What's in a concept?

I've been trying to develop a concept for a new webcomic series. It should be fun (for everyone) and easy (for me) to draw. I've got a lot of ideas but none seem right for that.

Well, in the meantime, here's a quick drawing that is not related to anything, really.

Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine

I'm drawing again. It'll take a while to get "back in shape" (if I ever was).
But thanks for the inspiration, girl.

A problem on my shoulder

I have not been drawing for the last couple of months because I've had a problem on my shoulder. I mean, literally (so it would be "a problem in my shoulder"). But I'm feeling better now and will be back to drawing as soon as possible.

In the meanwhile, I've taken some pictures to try out a new camera (that means I've still got to get used to the settings and stuff).

And I'll try to post here more oftenly.
Really.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane (which I've mentioned previously) is a 1976 thriller starring a 13 year old Jodie Foster.

It's a strange little movie with a preposterous plot that evolves (not that much) on a weird pacing. What you can't help noticing is that it's an old, dated film. I mean, half the soundtrack is fenomenal (Chopin) but the other half is like a 70's boogie! And it depicts a teenager in a lot of situations that would be unthinkable in today's mainstream movie industry.

Hopefully nobody ever thought about doing a remake. Which would obviously star Dakota Fanning (who actually looks a lot like a young Jodie Foster, how odd) or Chloe Moretz. But today's horror/thriller spasmodic editing standards would be so annoying and would leave the whole thing without a single trace of personality.

But this movie is an oddity and you should see it like that (if you ever want to watch it).

Fringe and the Dream Logic

If you have not watched Fringe S02E05 I suggest you don't read any further.

You've been warned.


Wikipedia said: "At the end of the episode, Peter has a nightmare that he can't remember. The nightmare shows a poster of Space Shuttle Challenger in a mission that never occurred in our reality, suggesting the nightmare is a memory from an alternate reality."

I have not realized that when I first watched the episode!
After checking it out once again, I saw a poster on Peter's wall:
"Challenger mission 11 - June 28 1984"

But (in our reality) Space Shuttle Challenger had only done 10 missions. The tenth (and last one) was this:
"January 28 1986 - Shuttle disintegrated after launch, killing all seven astronauts on board".

I remember that day...

Rag And Bone

Why do I draw skulls and skelletons? Why wouldn't I? Better yet, why don't you?

Mean Bean

I'm gonna try to use this neat posterous tool to present my comic strips in a different way. They're experimental comics anyway. Let's see if this works.

Yes, he has six fingers. Thanks for noticing it.

Hail To The Cook

A few days ago I was reading about last meals on death rows.

How sad must it be to prison cooks who never get feedback on their special work (since last meals are, well, special). I mean, a prisoner's last words will never be "Send my regards to the cook".

Would you be able to work as usual? Or would you take extra care to make everything perfect since it's gonna be a person's last meal ever? Even if the person in question must have done something horrible (to deserve death penalty).

Or maybe I just think too much about things that doesn't concern me...

Worm Holes

Last night I dreamed that there were some black worms trying to get into my arms.
They got in and started to crawl through my body. I remember feeling them in my lungs, I couldn't breath properly.
And, somehow, I knew that if they could get into my heart... that would be it. Game over.
But then I woke up.
What an anti-climax...
