I’m not incredibly sure what’s going on in Tim Hensley’s sketchbook but I love it.

Warren Ellis on work-for-hire
Warren Ellis explains his short stints on corporate owned comics
I’m okay with painting other people’s houses for short periods, because I’m good at it and it pays well and on nice days it’s fun. But I never ever confuse painting a house for owning that house. And if I spent every waking hour painting other […]
How to make zines and mini comics
my pal Dave Lasky just put this little tutorial book up on his flickr page. It’s from a few years back but the information is still sound.
note that the images are laid out in order to print them as a zine. If you want to just read it on the web you’ll have to jump […]

But despite the strength of the artists, the panels and “spotlights” did not come close to living up to what APE program promised […]
that’s a-DOR-able
Sky and Winter McCloud visit Savannah Georgia and talk to Drew Weing and Eleanor Davis. I think every interview should be conducted by a cute little kid… interviewers would be destroyed once they reached a certain age like in Logan’s run.
More stuff forthcoming, I’ve been out of town, sorry.
Comics writers take note.
Jesse Hamm has some interesting (though not entirely convincing) things to say about why comics writers should step off and let the artist draw. I’m not sold on his line of action “rule,” his ideas on visual cliche’s seem a little too vague, I kind of like the “archie andrews two-face” and a few of […]
