editoral note

I have tweaked the formatting of the posts so that they can read more clearly. Please let me know if there are any problems or you'd like to see subsequent changes.

Various Links (with NO camel spiders!)

Things that I am grooving on right now that you might enjoy (this is a very eclectic list):

• First, Spongebob
• Second, Jon Klassen
• Then Sam Bosma
• To cleanse the palette, a tribute to Where the Wild Things Are
• Introducing Uwe Heidschoetter
• Don't miss Lou Romano's color scripts from UP

Ok, that's enough.  You'll never get anything done if you spend all your time looking at the crap I post. 

Wait, there is one more thing. My updated website. Comments and criticism welcome.

Sam, Yuko, James and camel spiders

Here are some of the things I'm inspired by at the moment:

My current obsession, Sam Weber
Another great illustrator, Yuko Shimizu, has a great interview on the business and practice: here
You probably also already know James Jean.

Here's an interesting flickr set tutorial on inking with ink and brush.

Lastly:

Massive Black

Hello everyone. It was great seeing you yesterday. Looking forward to it next week. You may already know about this, but it's prescient regarding our discussions about digital illustration. The studio is called Massive Black (http://massiveblack.com/mbNew/html/illustration1.shtml). In my opinion, they're one of the best. They've got an illustrator who calls himself Nox. I've never seen his equal. Also you can download process videos and tutorials. Pretty cool stuff.

Hello!

This is Stasia - I guess I'll go with the trend and post my blog address: http://stasiab.wordpress.com/
Today was a lot of fun! It's good to meet you all, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new work this summer brings. I'll see most of you next Wednesday!

Umm, hey

So, my name's Andy Potter, and here's a link to my blog. Yeah. Swing on by and say hello if you feel like it. I'll try and post some more photos of recent work on it soon.

Blog Address

Hello. Here's the address for my blog. It has just about everything I've worked on for the last two years (even the stuff I would ordinarily never show like concept drawings). If you're interested, drop on by and hopefully I'll see some of you on Wednesday at Sister's Brew. In the meantime, here are a few examples of recent work. Cheers. -Noah Kroese

Akira - American Style

We keep coming back to Akira, so I thought this was appropriate (especially in light of the pending Hollywood remake):

Tokyopop and M.I.M.C.

Here you can find Tokyopop's submission guidlines, Rising Stars of Manga competition (though it currently appears to be out of date), and some other interesting information: http://www.tokyopop.com/corporate/submissions.


This is the link for the Morning International Manga Competition: http://e-morning.jp/mimc/.

Manga Analysis series

Here's a site a friend linked me to. It's someone's livejournal, but he/ she talks about panelling and organization and such. :3

posemanics

For my own memory: site for viewing posed digital figures that has a number of tools.  Figures show musculature and can be repositioned for different viewing angles.
