The Man in Black

I just stumbled on to this Johnny Cash video and was blown away. It has got to be the most powerful music video I have ever seen. It came out a while ago, so forgive me if I'm a little behind on the times... Here is the link.

It was directed by Mark Romanek, a well known music video director. I looked up a few of his other videos, but none of them had the gravity or power of this one.

It's finally done!

After more than a year of stop and start, I've finally finished my story for Afterworks 3! Here's the title page:



Unfortunately, it may be another year before this hits the comic stands. The details haven't been completely ironed out yet, but Afterworks definitely won't be out in time for this year's comic con. You can rest assured that it will come out eventually, and the stories will (hopefully) be worth the wait!

Some left handed gestures

I spent a portion of the class last week gesturing with my left hand. I do this from time to time to keep myself from caring about the 'greatness' of the drawing, and to just focus on the physical act of drawing itself. The ironic thing is that these drawings usually end up being better than when I draw with my right. It reminds me of a quote my roommate read to me the other day by Thomas Merton: "we cannot achieve greatness unless we lose all interest in being great." I don't know about you, but that resonates so deeply with me. Hopefully these drawings will attest to that!
