000074 - ill

don't know if it the extra cold winter mornings and nights we've been having here but my break/holiday just got a bit disappointing.

it looks like i've got a cold -___-

i've been fighting it out with the rest of the house, since everyone's been sneezing and cough like mad since late last week. and looks like i've lost the battle!

not exactly good for drawing and comic page production when you're coughing out a lung every 30 second or dribbling runny snort from your snozzle...

ah well, i'm catching up reading gantz, death note, and other mangas.

saw some pretty good dvds over the last weekend. constantine was pretty cool. while i've only read a few issues of hellblazer, i think it was more of a pop corn special effects blockbuster movie rather than a comic book movie. i liked the ending even though it wasn't too over the top. the final cut, starring robin williams was a surprisingly good movie. set in the future, basically he edits dead people's memories so families can remember them the way they want to. also watched a hongkong horror called, the eye 10, which is the 3rd movie in the eye series by the pang brothers. the first movie was still the best, i reckon.

anyway, back to recovering and reading more good manga!

000073 - break begins!

went to see batman begins sunday night. the movie itself was also very very enjoyable. didn't have high expectations but came out more than satisfied. i really loved the bruce wayne ninja bits (obviously), in fact the whole bruce wayne development section was really well done. christopher nolan (momento), the director, even mixed up the flashback chronologically, which was great. i can see the whole father-son angle with the characterisation and i'm sure it wasn't a coincidence this movie was released on the same father's day weekend.

great casting, too. christian bale, morgan freeman, gary oldman (wow), liam nelson, cillian murphy and michael caine. and yes, i also enjoyed katie holmes' nipples under that silk top towards the end of the movie! j/k XP~. it wasn't the most perfect movie though, i had minor gripes with the fighting always so friggin' closeup and a lot of good dialogue spoken over dramatic and loud music.

didn't do as well as i had hoped at this year's ozcomic's 24 hr challenge. my entry, "sk8 or die!", only got up to 10 pages before i fell asleep. i tried to do something a bit different, light and fun this year. i hope others enjoyed it. definitely checkout all the other great entries this year, there are a lot of talented artists and writers out there!

my uni projects are officially complete and submitted. now i feel much relieved. the knight-edge animated trailer went well, the 3D maya short animation turned out good thanks to some appropriate source music, the video interview on my group partner turned out as good as i had hoped and the stop-motion animation lego project got a pretty good reception, too. now i'm finally looking forward to catching up with some much needed sleep, comic book reading, video gaming and just plain vegetating!

speaking of which, i just watched my first ever episode of the OC tonight... so this is what young people are into these days (>__<) ----- but i guess i can't do too much of that. i want to finish more pages for a charity project, just plain draw fun stuff if i can find the time and momentum and get onto drawing some more knight-edge pages. speaking of knight-edge, i also got a chance to upload a quicktime of the completed ke trailer!!

000072 - 24 hours is coming soon

haven't blogged in a while due to uni project presentations and deadlines. finally getting a chance to catch my breathe again, which is a relief.

but i still have submissions due early next week and i just realised that the 24 hour challenge is this weekend (go register and participate)!!

i was 50/50 on whether to do it or not, but since it's already been minimal amount of sleep the past month dealing with uni stuff, i thought i might as well make another crack at this challenge! this will be my 4th attempt (with no idea what to do yet) and i hope i can get to 24 pages this year.

you might have even heard about this challenge from this age newspaper article.

(belated happy birthday to doug holgate also)

was at the "are you going to buy that?" zine fair last saturday afternoon, selling knight-edge comics. didn't know what to expect since i've never been to one of these and wasn't expecting crowds or atmosphere like comicfest or supanova either. fellow comickers and exhibitionists (giggle), dean rankine, daniel reed and david blumenstein were all there as well selling stuff! dean gave me a copy of his latest mini-comic "A is ..." and i brought a sticker off him. i got some cool ass crumpleton experiments comics from daniel and pre-ordered the herman dvd off david!

anyway, probably blog again later!

ps: although i love the concept, i'm not the biggest fan of gorillaz, but i gotta admit i love that new single "feel good inc."
