IDIOT ENGINE episode 24: Is Art Worth Teaching?

Me and Manuel Arellano ask the question, "Is Art Worth Teaching?" Manuel has been an Educator for some 20 plus years, he's been a Teacher, Counselor and Principle, in the school district so I consider myself very lucky he made the time to cohost the ENGINE with me! Thanks Manuel! (And I hope you don't "Grade" this blog post... lotsa typos I'm sure!)

MAKING MYSELF A COMIC: final sequence

This type of stream of consciousness comicbook work is a great way to find a little peace of mind, AND get some good practice in to boot! The nice thing about this type of exercise is sometimes you can find compositions and ideas that you can use for your published works.

SUPERMONSTERS COLORING UNLEASHED!

I received some cool pics from Talented freelance artist/illustrator OFLODA showing the awesome work his family did coloring the SUPERMONSTERS! Those monsters have never looked better Ofloda! Makes me wonder if those talented artists don't have some supermonsters of their own they'll be drawing some day! Thanks for sharing the Awesomeness!

IDIOT ENGINE episode 23: Technology and how it influences our work

Me and frequent cohost (Thanks Jav!) JAVIER HERNANDEZ discuss the current and upcoming technology and how it influences our work and how we present it to our audience. We discuss using the Cintiq for comics so I'm posting an image of a page done in Photoshop cs2 using the Cintiq. I scanned in a thumbnail, but my rough, finish and graytone was done digitally. Thanks again Jav!
