| SUNDAY WILL BE THE BEST!! (aka Come buy a shirt from me!) |
[Jul. 5th, 2009|12:13 am] |
Ok, I'm taking a big shitload of these shirts:
to this convention tomorrow (aka today):
... so if none of you show up to buy any, I'm gonna be sad and pouty. DON'T MAKE ME SAD AND POUTY! It's not a pretty sight! Imagine me.... behind my massive wall of unsold shirts... a little tear trickling down my face as I breathily mouth the words: "D-does no one love the Boug...?"
So yes, come out and enjoy the lovely weather tomorrow on Main street here in Vancouver. They are also closing down the street a few blocks down the hill at Main and Broadway and having a big artisan/craft block party as well, so hit that on your way to the con! IT WILL BE THE FUNNEST SUNDAY EVER! Make sure you put on some sunscreen and wear a hat!
For those of you that want a shirt and don't live around here, as always you can order from the amazing selection at:

| HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXINE! |
[Jul. 4th, 2009|04:33 pm] |
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dandydevildog is having a birthday today! Go wish one of my favorite homies all the best if you're into that kind of thing.
ALSO:
Went and saw a JAWS/DUEL double bill midnight movie last night at the Rio with puddingsock. It was so nice riding my bike home as the sun was coming up... it was so warm out and I was riding around in my tee-shirt. Room temperature at 4:30 in the morning, you gotta love it.
I've seen JAWS so many times, but never with an audience, so that was quite a treat that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I almost always forget what a PERFECT movie it is. It's pretty much flawless. A masterpiece, really.
That is why it was such a shame that such a magnificent movie caused so much panic, death, and cruelty. In the wake of (and because of) both the novel and film adaptation of JAWS, sharks became incredibly over-hunted and misunderstood. The movie was so popular it became some kind of test of ones masculinity to kill a shark, and people actually began to fear going into the ocean regardless of the fact that being wounded by a shark while swimming is about as likely as being killed by a falling tree while walking through the woods. That's right: STAY OUT OF THE WOODS unless you want to DIE! Trees are killers, man! They will fuck you up! FEEEAAAAR THE TREEEEZ ^_^

| WTF? Unknown life form found in North Carolina Sewer |
[Jul. 1st, 2009|03:43 am] |
Ok, get ready for this you guys -- it has to be one of the WEIRDEST things I've seen this month.
When I first saw the vid, I assumed it was some kind of sly viral marketing for some new movie or some sci-fi earth invasion video game, but I dunno now... this appears to be the real deal and not some kind of hoax.
So where does this stand if it is real? As of now, that shit be unidentified, although there are some theories floating around in cyberspace. One scientist says it is a colony of Tubifex worms acting in unison (pfft, hell no. Are you BLIND?)
http://deepseanews.com/2009/06/creatures-from-the-sewer/
Another says it is an ancient prehistoric form of slimey coral called bryozoan (look at the bryozoan wiki page -- looks NOTHING like these pulsating scrotal bung-creatures!)
http://www.kdvr.com/kdvr-prehistoricsewermonstercaug-5439314,0,673974.story
...and of course everyone else who isn't a scientist is saying it's alien eggs, and when they hatch they're coming out of the sewers like CHUDS to suck our fucking brains out of our eye sockets.
So yeah, holy shit. We don't know what the fuck they are since no one has quite seen anything like them before. But an even better question is: What the fuck are they doing in a sewer in North Carolina? |

I do not know if that is a chick or a dood who is sucking off Mr. Insane Clown Posse there, but either way one thing is for sure:
This photo makes me believe in America.
1. In America, you can go camping.
2. In America, you have hispanic friends who have odd forehead patches.
3. In America, when someone takes a picture of you, you can do funny things with your fingers.
4. In America, your hair sweats when you put a fat man's penis in your mouth.
5. In America, a handkerchief is worn around your neck.
6. In America, it is good to put your short hair in little baby cornrows that make your head look like a hot-crossed bun.
7. In America, you can lift your shirt and your friend can put his head to your pale pink belly, but only if he has a big red headband on to protect his ears. |

| Welcome to what I do: |
[Jun. 30th, 2009|02:34 am] |
You know, it just dawned on me tonight that many of you LJ'ers may not even know what the majority of my creative output even looks like. Sure, you see my warm-up drawings and the doodles I do for people in my book now and then, but you may not know what the work I put all of my time into even looks like. I'm talking about Cinema Sewer magazine, which also makes up the content of the collected books published by FAB Press in the UK.
Anyway, if that is the case, here is part of a page that will appear in Cinema Sewer issue #23. Imagine 44 pages of this kind of thing, and you'll have an idea of what to expect in an issue. Yes, in the last 12 years I've hand lettered and illustrated nearly a thousand pages just like this one. (938 pages, to be exact.... Holy shit... I had never added it up until just now, and I almost made myself do a spit-take!)
Order now, won't you? There are 10 issues avail for $6 each (shipping included) and I even take paypal!
http://www.cinemasewer.com/?page_id=6
This article should clock in at 4 or 5 pages when I finish it, by the way. |

I think incest fantasies are pretty hawt. Now, I don't mean my OWN family, mind you. That's gross. ^_^ And I don't mean underage incest either. But yeah: Mother/Daughter and Father/Daughter? Damn, yo. I likez that pervy taboo vibe!
I had to tell my penis to chill out so I could finish this drawing. He never listens to me though. He's very insolent. That is why I must punish him now. |

| Brothers, sisters -- let us piss together |
[Jun. 25th, 2009|05:58 pm] |
If you hang out with me on a pretty regular basis, you know that I preach a philosophy of true equality -- not the half-assed safe version that much of society seems to go by. Most of my best friends since I was a teenager have been female, and I enjoy the buddy-buddy camaraderie of the opposite sex as much as I enjoy it with my fellow dudes. It's a different vibe (that can sometimes employ the same facets used in flirting), but not one that is any less important to me.
But I wonder if society will allow us to ever truly be equal. I want us to get there in my lifetime, and I am now convinced that the ultimate barometer of that goal will be if men and women can pee together in a public washroom without any weirdness -- the way we do with strangers of the same sex every goddamn day without batting an eyelid.
Maybe this dream is too lofty, and maybe you think I'm just being pervy and trying to cover up for it with gender-studies babble. Look, I'm not saying we need a unisexual society, but how about more of an emphasis on individual character? Maybe we won't evolve past this stalemate, but I don't think so. Change is constant.
You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll pee alongside us -- and the world will be as one. |

| FRENCH PULP |
[Jun. 24th, 2009|02:22 pm] |
My homey Gary just hipped me to a great french blog called:
http://muller-fokker.blogspot.com/
Here are some of the exciting delights I found trolling through their archive:
I have some issues of 'Wallestein'. None with covers that are this buckwild though.
Love the 60s color scheme on the 'Scarlet Dream' cover here. I totally know this artists name, but I just can't place it at the moment. Looks a little like Jean-Claude Forest, but that ain't it. A little help, my French friends?

EDIT: I remembered on my own... it was the late Robert Gigi. How is it that everyone knows who Moebius is in the North American comic scene, and no one seems to know Gigi? The guy was so far ahead of his time and talented, it's scary.

Anyway, back to the pulpies:
Oh, and an old 70s men's magazine cover I didn't find at muller-fokker, but that is crazy-cool so I thought I'd show it to you anyway:

I miss that zoo. I used to go there and see the otters on their slide when I was a little kid. Good memories. |

Something I wrote on a message board the other day when the topic of doing comics as a means to become famous came up:
--------
What kind of douchebag would get into drawing comics as a vehicle to be famous?? That makes zero sense. It's like saying: "I wanna be a fame whore, so I'm gonna join a yahtzee league!"
Considering it's many, many, years spent alone drawing, and then, if you're mindbogglingly lucky (as well as talented), you might strive to become one of the 50 currently most famous personalities in the medium. Which would make you about as famous as, say, one of the most popular cup-stackers in the world.
Actually, scratch that. It's not even close now that I look at the number of hits on youtube. 10 times more people have seen Emily Fox stack cups than have read all of Bruce Timm, Mike Mignola's, and Darwyn Cooke's comics put together.

90% of the population doesn't know shit about comics. |

From article: "15 Companies That May Go Bankrupt In 2009"
Blockbuster. (BBI; about 60,000 employees; stock down 57%). The video-rental chain has burned cash while trying to figure out how to maximize fees without alienating customers. Its operating income has started to improve just as consumers are cutting back, even on movies. Video stores in general are under pressure as they compete with cable and Internet operators offering the same titles. A key test of Blockbuster’s viability will come when two credit lines expire in August. |

| Bible stories: Please rape my virgin daughter! |
[Jun. 18th, 2009|12:01 am] |
You gotta read this quote from Neil Gaiman:
-------------------------
"I once, when I was young, nearly sent a Swedish publisher to jail for a bible story. I was involved in a comic called 'Outrageous Tales from the Old Testament' where we retold, with a straight face, stories from the Old Testament.
I told a story from the book of Judges, in which a man's wife is, to quote the bible; 'whoring about on him.' And he sent her away and then he goes and gets her back from her father. He misses her. They stop off in this little village over night. The townsfolk gather around on the road to Bethlehem, which is where they are and say, 'That man that came to you tonight. Throw him out so that we may have sex with him. We want to rape him.' And this man says 'No. No. No. I will not. That would be a terrible thing. That would be a violation of all the laws of hospitality. And he's my guest. But I'll tell you what. He has a wife with him and I have a virgin daughter whose never known any man. You can have them.'
They get 'known' and abused all night and are left dead on the doorstep the next morning. When the guy gets up the morning he finds his wife dead on the doorstep, and he takes her home and cuts her into thirteen bits, and sends one to each of the tribes of Israel. So I told that story and did it fairly straight, and next thing I knew I had a Swedish publisher about to go to jail because there is a Swedish law forbidding the depiction of images of violence against women. That particular bible story is filled with images of violence against women. I think it was more or less only the fact that it was from the bible and told completely straight that got him off. "
--------------------------
Proof again of the idiocy and hypocrisy of censoring/incarcerating people for drawing, publishing, and selling comics and drawings. Goodness, how enlightened of Sweden, that there's a "law forbidding the depiction of images of violence against women". Not that there's a similar one against showing men being brutalized. *THAT* would just be fucking silly... *rolls eyes X100*
Speaking of that: Here is some of that sweet-ass woman-on-man violence for you, and it is TOTALLY LEGAL IN SWEDEN! haha ^_^
 
Thanks to Jan for showing me these great covers.

I am of the opinion that BREAKING BAD is the best long-form TV drama since THE WIRE. Just watched the first 7 episodes of the first season, and It's just *that* good. You can keep your stupid 24, your never-ending LOST, and your shitty PRISON BREAK. None of them are worthy to cup the balls of these two shows. |

| Obayashi+Bronson=MANDOM |
[Jun. 15th, 2009|11:30 pm] |
Anyone who knows me has probably heard my fanboyish raving in recent weeks about Nobuhiko Obayashi's gonadtastic crazy film HOUSE (1977). Well, here are some commercials for a Japanese men's fragrance "Mandom" starring everybody's favorite Death Wisher, Charles Bronson! Obayashi was one of the first Japanese commercial directors to work frequently with foreign stars as pitchmen, something that's very commonplace in the industry nowadays.
Choppin' wood, catching trout with his bare hands, bouncing down sand dunes, playing cards with some cologne. Bronson has testicles of titanium, and does it all!
Thanks to Outcast Cinema Blog for the heads-up on these! And here are clips from HOUSE if you need your mind blown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOdAhJbhi0Y |

We went to the night market in Chinatown on Saturday to get some choice BBQ squid on a stick and some curry fish balls from the street vendors, b-cuz there ain't nuttin like good street meats. Anyway, as we were leaving I bought some dead bugs for Rebecca (she squealed with glee), and a pack of sharpies, because I can always use those.
Now it is a couple days later, and I go to use the sharpies to address some envelopes, and one of them is totally bone dry, and the tip on the other just frays into monkey-scat after using it for 2 minutes. "What the shit", I say between mouthfuls of my chocolate milk. "What is the haps with these fuckpump markers?".
I take a closer look, and realize that I have been duped! BOOTLEG SHARPIES! They are SHARBAOS! And they are made by "Richehg Richeng" lol
Here are some super-special bonus photos of my cat Orson sleeping on a rug that my moms made out of old coats she found at the thrift store:
He snoozes and snores like a little turd-burgler -- which is funny, because in these pics he is sleeping right under our big tall speakers in the living room, and I am blaring out some MEGAFORCE (1983) surround-sound style, and he doesn't even seem to notice. Used to it, I guess. Either that or he's deaf. |
