THE SIMPSONS NEWS

First week back on the show after having three weeks off.  Hit the ground running from the get go.  I had to be done with the first part of my assignment by Wednesday. It took me longer than I wanted it to.

It didn’t help that I came in on Monday a bit brain dead.

I managed to get done, and was handed Act 2.  Big rewrite but the episode is REALLY good.  I’m happy to be working on it.

MY WEB COMIC

The punchline!

For the full comic CLICK HERE.

Yay! Bunnies!

Okay, so below are two page five.  The first one is the version I drew first:

I didn’t end up using it because I realized that it didn’t read the way I wanted it to.  I wanted the eye of the reader to read the punchline first and THEN see the bunnies. But the way it actually read, you saw the bunnies first and then you read the punchline. I didn’t like that so I chose to move the panel up.

I was much happier with the final version.

Below is the under drawing:

Oh, and in case you where wondering why I hand draw the word balloons in my comics…I do it because it’s a comic. The word balloons ARE part of the art and part of the composition of every panel. Seems wrong not to do it.

VIDEOS

My dad is a fan of Juan Esquivel.  I find his music fun and I own one of his cds. My dad showed me the video below on Friday because he said he found someone online that likes Juan Esquivel WAY MORE than him.  Who IS Juan Esquivel? I’m glad you asked because the video below answers that very question.  WHY am I putting this video up on my blog though? Because I thought this was a fantastic example of how one guy’s charisma can make simply talking into the camera and telling someone about what he’s passionate about, darn entertaining.

WRITING

I would be lying if I said I’ve spent every moment I had a little time, on finish up the second draft of my treatment.  I got a little sidetracked wanting to start on my next project and I ended up spending the weekend trying to solve the “A” Plot.  I got it to the point good spot. I told myself I would dedicate the rest of my week on my Illustrated Film.  So I have.  I’m happy to say the revision is coming along nicely.  Hopefully I’ll have it done by the end of the week.  I’m adding adjusting and generally enjoying this part of the editing process.

Since I’ve made some big changes, I’m going to have to go back to my old designs and made the necessary adjustments.  I’ll probably have to do that next week.
