Due to the technical difficulties that prevented me from doing a strip on Wednesday, I haven’t really picked up a pencil since completing Monday’s strip. I feel a little rusty! Remember kids, that’s why it’s important to draw every day.
Anyway, feeling like I tried to put a lot into today’s comic and I have stayed up well past my bed time, this won’t be much of a blog. Just take heart in the fact that I have my new 19" flat screen LCD Samsung monitor and I love it. I love it enough to post pictures of it on the internet for you to ogle at:
I always get really self-conscious drawing celebrities. You’d think for a comic about movies and pop-culture, I would have a more refined sense of caricature. Nope, not really. I maintain that pretty much all of my character designs are the same, I just give them different haircuts.
I ∗do∗ think my rendition of Cameron Crowe turned out pretty well. But does that play to anyone who isn’t a cinephile? I mean, how familiar is the general population with the physically appearance of a director? I mean if he isn’t Spielberg, Scorsese or Hitchcock?
At any rate, I’ll be back later with a more thorough blog. In the meantime, why don’t you vote for Theater Hopper at Webcomics List to see my sketch of Legolas from The Lord of the Rings trilogy? I think that one came out pretty nice. Legolas of course being the filter through which I view all of Orlando Bloom’s subsequent roles.
Enjoy!
