More painter doodling/unfinished character designing:



Last night I saw Transamerica with fellow cartoonists Derek, Jason S., and Jason T. It's worth seeing but not quite as great as I had hoped, for some reason. It has a lot of strong moments but it's kind of mired in a standard form "dramedy" plot. Felicity Huffman is still very good in the lead role. (And it's always a blast hanging out with those guys!)

I haven't been able to watch any movies in about a month and a half, and now that I can, there are barely any playing that I want to see! It's a very uncommon situation because I'm a huge movie freak. I guess I should check some DVD's out of the library... Is there anything I'm missing?

No I haven't seen that! I was a little scared by the mixed reviews, but I'm still curious. I'm not sure if it's still playing around here though...

I love how sculpted this painting looks.

Moviewise, Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story was fantastic and hilarious, and is a great meta-movie to boot (the official website is just as meta-awesome as well).

Hey thanks Kean. That's a good suggestion! Steve Coogan is hilarious.

Man, so sorry I'm missing all the hangouts! :(

The last film I saw theatrically was "Plagues & Pleasures of the Salton Sea", which isn't a very good documentary technically speaking, but the subject is fascinating enough to hold your attention. It makes me wanna drive down to Palm Springs and check it out.

And the last film I rented was "The Baxter", which you've probably seen and was very cute. :)

I haven't seen either of those! I will put them on the list.

And yes you are sorely missed Jen!

That image reminds me of Brad Holland and Lorenzo Mattotti -- in a good and not-at-all derivative way.

It'd be cool to see you pursue this style in a short comic or two.

I didn't know of them before, but I just googled them and--wow!

The little points of light on the face there are inspired by Daisuke "Dice" Ttsutsumi, but otherwise I was just messing around. :)

I plan to do my Flight 4 story this way, so we'll see how it turns out...
