Mewtwo Lemon ~Mewtwo with out Hate~this is for all the weird people that have fallen in love with Mewtwo and need some type of Lemon. ~~Inuwolf For Deila--
-Mewtwo POV-
For the last week I felt that my body was on fire. That nothing could smother the flames inside me. I would fly around a small village that I had taken refuge in, the flights would lesion the fire but it would not end it. Then it happened as I flew over the town I saw her, she was gazing at the stars. I landed in a tree behind her to look at her more closely. Then the wind picked up and blew her hair that twisted in the wind. Her eyes never left the stars that reflected back in her eyes. I was entranced with her; with out my permission my body began to move to her.
-Your POV-
Tonight for some reason I need to be out side, I walked to the forest that lies outside my grandfather house that he left to me. He would always talk to me about the great Mew and the most powerful pokemon Mewtwo. " I wish Mewtwo was here." just the though of Mewtwo always put me at ease. Then the wind picked up and I decide to leave soon as I looked to the stars. Not long after the wind died down that I heard the grass crunch behind me. I stood to face my intruder to only see that it was what I wanted the most. "Mewtwo?" there he was in all his power looking at me.
I never thought that Mewtwo would ever be here, but as I stared at him, his eyes where filled with something, it frightened me. He soon was in front of me only a few inches seriated us. He towered over me and his eyes never left me they seemed to hypnotize me. He was fast but what he did stun me he was kissing me. The kiss was deep and passionate. Then the world around me fuzzed out when I pulled away I noticed that his eyes never left mine, we were also back in my room. I was afraid that he was going to do something to me. He eyes finally left mine and when to my arm then to my shoulder on to my neck. I couldn't move my body wouldn't let me, then his hand ran up my arm over my shoulder to my neck to the back of my head. Then the rapped his other around my waist then kissed me again. His lips on mine felt so good like a first kiss that will never end. Mewtwo began to kiss your neck tenderly; I couldn't help but moan as his soft lips caresses my neck, his hand ran up the back of my shirt and unhooked my bra. Slowly he began to remove my t-shirt without leaving my neck. I couldn't help but caress his silky white fur "be ready." he whispers in my ear.
Mewtwo laid me on to the bed as he removed my bra; he was hovering over me now. He stares at my breast and with one hand he grabs one and play with the pink nipple making it erect, I moan with pleasure. He smirked and started sucking on them. You gasped but decided to let him continue. He relished my nipple and kissed my lips demanding for entrance, I part my lips and sense his tongue enter my mouth exploring every crevice of it, unknowingly me, I began to rock my hips against his, making Mewtwo moan. Mewtwo move back way from my lips, his eyes now fixed once more on me. He looked down to my pants and began to remove them along with my underwear. Mewtwo stood above me and I could see him again this time I could see his manhood or pokemonhood there and ready for what was next. But this was what I wanted I had always loved the stories of Mewtwo and I fell for him. He was hovering over me again and then he trusted into me. I clawed at the sheets of the bed and moaned. I almost screamed, as he pumped into me really hard. But, I didn't because he kissed you, He stayed in me till I got used to the size. The pain soon went and it was replaced by waves of pleasure. He hit my 'G-spot' almost every time. I soon found myself moaning for him to go faster and harder. He happily agreed. Soon, I hit my climax, but Mewtwo kept going, moaning as my walls milked his throbbing member. Soon after, I felt him release his seeds in side my most vide spot. His member was still inside me as he kissed me harder and with lust and he pulled out, I looked up to him and could see that he was still hard.
I nodded to him and he kissed me as he flipped me on to all four's and without any warning he enters me hard, he has his hands on my hips but he moves them to my breasts and pinches the nipples making me moan harder "Ah! It hurts." I moan, " It'll feel better." while he pump into me softer. You both were sweaty and breathing heavy. I clawed into the bed as the pumps got faster and harder. Later I could feel his warm, white seed spill into me again. You moaned a little louder than before. I knew inside that he need more but his body was getting tired as I gained some energy. I rolled him over on to his back as
I mount on top of him sliding his manhood in me slowly, feeling his entire member in me I let out a sigh of pleasure. Then I began to move up and down letting his hard manhood goes out of me to the tip and then introducing it all in again, I repeated my motions for a while as he begins to suck on my nipples. I was almost to my climax as was Mewtwo. A couple minutes later, he cumed deep inside, all I could do was moan and he groaned deeply in his chest. I collapsed onto Mewtwo's chest. I could hear his rapid heartbeat. He stroked my hair as our bodies dripped with sweat, and I feel His fluids in me, he sighs and kiss my neck softly while I caress his back slowly, and I kiss the top of his soft fur covered head. He laid his head on my chest caressing it slowly and he wrapped his tail around me, as we fall asleep in each other arms.

Dorothy Parker the famous literary wit once observed,
"I never met a deadline I couldn't miss." Most of us can't afford to be so
blasé about deadlines. At work (and in life) deadlines exist for a reason and
are expected to be met. If you find yourself repeatedly missing deadlines despite
your best intentions we have some helpful tips.
Care: To meet a deadline you have to care
about the deadline. Really care. Make the deadline a priority and you've taken
the most important step in meeting it.
Organize: Once you've committed to a
deadline, keep track of it. Have a calendar or a running list of deadlines and
dates and check it daily. A daily check-in keeps you on track and ensures you
won't inadvertently overlook a due date.
Define: The deadline's when? Make sure you are
on the same page as your boss or client. Be as specific as possible (i.e. don't
say sometime next week, or early next month.) Ambiguity has the potential to
leave one party feeling shortchanged.
Bite Size Pieces: Estimate how long the entire project
will take and then break it into smaller pieces. Giving yourself smaller deadlines
for each piece will help you stay on track.
Build a Cushion: This is for you procrastinators.
Okay, it's actually for everybody. Building in a cushion helps you meet
deadlines by allowing leeway to accommodate unforeseen delays.
Step by Step: You know what they say about the journey
of a thousand miles. Just take that first step and then keep on going. Focus on
that first step and don't worry about the rest until it's time for Step 2 and
so on.
Be Realistic: When it's time to tackle a specific step, make sure
you're realistic about how much time it will take. And make that time sacrosanct;
treat it like a cannot-miss appointment.
Don't Over Commit: Just say no to taking on unrealistic
assignments. If
you cannot commit to finishing a project on time, don't take it on.
Pull Out the Stops: Maybe you underestimated the time a
job needed, or perhaps you procrastinated. Now is the time to do whatever it
takes to finish on time. Stay up late, work weekends. Do what it takes.
Never Again: If your best efforts to make a deadline still fail, take
time to analyze what went wrong and assess how you can prevent future such
How do you stick to deadlines? Do you think
missing a deadline reflects poorly on someone? Share your thoughts here and on

Just as you prefer privacy when taking care of your personal needs, so does your cat. This is why it's very important to place the litter box in a location that's out of the way yet easily accessible for your cat [source: Petco]. But just like people, each cat has its own preferences and, being a finicky creature by nature, may change its mind some day. If you chose a good spot that your cat liked, but it suddenly seems to be avoiding its litter box, a new location may be in order. Relocating a litter box takes some thought and planning.
Here are some guidelines and suggestions about how to relocate your cat's litter box:
- Place litter boxes at various locations at the same time.
- Place one litter box in a spot where your cat can see anyone approaching.
- Place the litter box in a place with more than one avenue of escape so your cat can make quick getaway if it feels anxious or threatened.
- Place the litter box in a location that is inaccessible to children and/or other animals that could frighten your cat.
Sometimes cats develop an aversion to the litter and not the litter box. Using a different kind of litter than the one you used previously, may solve your problem. For example, use one with a different texture or scent (or no scent). Fill the box with 1 or 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of new litter [source: ASPCA].

Q&A: I'm expecting to lose my mucus plug soon, but don't know what it looks like.
I'm nearing my due date and I've heard that when you lose your mucus plug it's a sign you're near delivery. What exactly does a mucus plug look like?
At one time losing your mucus plug (also called "bloody show") was considered a sign of imminent labor, but doctors have discovered it's not that reliable at all. You could go hours, days, even weeks before delivery day. Some women don't even notice when they lose their mucus plug.
As the name implies, a mucus plug is a slightly gooey, sometimes stringy, clear glop (sorry I can't come up with a better description). The plug may be streaked with blood or slightly pink—that's normal.
The American Pregnancy Association (APA) points out the very important function of the mucus plug, which is to "[block] the opening of the cervix to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus" during pregnancy. As you near delivery, the cervix will begin to dilate and thin so that your baby can make her way through the birth canal. Losing the mucus plug is part of that process of getting ready for delivery.
If you discover clear fluid, instead of sticky mucus, you may be seeing amniotic fluid instead of the mucus plug. You should contact your health care provider right away if you suspect you're leaking amniotic fluid. Otherwise, you can probably wait until you're regularly scheduled prenatal visit to let your provider know about losing your plug.

It was a career year for DeMarco Murray, who had his best season yet. It's his third season and he posted his first 1,000 yard season. The future looks bright for the young Cowboys running back. This season he showed off his ability and talent and it looks like he's just getting started. Murray had a good season, but I still think he can do better. If the stars align, the Cowboys have themselves a superstar in DeMarco Murray.
Let's be honest, any running back can get a 1,000 yard season if they get enough carries for it. Peyton Hillis in 2010 had a 1,000 yard season and at the time he looked good. A few seasons later and he's an irrelevant backup. I'm not trying to take away from Murray's season. Instead I want to point out that Murray managed to rush for 1,121 yards with only 217 carries. He managed to average an impressive 5.2 yards per carry. Murray was underutilized this season. Out of all running backs with at least 150 carries, Murray has the highest yards per carry. Murray was an efficient runner beating out elite running backs such as LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, and Adrian Peterson. I'd be insane to say that Murray is just as good as those names, but the numbers don't lie. Murray ran more efficiently than them.
To most sane football fans, no one would think Murray was as good as McCoy, Charles, or Peterson. My sanity is perfectly intact, and I realize that Murray is good but not elite. I do believe that Murray was very close to breaking out as an elite running back this season. There was one thing holding him back, the playcalling. Murray averages only 15.5 carries per game. This is good for seventeenth in the NFL, which is decent. However when you're averaging 5.2 yards per carry, I think you deserve more carries. Murray was a top ten rusher this season, but he did not get the carries that a top ten running back would. I truly believe that if Murray gotten more carries, everyone would have noticed the amazing season he had.
If Murray had more carries, he would have been considered one of the best in the 2013 season. However he didn't. There is also the chance that more carries would lead to more injury for Murray. Or that his yards per carry will go down. With the way Murray played, I think he deserved more chances. Next year, the Cowboys will really need to rethink how they will use Murray. While he may be injury prone, the Cowboys may have an elite running back on their hands.

How much did former UGA defensive tackles Geno Atkins and Jeff Owens help themselves at the Senior Bowl?
So much that they possibly could become late first-round picks in this year's NFL draft, according to Russ Lande, a former NFL scout who evaluates players for Sporting News.
Both Owens and Atkins were identified by Lande "and his team of former NFL scouts" among seven players who helped their draft stock at the Senior Bowl.
Writing in today's edition of Sporting News Today, Lande said Atkins' strong performance will move him into the second round of the draft and, if sustained in spring workouts, could get him into the bottom of the first round. Owens, Lande writes, was considered "a likely third- or fourth-round pick" before the Senior Bowl practices and game but is now seen "as a definite second-rounder, with a good chance to move into the first round."
It was a week of good reviews for Atkins and Owens in Mobile. A few days ago, Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano — coach of the South squad for the Senior Bowl — was quoted in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on the UGA DT tandem: "They're both certainly high-energy guys that play with great fundamentals. Really are fundamentally very, very good. Do a super job that way. I enjoy watching those kind of guys play that play with that kind of energy, run around pretty well, give you fits up front offensively, show good strength at the point of attack, those type of things. They're a handful for some of those linemen. They've done a nice job this week so far."
Here's the full analysis on Atkins from Sporting News' Lande:
Atkins (6-1, 286) came to Mobile viewed as an undersized lineman who would struggle matching up against much bigger NFL guards. But after an excellent week of practice and a strong showing in the game, we are confident he has eliminated those doubts.
He consistently showed the rare quickness and explosiveness to shoot gaps and blow up plays in the backfield. As a smaller tackle, he shocked many NFL people with his strength against much bigger blockers. Atkins' strong Senior Bowl will move him into the second round. If he can sustain his performance in spring workouts, he could move into the bottom of the first round.
And on Owens:
Owens did not have a dominant college season in his return from a season-ending knee injury in 2008. As a result, NFL people wondered if he would ever get back to being the player he was before the injury. Owens erased many of those concerns by shining at Mobile.
He dominated at the point of attack with strength, hand use and the explosiveness to jolt blockers. But what grabbed the NFL's attention most was Owens' ability to beat one-on-one pass blocks with very quick pass-rush moves. Before the Senior Bowl, Owens was considered a likely third- or fourth-round pick. Now, he is viewed as a definite second-rounder, with a good chance to move into the first round.

I dont think this news comes as a surprise to many UGA fans. Both of these guys can be dominant. I know of all the negative press that our Dawgs have received in recent times but if your folks would spend a little time looking at that 08 team that was just blistered with injury you will find that winning as many games as we did that year was quite an achievement in itself. 09 brought us Joe for his senior year and he proved on somewhat of an incosistant basis that he was not up for a premeir SEC QB performance (he did have a few bright spots). We obviously had no one behind him. I don't think either of the freshman could have jumped in and got the job done (didnt know the offense well enough) and Logan was apparently not someone Richt felt comfortable with in the position. If he had, there sure was plenty of opportunity for him to have stepped in. I believe that was stricktly due to playing a position that is not best for Logan. The Dawgs are going to be better this year then most think. We too have some redshirts that can play some ball and some experience that can compete at a top level. The new DC will be a welcome change to fans that just want to see their defense "get after it" as they have done in the past. I think most of us would be very receptive to being burned every now and then if just did not play those corners soft and put intense pressure on the QB. It's coming. You take that type of defense coupled with a decent OL, probaby 6 receivers that are NFL caliber, 2 or 3 running backs that will not fall short at Tailback U. and a QB with a good head on his shoulders that will not make silly mistakes……..by golly…I think we have a team that will not lose more than 2. Just my opionion…..but we are loaded with talent in key positions…….Heck..I think most UGA fans would agree that we have not put together a complete game against an upper tier team in a couple of years. Go Dawgs!!

Way to go guys!
Bad news about Tebow, he apparently had the WORST showing at Senior Bowl and is now condiered UNDRAFTABLE by BOTH ESPN experts.
Georgia continues to get guys ready for the NFL. Georgia has more players in the NFL than Florida, LSU, Bama, or USC.

I guess that is a good response to the crazy talk about our strength program. The boards have to many trouble makers from other schools on UGA sites.

Techies have commented on here in recent days about the lack of talent that comes from UGA into the NFL. What idiots. UGA consistently puts talented players in the NFL and that certainly can't hurt in the minds of those on the fence just before signing day. We will have a great signing class and with the restructuring of our coaching staff may finally be at the level we have expected in recent years.
January 31st, 2010
2:58 pm
Great link, Pipeline. You could put together a pretty good team with that list of names.
I'm excited for next season, and am looking forward to big things out of the Dawgs. I think that our team talent, fresh coaching perspective and an SEC East that's up for grabs, we'll be in a much better bowl next year.
January 31st, 2010

2 DTs that will go no later than round 2 from a defense that was terrible. Wonder why?
January 31st, 2010
3:34 pm
I have not been one to harp about our S&C program, but I do think we need to increase the emphasis on conditioning. I don't doubt that the strength part is necessary in today's college football, especially in the SEC, but I feel that if conditioning is not "up there", any team will have a problem with injuries. I feel that a greater number of injuries occur when players are tired, and we certainly have seemed to be bitten by the injury bug in recent years. It seems to me that conditioning is even more important now that strength is such a big factor.
January 31st, 2010
3:35 pm
These 2 players were decent, but not dominant.
My opinion on j.o. is MAYBE low 2nd or high to mid 3rd round at best.
Question, how many sacks did he have?
Was play on keystone cops defense causing him to not play to his potential.
I know he got hurt the year before but seemed like a under-achiever.
As for g.a. , he should have had more penetration and more QB hurries and a few more sacks.
my opionion on where he will land would be similar to j.o.
Curran may be your best player coming out, although a small LB.
This is my take on this story, as an outsider.
Trying to be sincere, STILL L M F A O

Everyone who blogs should take notice and understand how someone with another fielty can come on our sites, say something lukewarm or better about the Dawgs and then lead you on a merry ride down the road to team negativity. Heads up!, chumps. You are being played by others because you don't read widely and understand your team. If you have no personal faith in our staff and players over the last few years then you are A target for these rival bloviators. If you have nothing good to contribute then stay off the comments section. You add to the knives cutting at our spirit in order for others to gain the upper hand over our program. Don't be stupid and fall for it! Add positive comments to discussion of your team. The negative commentors are NOT UGA fans and your positive comments can help chase them to other team sites to influence fans who don't know or appreciate what they have.
Championships are something attained slowly and consistently with hard work by the staff and team as well as positive upwelling of support by us fans when events don't go well. Accept the fact that team members feel worse than anyone when bad things happen and go from there. Sounds like we have some tough Dawgs signing up in the next few days and they ,as well as current players signing last year and the years before, need our support for what is offered and delivered on the UGA field of play. GO DAWGS! WOOF!, WOOF!, WOOF!. This should be a good year.

Attitude and a competitive, tough nature, fueled by personal desire to compete at the highest SEC levels have been missing on UGA's defense for a few years now. Certainly since BVG's departure is this true. CWM simply could not/did not get the players to play with attitude and aggression. Against a Florida or a Bama, they played simply to not lose and look what happened in 08 with Bama and in 08,09 with Florida. This will change with the arrival of CTG and it will be very obvious to all. UGA's schedule will ALSO help them get better.
UGA looked aggressive in the tech game but that was a function of tech being just a lousy, sissy ACC team and not so much what or how UGA's d played. Reshad JOnes for one, did play far better than he did in 08 s Tech and in 09, his play helped UGA seal what was a sure thing anyway. Had the Georgia tacklers made LOCK UP tackles rather than arm tackling, they would have won also in 08. In fact, 08 vs Tech was about to become a major blow out but arm tackling caused uGA to lose that one. 1-8 is how it stands anway and all but the most casual Yech? UGA observers know that Georgia CONTROLS THIS STATE.
Wow …………..Tebow is about to be a fullback, Anyone see the Senior Bowl? He is toast as a QB. He will be fabulous in the NFL as a fullback.
Go Dogs.

I can understand the concern for a player coming back from an injury, but if these kids did so much better than anticipated at the practice and game than anticipated, does that mean that they were poorly coached/utilized while playing at UGA these past few seasons? It didn't make sense that both of them did so much better than expected. They obviously had the physical tools to be successful, and they obviously learned some techniques quickly, so the kids are also bright.

"Georgia continues to get guys ready for the NFL. Georgia has more players in the NFL than Florida, LSU, Bama, or USC."
But Florida, LSU, Bama, or USC have won multiple mythical National Championships since the curdawgs last mythical NC in 1980, thirty long years ago since they have players that function as a team…not individuals!

Well, I'm back,where do I start.
I still believe way too much talent has come and gone through mutt-town, an abundance of UNDERACHIEVERS that had they gone elsewhere would have realized their full potential.
Attending Coachdown University cost them DEARLY, make no mistake about it.
There may have been a few that went on to the NFL, bot honestly, how many start and how many are reserves or on taxi squad?
Kinda comical if you ask me.

To everybody complaining about no NC's with this talent. Remember that a NC is determined by the BCS nonsense. Most of the time it requires alot of luck. Look it up if you don't believe me. The last 10 years UGA has put together teams in 3 seasons that could compete with anybody. Unfortunately luck has not been on our side yet. But one thing is for sure UGA, has been pretty darn consistent the last 10 years, sooner or later luck will be on our side and lookout.

So much for "not being coached up" while at UGA. Look at what Tech did with a similiar player in Daryl RIchard. Chose Tech over Miami and LSU and will forever regret that.

Ole dawg and Chuydawg….great posts.
Agree with both. It's hard for me to take the Rose Colored Dawg glasses off, but even outside observers would have to admit (as the NFL scouts have) Jeff Owens and Geno Atikins are Sunday Ready.
One thing, through the thick and thin, I love about all DAWG teams under CMR….they never quit. I see nothing but upward movement in 2010 and beyond. Harness that killer instinct and the sky is the limit. Personally, I believe we're just starting to hit our stride!!!
Go Dawgs and God Bless!

Does Louie go to tek,or is he still in the third grade?
Louie, I think I would slap my momma and daddy for putting a name like that on me.
They could of at least named you Chandler or Cameron or Otis or something.
Anything but Louie. These people will chew you up and spit you out on this Big Boy site.
Change your name, use one of the above if you like.
You will get a little more respect, ok little fellow.

The Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization are allowing left-handed pitcher Ryu Hyun-Jin the opportunity to test the waters and sign with a Major League Baseball team. Hyun-Jin could sign as early as next season. Ryu is known for his control over his fastball, changeup and slider and the ability to strikeout opposing batters.
In the KBO, Ryu led the league in strikeouts five different seasons.
Ryu initially caught the eyes of MLB scouts after leading South Korea to a gold medal victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Hyun-Jin also led his nation to a runner-up finish at the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
In an effort to maximize his worth, the pitching prospect has signed super agent Scott Boras. The 25-year-old lefty expressed his thanks to the Hanwha Eagles for the opportunity to join the big leagues.
"I'd like to thank the Eagles from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be posted, which is the first step toward reaching the major leagues," he said. "Hanwha has helped me develop into the pitcher that I am today. I'd like to reach the big leagues and return the love of all my fans with good performances."
Ryu joined the KBO in 2006, when he was selected second-overall. He wasted no time earning a reputation on the mound and earned MVP and the Rookie of the Year honors during that season. During that impressive rookie season,Ryu struck out 204 batters, which is a KBO record.
When the bidding war begins, expect MLB teams to go crazy. The Texas Rangers made a record bid of $51.7 million for Japanese right-hander Yu Darish. While Ryu will likely not receive that high of a bid, the MLB clubs will be very interested in his services.

nate powell's lengthy and intriguing four-part interview
September 17, 2008 / More →
with Brian Heater has wrapped at Daily Cross Hatch.
And speaking of Nate, geez, does this guy ever sleep? He just launched a smashing new website.
• In the better-late-than-never category, after what seems like years, i've finally found a day to pour over a ton of convention purchases, submissions, and what have you that have been piling up. A book Rex, by Danijel Zezelj was in the mix. I've read some of this guy's short form material in anthologies here and there. I thought it was o.k. but not so much as to live up to the hype. Well this sucker is like a fucking roundhouse kick to the face, pumping with high energy jams. And his art here seems MUCH more nuanced... a better use of grey tones that what i've seen before. Big thanks to publisher Jason Thibault at Optimum Wound comics for the hook-up.
• Our Top Shelf pals at Grass Hut are fishing for an intern. These cats are as cool as it comes, let me tell you. (Two weekends ago i attended a terrific opening for the brilliant L.A. based artist Andrew Brandou. Local Southern-style restaurant Screen Door made waffles peach-foster style... i thought i'd died and gone to heaven.)
Join the Grass Hut family. Be a part of an art movement bigger then the individuals involved. Learn the hands on nitty gritty skills to run an independent art market.
-Work with artists from Portland and all over the world.
-See how a tiny business handles international business.
-Understand DIY art marketing byway of street cred.
-Practice basic graphic design (website, postcards, posters)
-Have fun.
-Use the studio to paint and drawl.
To learn more simply contact Bwana Spoons or Justin "Scrappers" Morrison. Grass Hut (Art Market). 811 E. Burnside. Portland, Oregon. (503) 445-9924.
• Max Estes sure is staying busy, and cranking out choice pieces of art. Go. Buy.
• Veeps gets reviewed in the new issue of webmag, Comics Waiting Room, and at Omnivoracious too.

• Steve Lafler has been painting like a fiend! Check it out!
• Here's a nifty little movie from Grass Hut.
• A tip of the hat to Benton Jew (one half of the outstanding and criminally underrated Jew Bros.) for the lead on his blog about the vintage Space Ghost dvd set, which features a documentary on the legendary Alex Toth. The doc isn't perfect by any means (cheesy effects, maudlin music, etc.), but it was a wonderful window into one of comics' masterminds. Well worth watching.
• Previews Picks for the month of September. (If it's not too late to make a difference.)
-Land of the Giants lunchbox. I saw one of these at San Diego, and man are they cool.
-Vintage illustration lovers (like myself) should be palpitating with the news of two forthcoming hardcovers; monographs for Norman Sounders and Reynold Brown.
-TwoMorrows continues with two more creator spotlights in their Modern Masters series. And while i only have roughly half of the series thus far, i will indeed be picking up the new ones featuring Mike Ploog and Kyle Baker.
-Sweet! The Adventures of Tintin, Hardcover Boxed Set!
-Stan's Soapbox. Verily, True Believers, all of Stan Lee's hyperbolic editorials from the late 60s and 70's in under one cover! I freaking lapped these up as a kid... Kudos!
-Fuzz & Pluck: Splitsville, by Ted Stearn. (Fantagraphics.)
Well, this series took forever and a day to be completed, but this great book is well worth the wait. Awesome awesome stuff.
-OMFG! The complete Blazing Combat Hardcover! Holy crap, this is great news! Also, from the fine folks at Fantagraphics.
-The Venice Chronicles hardcover, by Enrico Casarosa. (AdHouse Books.) I've had the pleasure of reading this, and it's gorgeous! Buy this book.
-Rejoice!! The second mammoth oversized slipcased hardcover of Kirkman, Adlard, and Rathburn's Walking Dead is coming. One of the greatest comics of all time. Serously.

Now that both Obama and McCain have announced their VP picks, the media are stuck on 'em 24/7... but we know a couple of guys who have been Veep-crazy since Sarah Palin was modeling swimwear!
The hilariously cynical Bill Kelter, author of the upcoming Top Shelf book Veeps: Profiles in Insignificance, has been blogging up a storm over at www.veeps.us. Meanwhile his partner in crime, Wayne Shellabarger, has whipped up two more killer portraits in the style of the 46 that appear throughout Veeps, celebrating the nominations of Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. Check 'em out!
Veeps is scheduled to hit in late October... just in time for the election (and 47th Veep)!
September 4, 2008
• Well Bill, Wayne and myself are back from the Denver location shoot on Road to Insignificance, the film about the life & times of Veeps author's Bill Kelter and Wayne Shellabarger. And while we didn't get to attend any actual events, the streets were alive with activity.
With principle shooting wrapped, i'm now totally stoked to see a rough cut of this baby, although editing won't begin until November. We've been playing this close to the vest somewhat, and as a straight documentary, but it's bound to come out sooner than later that while the core of Bill and Wayne's friendship is the real deal, we're straying from the truth in this film. Oh, and i'm the director.
Meanwhile, Bill made yet another guest appearance a few days ago on KPOJ, the Air America affiliate here in Portland. Awesome!
• Top Shelf 2.0 contributor Joe Decie put up this terrific strip on Webcomics Nation.
• James Kochalka did this freaky fun Fantastic Four page (issue #9, page 17) on commission.
• Peter Kuper is editing the next issue of WW3. I do believe it's a wordless issue. This stunning Eric Drooker cover boggles, as his covers always do.
• Rich Koslowski informs me that Top Shelf is well-represented in a new book called 500 Essential Graphic Novels, by old Top Shelf friend Gene Kannenberg, Jr.
The following Top Shelf books made the cut:
• THREE FINGERS in the "Fantasy" category (Rich Koslowski)
• BOX OFFICE POISON & TRICKED "general fiction" (Alex Robinson)
• GOODBYE CHUNKY RICE "general fiction" & BLANKETS "non-fiction" (Craig Thomspon)
• HEY MISTER "humor" (Pete Sickman-Garner)
• HUTCH OWEN "humor" (Tom Hart)
• LOST GIRLS "general fiction" (Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie)
• MONKEY VS ROBOT "humor" (James Kochalka)
• OWLY "adventure" (Andy Runton)
• SAME DIFFERENCE "general fiction" (Derek Kirk Kim)
• Besides that his work kicks serious quantities of ass, Nate Powell is every publishers dream. He arranged and schedule the following promotional tout in support of the forthcoming Swallow Me Whole, AND is designing and producing a 2-color screenprinted poster for this as well. Here is his tour schedule, and a rough design for the poster.
9/26: gallery show, Sweet Hickory, Bloomington IN (featuring pages from SMW and other stuff)

I've been very VERY busy as of late, so apologies for the long wait between updates. I've been following a documentary film crew around, which is making a film about Bill Kelter and Wayne Shellabarger, the authors of our very own non-fiction history book, Veeps: Profiles in Insignificance. It's been a great deal of fun and i'm having a terrific time, but wow am i exhausted. I have a brand new appreciation for filmmaking, and how hard these crew members work. We'll try and get a teaser and/or trailer for the film up soon. Working title — Road to Insignificance.
And speaking of Bill Kelter, his and Wayne's book just got some more props on nothing less than the uber-wonky Congressional Quarterly!
• Meanwhile, old pal and wonderful cartoonist Josue (Broken Fender) Menjivar got some ink for his more recent work at Pretty Fakes. Check out Josue's site Fresh Brewed Illustration.
• I don't read Spanish, but i did receive an email from an outfit in Spain called Polaqia, i think via an aquaintance name Kike Benlloch. These covers for some new comics sure looks swell though.
• Marc Mason of Comics Waiting Room interviews Jeff Lemire at ComiCon!
• James Kochalka's nifty new American Elf ad for an upcoming issue of The Comics Journal.
• More Pat Moriarity goodness:
"Here's where you can get the brand new Crustacean Records double DVD featuring my package design, poster, and a 10 minute video featurette about me, plus about 5 HOURS of high quality video footage of killer midwest rock acts. (Bands like MAD TRUCKER GONE MAD, AWESOME SNAKES, THE SKINTONES, DRUNK DRIVERS, LADY BEARD and more.)
• Scott Campbell is a busy busy man. You can see his work in three different shows. Here. Here. And here.
• And finally, i saw that the Swedish anthology we're doing sub-distro for (From the Shadow of Northern Lights) hit stands yesterday. Great stuff. Check it out!
post-san diego crush... so much to do.

• Veeps writer Bill Kelter scores a piece on the front page of Politico! Sweet!
Then, on the same day he was interviewed on Portland's Progressive Talk Radio, KPOJ with Carl Wolfson.
Shooting starts next week on the documentary being made about Bill and Veeps illustrator Wayne Shellabarger, with (YIKES!) me at the helm. Oh, and speaking of which, Bill's co-worker Bill Lovejoy sent me this image recently. What the fu?@!!!
• Tom Spurgeon's 50-Plus thoughts about ComiCon 2008.
• I scored some great shit at San Diego this year, rabid fanboy that i am. Krazy & Ignatz 1935-1944 by Chris Ware, from Fantagraphics. I couldn't find a link to this on their site, nor an image for it, but this is the second mammoth volume of reprints and it's insanely gorgeous. Even more so, however, is the French edition collecting the entirely of the classic crime series Torpedo by Abuli, Bernet and Toth. My French isn't particularly great, but holy crap this is one of the most impressive all-in-one collections i've ever held in my sweaty little paws. Richard Starkings gave me the terrific, lush Art of Ladronn hardcover. His editorial is an inspirational account of how he met Ladronn working together on the (still fun) Cable comic years ago, and ended up giving him free reign to do comics as he sees fit, in his own time. Yes, the timetable has been glacially slow, but as i was then compelled to buy the first two hardcover Hipflask collections of three, the results are sooooooooo worth the wait. Dizzyingly beautiful. I got so much more, which i'll mention soon, but for this update, i also scored two more awesome hardcover art books: Michael Golden's Heroes & Villians, published by Little Eva Ink, and Retroactive: Darwyn Cooke 1998 - 2008, published by BrandStudio Press. Two of my favorite cartoonist. Two bitchin' books. (Now we just need an Art Adams hardcover to round out the list.)
Oh yeah, and one of the inserts in the Con Bags was this funny-as-hell Watchmen parody, courtesy of Mad Magazine.
• Jed McGowen's lush strip Ritual of the Savage is now up on Top Shelf 2.0. And it rocks! Meanwhile, here's a piece of fan art Jed received by Teemu Matinlauri. This too shall rock.
• Indigo Kelleigh, best known as the founder of the Stumptown Comics Fest here in Portland, is also a great cartoonist. He's just launched a new strip called Ms. Ellie Connelly. He rocked my world years ago with his air-tight mini-series Chutney Point, and so far this looks as good or better. Good to see you back, Indy!
• My longtime friend Dave Vlasaty (we met on the crew team back at University of Oregon back in the day), just road tripped to the tip of Baja with his kick-ass sons Aiden and Angus... oh, and Owly!!!
• Last but not least, Calling All Aspiring Animators!... Top Shelf is looking for cheap talent who will work for lots and lost of free comics to help us build some animated trailers for various projects. Must already dig Top Shelf (otherwise, i mean.. what's the point, right?) and be serious and committed. There's no paycheck involved, but really we do take care of our family.

• This showed up in my po box a while back, and i just got around to reading it... what a stunner. Clearly a loving Frankenstein homage with nods to comics of old and stuff like Warren's Monster's of Filmland, this oversized comic is a real formal masterpiece. The art is multi-media collage pasted up on newspapers. The look feels gritty and intense, and the narrative is a wild pop-culture tour de force. Great stuff.
• Mr. Max Estes has some cool new stuff available at Made by Max.
• Heads-up from Vancouver cartoonist, and Top Shelf 2.0 contributor Don King, who tipped me off to a terrific sounding show in Vancouver, B.C.
• Had this terrific submission-envelope art hanging in my workshop for forever... figured i show it to the world.
• I've been dipping into my enormous to-read pile a little lately. Standouts include:
Eschew #1 (mini-comic), by Robert Sergel. Apparently this guy has been making comics for a long long time, yet i'd never heard of him until he sent me this mini. And it's really solid. Using a "clear-line" style, the work i've read is of the shorter, poetic style, more than long narratives. In any case, one could spend days reading the plethora of comics he has on his website. So get to it, people!
I lifted this comic from his website.
Nerd Burglar (comic), Free Comic Book Day book by Tugboat Press, Teenage Dinosaur, and Sparkplug Comics. A potpourri of comics fun, this puppy feature's an awesome twisted story by legendary punk cartoonist Bobby Madness and an appearance by the always-good-to-see and sadly underrated ink stud Chris Cilla. What really rocked me though, was a strip called "Fifteen Variations on The First Day We Met," by Sarah Oleksyk, which plays with formalism to wonderful effect. Too hard to describe, i recommend you just order this book. It costs one penny, plus postage, cheap-wads!!
• From comics cognoscenti Craig Yoe:
"Yo, Comix Fan!
"I'm joining the San Diego Zoo, i.e. the San Diego ComicCon. I'll be signing my new books Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings and Comic Arf, and I'll be on some panels."

Hey LEAGUE fans!
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly just hit the stands. It looks like THIS:
And inside is the FIRST-EVER look at THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN (VOL. III): CENTURY (published by Top Shelf in 2009)!
Here's a tiny version -- for a better look, you gotta buy the mag!
Holy crapola, Batman...

It's been years since i last updated here. My bad. Catching up.
• First, Slovenian-produced anthology Stripburger #47 arrived in my po box last week, and it's a beauty. While many of the essays are in the native language, the comics themselves are all in English, and they are ample. The whole affair kicks off with a stunning wraparoud cover and lead feature and interview with French cartoonist Matthias Lehmann. Other standouts include Filipe Abranches (Portugal), Marcelo D'Salete (Brazil), Bendik Kaltenborn (Norway)Thomas Vielle (France), Mawil (Germany), and Gunnar Lundkvist (Sweden).
One of their best issues in a long while, this issue is really worth tracking down. Ostensibly Top Shelf is the North American distributor, but i just looked, and i don't see anything on our site. I'll look into this and get back.
• Merry Mike Dawson (Freddie and Me) sent me a link to a terrific new strip, title "Max, Get Out of My Room!" What happens when super-powered tween brothers get in a fight? Read on...
• Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko. Wow wow wow wow!!!! Author Blake Bell actually pitched this book to Top Shelf several years ago, and i just couldn't get Chris (Staros) interested in backing me in my desire to pick it up. I was bummed, but that is the nature of our partnership, so i let it go. Having ravenously devoured this book, and reading the author's notes on the evolution of it's development, this is probably a good thing. The content and narrative thrust changed radically. Moreover, the design by Fantagraphics designer Adam Grano is astonishing.
It's a wonderful companion volume to the recent Kirby! coffee-table art book. Except that where that book mostly regurgitated information about Kirby and his work that has been around for years, the wealth of information regarding Ditko's background and the analysis of his life's work, in Bell's book, make for an engaging and riveting read, covering ground virtually unknown heretofore. I want to pull it off the shelf and start reading it over again already.
I will state right now, that this book will easily end the calendar year 2008 in my Top Five books of the year, if not Number One. Very highly recommended.
• How cool is this cover art for our (as yet unannounced) one-shot by Top Shelf 2.0 contributor Brecht Evens. The book is titled Night Animals. More on this soon.
• Totally not comics, but incredibly cool. I was tipped off to an amazing video of (from the website) "world-renowned kayakers following the banks of Africa's White Nile River with one mission: to discover uncharted whitewater."
A spine-tingling short film, made by the writer of the article Aaron Retting, can be linked to at Flux magazine. (A student magazine of my alma mater, University of Oregon.)

Ink-stud extraordinaire Steve Lafler writes:
"Just a heads up -- my new book TRANNY: Boys Will Be Girls is in the current Diamond Previews catalog on Page 330 (listed with Sparkplug Comic books). Now is the time to pester your favorite comics retailer to order the book!"
• Things i scored at MoCCA and am just now getting around to dive into:
Love/Pain by the artist named Ephameron, published by Bries. Not comics, but rather, wonderful and beautiful drawings, photos, portraits and what have you, in a terrific hardcover package. Sublime. The artist was actually working the Bries table (in place of our old pal Ria Schulpen, who wasn't there for the first time in many years), so i got a wonderful drawing inside as well.
- Skyscrapers of the Midwest, collected hardcover, by Josh Cotter. Published by AdHouse.
Awesome. I have to admit that black humor in comics is pretty hit or miss for me. Some of the more misanthropic ones are just plain juvenile or creepy as fuck. On the other hand, in the hands of some — like Ivan Brunetti — self-loathing has never been more raging with humanity. Enlightenment through hitting rock bottom and rolling in the muck.
Josh Cotter is something different altogether. Dark as it gets, but the humor is wacky and dare i say, joyous in it's affection. I'm not sure what scares me more, Josh's comics themselves, or the fact that on the surface this guy seems like a "normal" human being, when clearly this is not the case. No matter, this book rocks. Many thanks to Chris Pitzer and Josh Cotter. I owe you one, kids.
- While i was in Montreal on the way to New York, we stopped by a bitchin' store called Planète BD, which blew my mind. No other North American store has this much French Bandes Dessinee. (French comics, mostly as oversized albums, or new format graphic novels.)
Anyway, i picked up two volumes of a crime story called RG written by Pierre Dragon (who was a special agent himself, before becoming a writer) and drawn by the incredible Swiss inkstud Frederik Peeters. (Peeters is most known here for his book Blue Pills, published by Houghton Mifflin.)
- And down the street (in Montreal) i picked up a gorgeous new Blutch graphic novel, C'était le BonheurC'était le Bonheur. Stunning comics. I'm reminded here of Jules Feiffer's older Village Voice strips stylistically. It's pretty depressing that no one's really made any inroads getting his material into print here in the U.S. Ah well, c'est la vie.
- Last BD i picked up was Daniel Blancou's delightful Le Roi de la Savane, a terrific athrpomorphic treat.
• Charles Hatfield and his cohort Craig at Though Balloonists give careful consideration of Eddie Campbell's Alec graphic novel, How to Be An Artist. Good reading to prepare the world for the mammoth all-in-one Top Shelf Complete Alec tome next year.
June 29, 2008
Wow! Jeremy Eaton's new "Cartoon Jumbles" are awesome!
• From the desk of Eric Reynolds:
"Rhea and I returned home late last night with a new little member of our family, after spending the weekend in the hospital. Clementine Bean Reynolds was born Saturday afternoon (June 21) at 3:15 PM in Ballard's Swedish Hospital. She weighed 7lbs, 2 oz, and is 20 inches long. Rhea and Clem are both doing great and we're overwhelmed but happier than we could have imagined. Clem has strawberry blonde hair and a prodigious appetite, and a birthday one day before her daddy's, which is likely for the best since it means she's a gemini instead of a crabby cancer like her pop."
Big congrats, kids. Now get some sleep!
• Cool video podcast at "The Stack" (at Newsarama) featuring an interview with Alex Robinson, talking about his bitchin' new book Too Cool to Be Forgotten.
• Here's a nifty little strip Noah Van Sciver did, an interview he conducted with Jeffrey Brown.
• The incredibly talented Ulana Zahajkewycz has a new blog. Yah!!!
• Finally, here's a sweet promo postcard Rob Goodin whipped up for his forthcoming Top Shelf comic book called, appropriately, The Man Who Loved Breasts.

June 14, 2008. Email from Jeff Lemire:
"Just got back from the Schuster awards ceremony, and I won Best Canadian Writer/Artist! It was the nights "big" end of the night award and I was up against Darwyn Cooke, Brian Lee O'Malley and Julie Doucet! It is a gorgeous award, and I'll likely get some print in the local newspapers on Monday. Anyways, I thanked all of you and gave my props to Top Shelf...so way to go team! See y'all soon."
Whoo hoo!
On Lemire's Shuster Award, good pal Gary Butler (Quill & Quire, Rue Morgue) said, "A well-deserved win for a brilliant talent." And the subject header for the same email read: The Lemire the Lemerrier. Ha! Love it! Thanks, G.!
• The new Strapazin arrived in the mail. Whoo hoo!
• Alex Robinson's new Too Cool to be Forgotten scores HIGH in New York Mag's "The Approval Matrix." In the "Brilliant/Lowbrow" category there is the cover of Too Cool!!! The text says: "Alex Robinson's endearingly uplifting graphic novel Too Cool to be Forgotten." He shoots, he scores!
• Top Shelf alum Max Estes' online comic strip My Life as a Bunny is being published in Spain! Congrats, Max!
• Big props to Top Shelfers Matt Kindt, Jeff Lemire, and Christian Slade on their 2008 HARVEY AWARD NOMINATIONS!!!
Super Spy, Matt Kindt

• It's no secret i love Wizard mag, and they love us right back! The newest issue (#201) has FOUR Top Shelf plugs! Page 20 had Five Questions with Robert Venditti (for The Surrogates); Matt (Super Spy) Kindt shows up in the "Future Superstars" section on page 79; Alex Robinson's new Too Cool To Be Forgotten, on page 101, is a recommended Summer Read; and it's all good words about James Kochalka's Johnny Boo Volume 1 on page 106.

MoCCA kicked ass, like it always does, even though i came down with a cold, and it was as hot as sin in The City. After three nights in Montreal, living la Vida Loca with mon ami Patrick Jodoin, i stayed at Gregory Benton's swanky new studio loft on Flatbush in Brooklyn.
-Christine Norrie gave me three tiny little piece of printed ephemera that are just exquisite. They are garment tags, with subtle yellow, stamped text, and gorgeous illustrations by Christine printed in red ink. One each for bra, panties, and slip. The style reminds me of a classic line-art style circa 1965 fashion ads. (Or if memory serves, like the packaging that came with sew-your-own fashion patterns like my mom used to make.)
-Will Dinski continues to be a leader in the oft-ignored field of mini-comics, with two new books i was given: Errand Service, a re-packaged clever little ditty about the service-provider who does the minutiae of everyday life and so much more, as work for hire, and a super-mini held together by a metal fastener, called Shift. I'm going to keep singing this guy's praises until he becomes a household name, damnit all!!
-Lilli Carre gave me her exquisite new mini Dorado Park. Lilli is emerging into one of the next generation's brightest stars.
-Good friend Jose Villarrubia introduced me to two of his illustration students whose work literally boggles. Check this shit out!
Kali Ciesmier. Both do amazing work, and i'll be very surprised if i don't start seeing there work all over the place soon. Kali also handed me a delightful little mini-comics titled Paige Turner and the Midnight Curiosity, which amply displays here ability to tell a sequential narrative in pictures as well.
-On the way home (flying over the majestic Rocky Mountains) i had a chance to read How to Love, the new anthology by Israeli ink-studs, Actus. I've known all of them for upwards of a decade now, and have always been a fan, and with this latest, they continue to impress. Greg McElhatton has a review posted here at Read About Comics. This is a book you can order right here from yours truly, if your local retailer can't or won't stock it.
-Sam Henderson gave me the new Magic Whistle (Number 11), also which had me laughing out loud on the flight home. Thanks, Sam!!
-Picked up Danny Hellman's new anthology Typhon. Some great stuff can be found therein, including two strips by Gregory Benton, some nice new work by the likes of Dalton Webb, Pat Moriarity, Chris Cilla, Pshaw, Grant Reynolds, and geez, so many more. All wrapped up in a sweet cover by R. Sikoryak.
-I did get more stuff from MoCCA, but i left it in the hands of Rob Venditti, to ship back to me from Atlanta... stay tuned.
• Jeremy Eaton has a link to three and a half years of his weekly editorial cartoon, A Drawn Perspective. Great stuff!
• Top Shelf 2.0 contributor Lizz Lunney has a terrific new comic out titled I Love Dinosaurs and They Love Me.
• This is not about comics. Read on ONLY if the idea of Challenging the Militarization of US Energy Policy grabs your interest. Good stuff.
oh canada...

Off to Montreal to visit my friend Patrick — and also to flirt with the bevy of cute French-speaking girls — on route to New York for MoCCA. Y'all won't hear from me for at least a week (not uncommon, sadly), so i wanted to throw out my picks from the current Diamond Previews. (I think for items shipping in December.) In order of appearance:
- Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein (new hardcover edition!!)
- Dean Motter's Mr. X Archives. Fun old stuff. Style over substance, but beautiful all the same. Come on... early Jaime Hernandez and Seth?
- Hellboy Library Edition vol. 2. Volume one is drop dead gorgeous. These are as good as it gets.
-DC Universe Illustrated by Neal Adams. His shit still rocks.
-Teen Titans Archives vol. 4. Part of my Holy Trinity. Starfire was as big a crush as any "real" girls up to that point in my teens. And probably as available to Mr. Nerd.
-Y: the Last Man Deluxe Edition vol. 1. I loved the first few trades, and if the package is as tight as the new Starman Deluxe books, i am all over this.
- Criminal #6. As always.
- Marvel Masterworks: Amazing Spider-man vol. 10. I know this is sacrilegious to many, but i'm actually a bigger fan of Romita's Spidey than Ditko. (Of course, Ditko is a god, but Romita's Mary Jane... are you KIDDING me?!!!)
- Immortal Iron Fist tpb vol. 2 (The Brube, Fraction, etc.) The first volume in this series surprised me how much i enjoyed it.
- Dave K.'s Neverland. Almost everything Dave touches is gold. He's like the best teen drama tv show as imagined by John Porcellino.
- Oh yeah!!! Jeffrey Brown's Incredible Chabge-Bots character "Balls" action figure!! I can't handle how cool this is... it actually TRANSFORMS!!
- Against Pain, by Ron Rege Jr. Another member of the circa mid-90s generation whose work is always worth reading.
- Eddie Campbell's The Amazing Monsieur Leotard. Eddie makes comics. The world rejoices. 'Nuff said.
- EC Archives: Haunt of Fear vol. 1. The best reprint project going on currently, alongside Terry and the Pirates.
- Complete Dick Tracy vol. 5. Choice vintage comics. We truly are in a Golden Age of reprints.
- Local hardcover edition. Brian Wood works magic on the page. And coupled with Ryan Kelly's insanely good art on this series, i've devoured every issue to date.
- Love the Way You Love (Jamie Rich and Marc Ellerby). I've yet to read this, but i dig Jamie's stuff.
- Sharknife vol. 2: Double Z. Corey Lewis' manic fucking madness. Over the top, ADD, and high octane.
- Tezuka's Dororo vol. 3. Tezuka, duh...
And there's more in the book section, including a collection of Frazetta comics, a collection of Will Eisner's PS Magazine, and a series of toys of the old Rankin & Bass characters classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I showed this to Carter this last December, and he flipped his wig.
• Boo Ya! Charlito and Mr. Phil are hosting an Indie Spinner Rack party this Saturday night, ladies and gents. Yahoo! Me loves me a good party, and these cats are as cool as cucumbers.
FREE DOOR PRIZES, DJ WACKY WACK, FREE LOVE & Perhaps Mr. Phil will take his shirt off!

• Pat Moriarity made this awesome poster for the Horror film Paper Dolls. It will be showing in Seattle for the STIFF Film Festival, Tuesday, June 10th. 8:00. Jewel Box Theater. Nice work, Pat!

Guest blog by our man Rob Venditti, writer of the graphic novel The Surrogates:
"This past week, Chris Staros, Brett Weldele, and I were invited to visit the set of the upcoming SURROGATES movie, currently filming in Boston. It was a trip for the ages, and I left having learned a lot about what goes into the making of a big-budget film. What surprised me more than anything else was the sheer enormity of the production, which involves hundreds of cast and crewmembers, as well as multiple sets scattered around the metro area.
"I was equally surprised at how much they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I expected us to spend the two-day visit scrambling to stay out of everyone's way and keep our nuisance quotient at the lowest possible level, but the people we met were genuinely interested in showing us what's in store for the film adaptation. On the first day, the location scouts took us on a tour through the various sets in downtown Worcester—it's crazy what the set dressers are able to accomplish in a relatively short time, taking a run-down room in an abandoned building and turning it into a fully realized space. I couldn't see for certain who the artists were, but some of the local concert posters hanging on the wall in one set smacked heavily of the Fort Thunder crowd.
"On the second day we visited the main production office in Woburn, where the production designers were bent over their drafting tables, sketching out concepts for sets and props that are yet to be built. The level of detail they're going into is beyond reason—one of the particularly impressive props we saw was about the size of a phone booth. I stepped closer for a better look and saw a small sticker, maybe twice the size of a business card, on which were typed the user instructions, as though the prop were a real mechanism and not something created for a film set. I can't imagine that it'll be filmed close enough to actually read the instructions or even notice them, but they're there anyway. That's just one example of how carefully the designers are thinking this thing through.
"We spent a good amount of time watching the actual filming as well. We saw Bruce Willis do dialogue. We saw him do action. Even better, we saw him do the quiet moments where it's just him and the camera as he pieces together the film's mystery. Everything we saw only reinforced what I've said from the beginning—Willis is THE guy to play Greer.
"To the slater who let me work the 'sticks,' thank you. To craft services, who kept us in cookies, pizza bagels, and bottled water, thank you. To the lunch caterers—I went in expecting chicken strips and tater tots, and you gave me shrimp scampi and shepherd's pie—thank you. To everyone who took the time to show us around, thank you. Our visit was every bit as enjoyable and informative as a school field trip, except instead of visiting the planetarium, we, you know, saw our story getting turned into a feature film.
"The question I've been asked more than any other over the past year is: 'Does it feel like this is really happening?' Hollywood is always in such a state of flux that it's hard to ever know definitively where things stand. So it never really felt real—not after seeing the screenplay, or even after hearing that Bruce Willis had been cast in the lead. But when I was on set and saw the slate, on which were the words SURROGATES and beneath that DIRECTED BY JONATHAN MOSTOW, PHOTOGRAPHED BY OLIVER WOOD, that was a different story. Now it feels real."
(And here's the cover for the upcoming sequel graphic novel, Surrogates: Flesh and Bone.)
• RELEASE PARTY FOR DAVID CHELSEA'S 24x2!
David Chelsea will appear at Floating World Comics, in Portland's historic Chinatown district, celebrating the release of his book 24x2, published by Top Shelf Productions. 24x2 collects two 24-page stories, each created over the course of a 24-hour period!
The party will also celebrate the opening of a gallery show at Floating World, featuring the art of legendary alternative cartoonists Peter Bagge, J.R. Williams, and Mats!?. The show will run through June 30th.
David Chelsea is a Portland-based cartoonist and illustrator. His graphic novels David Chelsea in Love (1992) and Welcome to the Zone (1995) have earned him a cult following. His hybrid graphic novel / textbook Perspective! For Comic Book Artists (1997) has helped cartoonists create realistic worlds for over a decade. His illustrations for the "Modern Love" column greet readers of the New York Times every week.
But perhaps his most unique achievement is his history with the 24-hour comic book — a complete 24-page comic book story, created from start to finish in 24 hours. Since his first 24-hour comic experience in 2004, Chelsea has returned again and again to this comic-book crucible, completing his stunning TENTH 24-hour comic on April 5, 2008.
Now, Top Shelf Productions presents the cream of Chelsea's crop: two hand-picked 24-hour comics from the reigning champion of the form.
WHO: David Chelsea, Peter Bagge, J.R. Williams, Mats!?, and the public!
WHAT: Gallery show, opening reception, book release party for David Chelsea's 24x2

• I recently picked up one of the coolest books EVER. Hats off to editor Charlie Kochman at Abrams for spearheading a stunning collection of the brilliant old-school Wacky Packages stickers. Featuring an interview with art spiegelman, who worked on these waaaaay back in the day, and an afterword by contributing artist Jay Lynch, this tight little tome showcases every single Wacky Packages bubblegum card of Series 1-7 back in the early 70s.
Holy crap, this is a seriously fun blast from the past. Highly recommended!!!
• Finally, i'm leaving for Montreal in just a few days (on route to MoCCA in New York City)... i'm hoping to post a list of items i'll be seeking out from the current Diamond Previews before i leave. There is a freaking boatload of great stuff coming out this Summer!

Last year we had such an abundance of lndy bugs (beetles) everywhere in town. In my back yard, I have a row of Cosmos growing and with my macro lens and some extension tubes, well, this is what I found. There was hardly room for more.

Our most popular medium. We make each canvas print to order using the finest HP inks, stretched around chunky 44mm frames resulting in a striking museum-quality finish. Here are some tips for selecting the right finish -
Bleed options: Bleed wrapped sides "wrap" the image around the sides of the frame offering a stunning finish if your chosen image can accommodate this without losing any of the core subject. Alternatively mirrored, black, or white sides are dependable options which result in no loss of image around the sides.
Lacquered finish will give your canvas UV and humidity protection, particularly important if you are hanging in a room prone to moisture (kitchen or bathroom), or your image consists of mainly dark colours
Ready to hang directly onto your wall, with hooks already in place, all you need do is decide where to hang your new art.

I havn't used flash for some time now... this movie is actually quite random but it was what was in my head when I heard this song. Its about death & your memories before death. If you dont like insperational movies with a musical back ground then you prob. wont like this. I really hope you guys do like it... Im not sure how it will go over but i did put alot of work into it and i had to pretty much relearn flash. lol a little rusty. :) anyways please leave your coments! thanks again -Ashy
Check Out My New Version!

i dont even really know what to say...
this is a video, but more than a video, it is disturbing, it is rewarding and i have no idea what YOU will think of it. as i have mentioned before, this entire video is in the eye of the beholder.
as for me, i thought it was stunning.

Courageously Noir
This is the second movie by Ashley Voortman I've seen. Again, this was a well done clip, but its just a bit lacking. I'm expecting something more. There's just a bit too many fillers in the movie. She touches on a few really great things but I don't feel she goes all the way. The story and feelings are just on the cusp of something better. I'm sure she could take it to the next level. It's almost there. The video just doesn't make as great of an impact as it could. It doesn't touch one enough. It doesn't reach out and grab you. It's all a bit too random. The themes need to be more well developed as does the message. Lots of potential here.

there was some really haunting imagery in here, especially the part with the couple, and then it faded out to two gravestones.
