Asaf Hanuka, brother of equal renown and genetic make up of Tomer, has begun to post the serialized comics story of his family searching for a new place to live, called The Realist.
Hey wow check out all of the comics thoughts that are available for you to read on the relatively recently redesigned The Comics Journal and Comics Comics blogs. Looking good, guys.
I wonder if life would have ended up being more awesome or less awesome if I had been reading Heavy Metal Magazine as a teenager. It ended up that I only bought one issue from a gas station in Alabama back on tour ‘98. Designer/illustrator Eric Carl has a late 1980s through early 2000s collection of the magazine of which he scanned covers to his cool variety of Flickr sets. What does a magazine full of weird sultry cyborg warrior sluts from the future do to the young man’s mind?
Marco Corona draws fantastic looking sketchbook drawings and comics and you can see them on his Flickr pages and his blog.
Jesse Moynihan, artist of the epic Forming, Arthur and Meathaus contributor (see Forming sketches in GO FOR THE GOLD! 3) and fellow Philadelphian has been enlisted into the ranks of Cartoon Network’s cartoon factory to labor on Adventure Time, where another Meathaus Man, Mr. Thomas Herpich, has been comfortably destroying his assignments like nobody’s business. Moynihan has a temporary post, or maybe a temporary-temporary post in a business where all positions are temporary, but as he explains on his blog, the job should float him for the rest of the year in which he can focus on drawing more of his intense, full-color comics offered to you weekly and free of charge. Nice!
Now as Forming is on a hiatus, it is a good time to catch up or start from the beginning.
Bendik Kaltenborn art is featured uncredited as one of two covers in a post a few posts below this here, he did one of the covers of the “Kush” comics anthology. Thanks to Mr. Giard’s comments on the same post, his portfolio of work and more have been brought to my attention and they are a trove of eyeball-treasure.
C’est Bon Anthology is put out by C’est Bon Kultur in Sweden and features the talents of comics creators worldwide alongside feature articles such as the Mike Diana interview pictured above from a recent issue. James contributed the cover for Volume 3. These dudes often show up at MoCCA in NYC so if they come again this year you can check their wares out in person.
Jesse Reklaw makes the comic Slow Wave where people send him their dreams and he makes comics out of them incorporated into a fictional narrative. He also went on a comics tour back in ‘08 which instigated a pile of diary comics here on his Flickr account twenty pages deep. You can buy copies at Global Hobo.
Brandon has taken up a five day residency at Whitechapel, Warren Ellis’s forum for his free online comic FreakAngels. He has been answering all sorts of questions in a sort of pumped up version of his uniformly awesome livejournal blog, which I’ve linked up too many times to review here. Click over for more of Brandon’s weird photoshop pictures, his influences and theories on how to always stay excited about drawing the comics.
