Tuesday, October 31, 2000Posted by Pete It seems Rich Johnson has a new home at Silver Bullet Comics (whose site refuses to go no-frames and has a silly nav bar, but I won't hold that against them!). 3:03 PM | Posted by Pete Scott McCloud's I Can't Stop Thinking! #4 is finally (out? on?) here. I've set up a wee page of links to all the episodes on this site because the host site doesn't seem to deem them necessary... 2:54 PM | Posted by Pete
Two comics-related weblogs recently found: In a related note, I see the long-running and near mythical Rich's Ramblings appears to have ground to a halt. The world, it doth appear, moves on... 10:50 AM | Posted by Pete I know a load of you cool small press types are secret weird-ass-superhero fans at heart so I feel obliged to pass on theSeanbaby Super Friends Page, from the geniuses who brought you all the Hostess Twinkees ads from the 70's comics. 10:16 AM | Sunday, October 29, 2000Posted by Pete A month back I mentioned on this blog that I had had difficulty finding samples of Darryl Cunningham's work online to show you. I mooted setting up a directory of UK small press cartoonists on this site purely so samples would be there should anyone need to refer to them. The UK Small Press Cartoonists Directory is now online. While it's early days (only 16 creators represented) I will be building it over time and welcome your imput. Unlike some of my web activities this is an achievable project that fills a real need so I don't expect it to slip into obscurity. Honest! 2:58 PM | Saturday, October 28, 2000Posted by Pete New design, implemented throughout the site except in the shop, which I may well be working on soon. This should give you an inkling of the direction I want to take BugPowder, moving it more towards an online community and away from being "Pete's site". Current ideas include replacing this blog with a rolling message board (rather like slashdot) and developing more independent sub-sites (like Andy's link lists). Anyhoo, more later. 12:42 PM | Friday, October 27, 2000Posted by Pete www.kochalka.net. Nuff said. 1:07 PM | Wednesday, October 25, 2000Posted by Pete From Hell banned in Australia. I was thinking of emigrating there one day... Ah well... On a lighter note, production stills from the From Hell movie. 2:48 PM | Sunday, October 22, 2000Posted by Pete There hasn't been a James Kochalka link here for a long time so here's a good un. A three minute film ostensibly titled "Monkey vs Robot which starts with James shouting to someone in building and grinning at the camera. As for the rest, I'm waiting for the download. Two links: The page with the film embedded and the quicktime film on it's own. 5:12 PM | Posted by Pete From Press-Release-Staros at Top Shelf about Strangehaven, one of the selection of comics I sell... Los Angeles production company DAVID LANCASTER PRODUCTIONS aka LANINCO has optioned Gary Spencer Millidge's critically acclaimed and award-winning comic book series STRANGEHAVEN for a potential TV series and motion picture.Whether it'll be any good is not really the point. What matters is that when Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's From Hell was optioned Moore bought a new house and Campbell was able to self publish the collected edition. Gary is now set up to do his comics with no interference, which can only be a good thing. 4:37 PM | Friday, October 20, 2000Posted by Pete I've been researching discussion forums with an eye to setting up something along those lines on BugPowder and had a look at the Indy Comics Mini-comics message board. Would this kinda thing be of interest here? Not necessarily the format of the board but the content. And other than that, it's got some interesting stuff on there. For example, Sean Bieri has a collection of his mini-comic classics out. I may well aquire a copy myself! 3:22 PM | Wednesday, October 18, 2000Posted by Pete Caption 2000 photos are now online, including pictures of Dave Mckinnon initiating me into the Church of the SubGenius. 10:44 AM | Saturday, October 14, 2000Posted by Pete Much musing from myself and others on the future of This Site over on my personal blog which looks like it's about to turn into a forum. 8:56 AM | Posted by Pete Time.com interviews ACME creator Chris Ware in a notable piece. 8:04 AM | Thursday, October 12, 2000Posted by Pete Not much has been appearing on this blog of late. No particular reason why... My personal blog is pretty active though. 4:31 PM | Posted by Pete McCloud's opus/sequel Reinventing Comics gets a nice long review 4:17 PM | Tuesday, October 03, 2000Posted by Pete Today's comic strip is Nigel Auchterlounie's Simon Cat. Enjoy. 12:09 PM | Posted by Pete The ComicArts Foundation is a new "thing" set up by persons unknown that recently came to my attention. They have an online propectus which all seems well and good but no list of members or supporters, which is curious. Unless no-one has joined up yet, I suspect they are keeping their options open and not taking sides, as it were. Interestingly there are no comics on this site. Maybe this again is to keep the field clear, as putting Spiderman on would alienate the alternative crowd and vice versa. More information as it come to light! 10:59 AM | |
