Sisters With Transistors

Killer Nick Furry #1 homage, great color.

I knew you'd get it.... I wish I hadn't gone all Neil Adam's on Mz Adventure's face but whatever. It was fun.

The dick knight returns

Nailed it. I love it!

I was just watching the DC animated Dark Knight Returns the other day, because I'm a super hip and cool person like that. ;)

Coloring the PiP panel to illustrate that they're watching TV in a dark room is not easy, but you pulled it off damn well.

They really hit the nail on the head with pt1 of the DKR movie. It falls off in pt2 but the look is pure Miller/Jansen/Varley.

I'm still getting chops back but DKR has a road map for every sort of storytelling device... including the TV in a dark room. When Bruce is watching mask of zorro it's right there to learn from.

I'm just happy that it exists, it still has Ronald Reagan in it, and that Zach Snyder had nothing to do with it :).

I love this movie! It’s in my top ten. Jim, you nailed the style of the original comic.

As a side note, it’s fascinating how the politics and hyper psychoanalysis parodied in that 1986 graphic novel are still highly correlative with those of 2021. It’s a wonderful treatment of populism. This quote always makes me laugh:

It makes me sick, to see such a violation of people's rights. We have to strive to reintegrate the disenfranchised into society, not revel in their punishment. We have to show patience.

Excuse me? No, I'd never live in the city.

I read it when the 1st collected edition hit shelves. I had no idea as an 8 or 9 year old what I was about to read. I knew Miller from Daredevil and the Wolverine miniseries but DKR blew my mind. It's still on point politically and I still enjoy the way it skewers almost every point of view the characters represent without actually vilifying batman.

You've got me beat by years. I don't remember buying a comic book until Spiderman #1 (1990) hit the shelves... just saw it at some mom and pop grocery store in the middle of nowhere and was like "What? They rebooted Spiderman? And it comes in a cool plastic bag? I'm in!"... talk about a worst possible time to get into comics... but I didn't know any better, I still enjoyed it. The comic book shops I eventually found still had the superior Marvel and DC stuff from the 80s for sale, and there were always TPBs. There were great things to read in the 90s, of course, but trust me, I had no clue and just bought a bunch of terrible headed-for-bankruptcy Marvel stuff.

I came in really young. I was really unhealthy as a little boy and my dad would get me comics to cheer me up whenever I was hospitalized. I came in at the Secret Wars and learned to read from the FF and Xmen. I actually took DKR out from the local library as I recall because they had a small shelf of graphic novels. Anything that won awards.... including watchmen, V for vendetta...

I'm sorry to hear you were in and out of the hospital as a kid, that really sucks. At least it got you hooked up with some of the best comic books ever. 10 year old me is jealous of that library you speak of, sounds awesome.

I drew diogenes as alan moore...

There aren't enough comics about Alexander the Great.

Killer work on the shadows and perspective!

Thanks. It was a pretty snazzy 3 point grid to get all the details the writer asked for jammed in the big panel.

Following the untimely demise of the 'zine that ran the SID strips a full blown comic began to coalesce... the first story arc predates Richie and details SID's exploits on the late 80s with David Lynch and Kyle Maclachlan

I also have a pitch headed to Dark Horse that's still in pencils adapted from my friend Paul's short film noir story on acid that also has a dose of vietnam flashback, political jackassery and gang violence... Paul also plays guitar and writes tunes in addition to his work as a comic book journalist, editor and ghost writer

I watched sisters with transistors finally... is it sexist to admit I was bored? It's not the subject matter, it was just shit documentary film making... made ken burns seem engaging!

this book gets mapped out in thumbnail at print scale from a tight manuscript and then drawn at 3 times that size 1 panel at a time and I assemble it in my computer for max detail, it's meant to by hyper-realistic and an affront to the senses. Note the amount of detail on the lace part of the stockings... I'm crushing your brain!

Its been a slower year for audio work so far but visual art has been jumpin'!

It's gotten quiet here...

Too bad about the Sisters thing...

So, I've always enjoyed art history but never really delved into Comic Art history.

This brief YT vid has piqued my interest however.
