Original art detail from Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron by Daniel Clowes. This one page inspired me to write a creepy-noir script. At the time my screen writing professor thought it could win a student Academy Award! Too bad I lost the script when I moved from Chicago to LA.

Could the lost script be found or rewritten and made into a movie???? Stay tuned ...

07. Hooked On Comix: Life On The Cutting Edge Of An All-American Artform

This documentary released in the mid-nineties chronicles the re-birth of the independent comic book movement. These are the people that took the reigns from Crumb, Spain, Harvey Pekar and others to make sure that the independent spirit didn’t crumble or die. Hooked On Comix features interviews with Peter Bagge (Hate Comics), Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), Roberta Gregory (Naughty Bits), Jamie Hernandez (Love And Rockets), and a dozen more major talents in the world of comic books. The interviews are very relaxed and informative as well as very honest.

This film shows the ups and downs of being an indie comic artist not willing to deal with the big two of DC and Marvel. Getting by on talent, gumption and a belief in what they are creating these artists show why they are the future of the medium.

INTRUDER coming to LA?!

I've been talking to Marc Palm to get Intruder into some LA comic books stores. I think it deserves a wider audience and would relish the thought of picking it up locally (yes, I live in LA)!

My entry to The New Yorker caption contest

 
"I'll call you back. I think the litter box is full."

I originally wrote: "Can I borrow a snow shovel? I think the litter box is full." I thought it was a bit wordy, since shorter is usually better (so I hear). We'll see if anyone thinks its funny!
