Taxation


Panel 06 remix Posted by Hello
Didn't like the tone on the first try, so I re-did it. Now I'm not certain I like the background tones. Next up: Digital Tone Scraping!

It's a Friday of good and badness. On the downside I got my taxes done and off to Austin, but on the upside I got a big box o'landjaegers from Schmidt's Meat Market in Nicollet. Thanks to my friend Rick Lucas back in New Ulm, MN. You roxxor, Rick!

Also, Seward Street, James R. Hull's animation blog, has set up a mirror for the BRING ME THE HEAD OF CHARLIE BROWN clip. Which is really neat because I've been visiting that blog for awhile now. I guess that means I'm part of the animation blogsphere...

Bootleg: Final Wars

I thought the Japanese DVD release wasn't until next month. Doesn't matter, I was hit with about a dozen e-mail alerts about GODZILLA: FINAL WARS bootleg DVDs today. Do yourself a favor and don't buy 'em. Don't support these bastards, support Toho and buy the Region 2 DVDs.

I think it's an elf?


Panel 06 Posted by Hello
Another panel, but I don't know who or what it is. It could be an elf. I don't have a thing for elves, but who knows what I was thinking when I drew this? Or maybe it's a cute alien girl. The tones are done with Deleter's Comic Works and the inks with a brush pen, and that about covers the technical details....

I borrowed HELL HOUSE from Josh and I've gotta say I enjoyed it. What's better then a hellfire sermon that depicts the torments and horrors of hell? Why, a hellfire sermon with the depictions of the torments and horrors of hell! It's Grand Guignol filtered through Jack Chick with a showbiz angle. Highly recommended.

Panel on Panel

Here's panel no. 3 in my series of comix panels for a possible webcomic thing.

Watched and returned:

It amazes me that these films are much more enjoyable then what comes out nowadays. Sure the acting has a few hiccups and the craftwork is a bit rough about the edges, but I enjoyed them, alot. They have appeal...

Crime on Crime


I've been getting alot of Japanese Gangster movies though NetFlix lately, and this one has become my favorite so far. BLACKMAIL IS MY LIFE (1968) is fun, stylish, hip and enjoyable. Young small time losers trying to play the yakuza and corrupt officials, it's a typical plot, so director Kinji Fukasaku just plays with the telling, and it looks like he had alot of fun, it's infectious...

As opposed to The Pornographers - Criterion Collection (1966) which, while it had some interesting ideas and characters, wasn't very fun. Not that I'd dissuade anybody from watching it, I'm not going to recommend it...

Texas Playboys

As I was caught in traffic because It's opening day for the Texas Rangers, I started singing Bob Will's "Take it on down"

So, when I finally got back I looked up the lyrics and found that the song is called "Hurry on down" as sung by Bette Midler...

Hurry on down to my house, baby.
Oh, I’m blue as I can be.
I love you. you love me.
A-hurry through the alley
So the neighbors don’t see.
Hurry on down to my house, honey,
Ain’t nobody home but me. oooh.

Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain’t nobody home but me.
Hurry on down to my house, baby.
I’m blue as I can be.

Oh, blue when the clock a-went
Tick-tock-tick.
Ooh, c’mon, honey, quick, quick, quick.
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain’t nobody home but me.

Say, hurry, hurry, a-nobody’s home.
Hurry on down, baby,
I’m blue as I can be.
Oh, please come down
Just as soon as you can.
If you don’t come down,
I got to call sam!
You know the man is crazy about me.
Ain’t nobody home but me . . . ow!

Well, what’s goin’ on with the three of yous? c’mon, c’mon, make it snappy. c’mon, c’mon, work out, work out! go, babe, get down, get down! oh, lord! nobody’s home!

Say, hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain’t nobody home.
Haul it down, drag it down,
Any way to get it down.
I’m blue as I can be.
Ashes-to-ashes. dust-to-dust.
C’mon, honey, you must, you must!
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain’t nobody home but me.

Hurry, hurry. a-nobody’s home.
Haul it down and drag it down.
You know I can’t stand to be alone.
Operator, get me hillside, 409.
A-don’t stop ringin’
’til you get that baby’s line!
He’s gonna haul it down!
Ain’t nobody home but, you believe it,
There’s nobody home but me! wo!
