Crazy Comics
- A site I’d like to draw to your attention is the Comic Art Collective. There, you’ll find the work of a number of comic artists with works for sale. A good way to view some beautiful pieces.
A couple of artists I’d like to single out: Kim Deitch, always brilliant (see the drawing to the right); Peter Bagge, cartoon distortion that makes a point; Tony Millionaire(The Maakies), hilarious work.
You know, all the folk at this site do fine work, and I shouldn’t single any of them out.
My only complaint is that the reproductions aren’t large enough to easily read.
- Digital Media Effx is a site that includes a number of interesting essays on some animation greats: Ward Kimball, Terry Giliam, John Hubley, and Bill Hanna.
- Daniel Thomas MacInnes on his site Conversations on Ghibli, gives a report on the opening of Goro Miyazaki‘s animated feature, Gedo Senki(Tales From The Earthsea). The son of Hayao Miyazaki makes his film debut with this one, and anticipation is high for how the son’s film will compare to the father’s body of work.
Daniel Thomas’ posting leads to a couple of the Japanese reviews. This is an adaptation of Ursula LeGuin’s novels about Earthsea. The book was adapted into a bad live action Sci-Fi series in 2004. Reviewed here.
- I’m looking forward to the retrospective of the works of Bruno Bozzetto coming to the Ottawa Animation Fest, this September. His site is a good way to aquaint yourself with this Animation Master of the medium. Take a look at Freedom, Life, or Neuro to see what simple and effective work can be done with Flash.
