Hey Guys!

Finally got around to uploading this image to the site.  It was sent to me by Lou Manglass of “Yet Another Webcomic.”  Lou’s been reading the comic for a long time now and I actually got to meet him at PAX East this year for an evening of Beer and Munchkin.  Lou sent me this piece of fan art just after my son was born and I’ve been meaning to get it up on the site for a while.  Either way it’s up now for you all to enjoy!  Also, be sure to check out his site to read his comic and check out his process page and gadgets!

Hey guys! I got some fantastic fan art sent to me today from Thomas Clemmons of www.RobotFriday.com Tom does a daily sketchbook comic that runs the gamut of subject matter from video games, movies and comics to journal comics.  Check out his site for a daily dose of sketches, video tutorials and live drawing feeds!

Hey Guys!

As promised I’m posting some pics of the Nursery Mural I’m doing. I just finished it today and I’m exhausted… unfortunately there is one more to go!!!

Here is the finished product

and here are some detail shots:

and here’s a shot of all the paint and brushes that are getting used on this project!

So last night, I was lucky enough to see the Prince of Persia movie… not that I’m saying it was good… or bad… I have not even gotten to that part of the review yet.  I AM saying that I was lucky to see that instead of seeing the “other movie” that was playing that night.  That “other movie” that my wife and the wife of my friend went to see whilst we weaseled our way into a viewing of a different story.  One with decidedly less open toed, sling back wearing harpies.

I’m just sayin…

So the Prince.  I’m going to start by saying the movie was actually quite good.  It had everything I was hoping for in a Prince of Persia movie.  Action, Humor, Running on the walls…. ugh…. sand… the Prince.  But in all seriousness the Action was really quite good.  Great slow mo moments and the Prince leaping to what would doubtlessly be a lesser man’s doom.  Sword fights and Bandits and freaking crazy ass Hassasins!  Where the movie does fall flat is the exposition.  Every time a piece of plot needed to be explained I groaned… Which included the ending.  I think they could have gone with a subtler, darker ending in which the releasing of the sands of time in such a huge torrent damaged the prince, leaving a subtle scarring that only the princess notices, possibly setting up the dark prince for a future movie… but nope… no such luck.  Speaking of the princess, that was the other downfall of this movie.  Not the actress, but the severe lack of chemistry between the two characters… I felt like every “love interest” moment was forced and completely unnecessary.

Anyway like I said at the beginning of the review, the movie is actually pretty good.  If you want to see something with some pretty good action, go see this movie.  At worst you’ll likely leave the theater thanking yourself for coming up with an excuse not to accompany the wife to… that “other movie”
