2011

I'm back at school once again. Looking forward to this week of classes, mostly because of my intro to illustration class and the fact that on Friday I get to meet a living legend, George Pratt.

I know that 2011 is going to be a very productive year, and a formative one. Make yourselves better this year guys. And don't make resolutions, make goals. Making a resolution to do something is almost a surefire way to make sure that specific thing does not happen. Set your goal; then a halfway point; then a halfway point between that. Plan specifically to help you reach the goals you want to accomplish. Drifting aimlessly has never gotten anybody anywhere. Don't be mediocre, average, or complacent. Look to convenience only when convenience makes it easy to work hard.

Alex Raymond in the Studio

Found an awesome picture of the great comic artist Alex Raymond in the studio, getting ready to ink some pencils for Rip Kirby.

I've been trolling around on http://www.comicartfans.com/, typing in the names of some of my favorite inkers and comic artists like Jorge Zaffino, George Pratt, Raymond, Leonard Starr, Noel Sickles, etc. There's tons of great rez reproductions of the original pages, its a goldmine.

Here's some more Alex Raymond, easily found on comicartfans:
