It’s been a while since I’ve literally laughed out loud at a webcomic, but this PVP strip did it. In related news, my Kenyon friends and I are debating the quality of the newly-announced PVP animated project they’re trying to get off the ground over at Shannon’s LJ – stop by and weigh in.

Of course, one of the primary reasons I’m feeling overwhelmed is due to the whopping huge number of open tabs that I seem to have accrued. Seriously. Safari has crashed twice in the last twenty minutes because I have literally dozens of interesting things up in tabs at the moment. I will now link to […]

Last night I posted something extremely snarky, a rant sparked from frustration. I’ve since yanked it down. Bits and pieces will probably resurface here and there, but long story short, I’m feeling sort of beaten down by the naysayers lately. People lack vision – there’s nothing new there, of course, but I’m longing for a […]

There’s been a whole ton of stuff happening in me-land lately, so much so that the blog has sort of fallen by the wayside. I should be doing copious amounts of work and reading right now, but I also suspect that if I don’t take 10 minutes or so to type up some of this […]

This is the first in what I’m hoping will be a long series of entries here that serve as mini-reviews of the texts I’m reading for my THESIS. For the first batch, I’m going to be focusing on writing for comics; I’m taking a class on comics this term with CMS co-head Henry Jenkins, so […]

For multiple reasons lately, I’ve been thinking about online magazines. As many of you have noticed, Inkblots went down a while ago. It hadn’t been updated since 2002-2003, aside from the blogs of Ken and I, but a perfect storm of catastrophes first brought the site down and then prevented me from bringing it back […]

One of my great failings as an artist, if not as a human being, is that I’m almost constantly running behind with my projects. This is due to a number of reasons – I’m still learning to say “no”, I occasionally get burnt out and have to unwind for a couple of days to get […]

So next weekend is the Convergence Culture Consortium‘s fall shindig, the Futures of Entertainment Conference. I’ve just finished putting together the program for the event, which looks sort of like this: The aesthetic is an attempt to capitalize on what is actually a drawback: the art that C3 manager Joshua Green found for the event […]

I’ve been reluctant to upgrade from Adobe CS1 to CS2, but now SXSW alum Joshua Davis has been interviewed by Adobe, and he makes it sound pretty sweet. There may be reason not to wait until the Flash-integrated CS3 after all.
