at the bottom was originally going to be a spy story, but ended up being a love story gone wrong where the wife ends up poisoning the husband with a home made pie.
I am tempted to try some fiction again this year, and perhaps I can try and use a more developed writing method, like the ones I have been discussing in posts here. I guess we’ll see!

Crumb's Genesis

I've been keeping a close eye on all the updates related to Crumb's new Genesis book. For those of you that didn't know Crumb has adapted the bible into comics form. This image is probably the best indication of what it will look like so far.

By my understanding it will be a literal translation so it will be interesting if it ruffles any feathers.

There is more information here (also where the image is from)
