How Suessical

Good ole Dr. Suess, the creator of Wockets which of course always reside in pockets. I drew this one without frames but added them in as I colored. I think it looks good with the differently shaped frames against the black background. Not drawing frames in the first place actually give quite a bit of freedom on how to draw frames later.

There is a now a blog for the TV pilot that I'm a part of making. You visit it at www.sharkbrown.blogspot.com. The blog was put together by one of my group members Doug, who also did the story on our project for I-News. We wrapped shooting on the project this weekend, and we have head start on post production. We're going to hold a premiere for the pilot on April 7th in the Spori building here on campus. If you are anywhere near Rexburg at that time you are invited to attend.

I also have a new story up on my other blog that is about the Mechanical Engineering seniors and the "Capstone" projects they are working on. It's pretty cool I think.

Digging Myself Deeper

I've decided that I'm not going to draw my comics in frames for a while. Maybe for here on out. I like the process of not having frames quite a bit. It is quite freeing, we'll see how long I stick with it. I may add frames in as I color for some, but that it why there are no frames on this comic.

I have links to my two latest bits for i-News up on my other blog. You can check them out if you want.

I'm also working on a TV pilot currently. We should wrap up filming by next weekend. Once we're done with that I think we should be able to get a trailer together and I'll get that up for you to view as well.

I saw Alice and Wonderland last night. I enjoyed it thoroughly. You're probably aware by now that this is not really a adaption of Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass but rather a sequel to them. I thought both Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen were magnificent in their roles. The movie was funny, and of course being from Tim Burton it was visually stunning. If you haven't seen it yet I'd definitely recommend that you catch it.

Storage

I didn't have anything drawn for this week, so I was going to go without posting. But after finishing reading Catching Fire the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy (I find myself wanting August to come faster so I finish the trilogy which I am liking so far) I was in a drawing mood. I drew a drawing I'm quite happy with that will likely appear somewhere sometime. And then I did this. Other than the Penguin (which I am happy with) the rest of it I don't think is my best work but it made both me and brother laugh so hopefully it does the same for you.

Elephant returns


Just a quick little drawing today. Amy gets her first new outfit in this one. I don't know what prompted me to change from her usual pink shirt deal but I did.

I have a link up to the latest VOSOT I did for i-News up on my other blog. I also forgot to post the link last week for my video on tuning a guitar that is up there. So if you're interested you can check those out.

I discovered a new band this week. I went to show this weekend and one of the bands playing, Spondee, turned out to be a nice discovery. They put on a great show and their music is nice and fun. My brother bought their CD and they gave us snap bracelets with the purchase. Snap bracelets! Anyone remember those? They are on iTunes and are worth a look.

I also caught Sherlock Holmes this week. It was fun. Robert Downey Jr. was spot on, I thought, and very fun as Holmes. There is more fighting and general action than I would expect from a standard Holmes story but considering that this is an original story simply using the character and that action movie director Guy Ritchie is at the helm this is perhaps to be expected. Fun.
