Sorry for the lack of new posts lately. I just started a new job, and haven't had much time. But I got a copy of the most recent issue of Make: to read on the bus, and it's kind of fun.

POINT BLANK

I just picked up this DVD for $4 today at a CompUSA that's going out of business. You gotta see it if you haven't yet. Lee Marvin "makes love" to Angie Dickinson and then punches her out. Actually it was in The Killers that Marvin punches out Dickinson. In Point Blank, Dickinson knocks out Marvin with a pool cue and then they get it on. Lee Marvin also gets so mad that he shoots the phone and makes Carol O'Connor wet his pants.

Velha Guarda

I came across this incredible album cover tonight at a Brazilian music sharing blog, International Restored LP. Click to see the glorious giant sized version. I didn't listen to the album yet, but I hope it's as good as the cover makes it out to be...

Here's some drawings I've done lately, three of which are trying to emulate the style of Milt Gross, and the fourth is a John Held-ish face. That green guy ended up looking a little like Jon Waters.

It's For You

This is a discard print from the batch I made for the Gocco Set, a set of prints made with the Print Gocco pocket silkscreening toy, put together a couple years ago by my friends, and powerful cartoonists, Onsmith and Ivan Brunetti. This particular print suffers from being way off-register and there's some weak spots that didn't get any ink. It was also printed on mylar, which is a little too slick and not porous enough for the ink, so the prints took a week to dry. I'm also interested to see what'll happen, if anything, to these over time if the mylar starts out-gassing or degrading somehow. So far they look the same...

I'm planning another gocco print since I have a lot of time on my hands lately (I'm new in town and unemployed--won't you please help?). And I still have a couple of the Gocco Sets for sale, contact me at david @ reliablecomics . com
