Either way, this past year or so I have really grown<br />to appreciate the huge amount of work and love that goes<br />into these things....and I seem to be buying more.<br /><br />'Transmetroplolitan:back on the street' <br />by Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson<br />Great stuff, wasn't sure about the art at first but it was a 'grower',<br />reminded me of 2000AD from years back'<br /><br /><br />'Identity Crisis'<br />by Brad Meltzer, Rags Morales<br />Really engaging and well written, never expected to give a crap<br />about 'Elongated Man', Art kinda trad 'comic booky' but still cool.<br /><br /><br />'B.P.R.D: The Dead'<br />by Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, Guy Davis<br />Ok..if a bit incoherant with two unrelated story threads, I just wish<br />Mignola himself was still doing the art, tough shoes to fill<br />for anybody.<br /><br /><br />'Batman Faces'<br />by Matt Wagner<br />Short but neat story, really enjoyed the pace and 'simplicity'<br />of the art.<br /><br /><br />'Superman & Batman: Generations'<br />by John Byrne<br />Not really my usual cuppa being such an 'out there' soap opera<br />story, but I enjoyed the traditional comic book visuals more than<br />I expected.<br /><br /><br />'Batman deathblow'<br />by Brian Azzarello, Lee Bermejo<br />Story is cool and the art is dark, gritty in your face stuff, didn't like<br />the 're-design' of Batmans costume though.<br /><br /><br />'The Moth'<br />by Steve Rude<br />Great fun pulpy 'phantom' kinda stuff, retro art perfectly<br />compliments the 'hero lives in a circus' groove.<br /><br /><br />'The Pulse: Secret War'<br />by Brian Michael Bendis, Brent Anderson, Michael Lark<br />Having been a huge Bendis fan for a long time, I feel bad I'm losing<br />interest, but this book feels more like an excuse for a crossover<br />than a story.<br /><br /><br />'The Originals'<br />by Dave Gibbons<br />Ok..Quadrophenia with hover bikes, but the visuals felt kinda<br />too 'friendly'.<br /><br /><br />Selina's Big Score'<br />by Darwyn Cooke<br />Terrific all round... how anybody can draw such beautiful faces with<br />half a dozen brush stokes I just have no idea.Brave_Sir_Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08615174870463942433noreply@blogger.com390tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13733324.post-1128310798943080642005-10-02T20:39:00.000-07:002005-10-02T20:59:52.616-07:00Champion Pinup Number 3<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11999118@N00/48875947/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/33/48875947_0a5572bcd8.jpg" width="346" height="500" alt="ronnie_pinup" /></a><br /><br />My errant child of a MAC will not let me have the No2 Pinup<br />right now, so here is number 3.<br />The Champion as depicted by the hugely talented<br /><br />Ronnie Del Carmen<br /><a href="http://www.ronniedelcarmen.com/">www.ronniedelcarmen.com</a><br /><br />Aside from being annoyingly good, a seemingly effortless<br />draughtsman and all round 'story Yoda'.

It was very cool to get an opportunity to do ones<br />personal 'take' on something quite so iconic.<br />Though I hadn't drawn Batman since my teens, felt kinda naughty.<br /><br />I had been approached by DC's Mark Chiarello back at San Diego Con<br />(check out his beautiful Batman:The Devil's Workshop) <br />after a few emails and a bunch of thumbnail ideas, he chose one of<br />the designs and suddenly I had a commision...<br /><br />Despite a really good attempt on my MAC's part to screw up all the<br />files on my drive, I managed to complete and turn in the final image<br />just the other week. (credit to local MAC meister, Dr Terry)<br />I can't imagine any editor wishes to hear "er.. my computer crashed"<br />from a first time cover artist. Though it's often quite a legitimate<br />excuse back at Pixar...<br /><br />I shall ask the nice folks at DC if I may put anything related up here,<br />perhaps at least the rejected thumbnails if my MAC lets me have<br />them back. Not sure when or how the 'final' will make it to the<br />stands, I'll post details when I have them.<br /><br />and yeah...every post should have a picture<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3919/1219/1600/old_champ2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3919/1219/400/old_champ1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This was a previous incarnation<br />of 'The Champion' from 2004Brave_Sir_Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08615174870463942433noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13733324.post-1125812274009674472005-09-03T22:31:00.000-07:002005-09-03T22:46:16.833-07:00Champion Pinup Number 1Now the book's out its time to share these...<br /><br /><a href="http://static.flickr.com/28/40005321_475ed165fd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/28/40005321_475ed165fd.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This one is by the annoyingly talented Steve Purcell<br /><br />Steve is of course the twisted genius behind 'Sam and Max'.<br />Yes, I mean that brilliant Comic / Computer Game / Animated<br />Series from the mid-nineties.<br /><br />check these out:<br /><a href="http://www.spudvision.com/">www.spudvision.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.samandmax.net/">www.samandmax.net</a>Brave_Sir_Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08615174870463942433noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13733324.post-1125811395511596512005-09-03T22:21:00.000-07:002005-09-03T22:49:00.700-07:00Pulp Fiction<a href="http://static.flickr.com/23/40004069_a9ed0c2db0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/23/40004069_a9ed0c2db0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />another something of mine from the book...Brave_Sir_Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08615174870463942433noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13733324.post-1125807527667321682005-09-03T21:17:00.000-07:002005-09-03T22:05:31.170-07:00Very Very Late Con Photos<a href="http://static.flickr.com/24/39992090_590d632652_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/24/39992090_590d632652_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />After being a bit slack with the postings I finally got around to<br />uploading some Comic Con photos.

Those few who've seen 'Afterworks'<br />so far seem to like it a bunch, which is great.<br />Pixar folks will get a full preview on Monday. Thats quite a<br />daunting 'jury of peers' !!! :-)<br />Then its time to chuck everything in the van and make our way<br />down South. We set up on Wednesday, enjoy preview night, then<br />have a drink or three.<br /><br />I expect this will be my last post prior to the Con as I'll be<br />scrambling around Mon/Tues getting my act together .<br />Including picking up the T Shirts (now in Black, White and Grey!!)<br /><br />Its kinda fun the web stuff, so I will pick it back up in a few<br />weeks, after Con and a short break in Europe.<br /><br />So, thanks very much for checking out the site, it really is much<br />appreciated.

The 'Flashback' stuff<br />(above) was designed to go to a 'not quite black', to resemble<br />a projected image. Whereas the 'present' drops to a full black,<br />thus also making the widescreen panels less defined on those<br />particular pages.<br /><br />Ok..here on the site it seems a little odd, <br />but it works ..I think..in the context of the book:-)Brave_Sir_Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08615174870463942433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13733324.post-1120365437908971872005-07-02T21:32:00.000-07:002005-07-03T13:52:06.196-07:00Is that a 1930's Ipod ?<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3919/1219/1600/controls.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3919/1219/320/controls.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Controls for one of the Champion's devices.
