Loot from Heroescon 09!

2009-07-01T13:43:00.003-04:00

some of this stuff I paid for some of this stuff I traded for my first printing of Real Cane Sugar, either way it's all great and I've gone through many of them already (but there's a lot to go through still).

the book I read from this group was Josh Latta's Redskin Rashy. This is the fifth book in Latta's ongoing series of Rashy titles which are part real life stories part cartoons. I met Latta last year when I didn't have my own comic to show off to folks but he was real nice and even gave me one of his books free after I bought two of them. This year he also introduced me to a rather fun podcast called Keith and the Girl as well as Adam Carolla's awesome podcast. What I like about Josh's books is that with each issue his art seems to change and with it the story telling sort of does as well, It's as if he's always evolving or looking to find the style that suits his needs the best and I respect him for it. I told him that I expect his next rashy book to have just as much evolution as the last one did.

I also read Drew Weing's Blar (not pictured since my bro is borrowing it) which was HILARIOUS! and the craftsmanship in the inking was INSANE! go buy everything this guy and his partner Eleanor Davis make! because Beast Mother was also amazing and my bro is borrowing that as well.

When I got home I read all the way through Evan Dahm's Rice Boy which I'm not even going to comment on just go buy it. Everyone in the western world should buy this book, this is what fantasy should be. The color is gorgeous and the world is imaginative to a point that you'll want to never make a comic book out of sheer embarrassment because you know in your heart of hearts you'll never make a comic this good ever in your life.

Sally Bloodbath's book Girls Don't Make Passes at Boys with Mustaches is wonderful with art that I find mega endearing and each panel is wonderful to look at. my favorite true life story involved one of her two cats and a bird that flew into her house.

America's own Sam Spina made a mini just for the convention called Hoodle Origins. It's a cute book about a young Alien living in Texas who want's to know where the hell he's really from. I found out about Spina when I found a collection of Journal Comics he did for sale at Acme Comics and Records in Downtown Columbia. He's a super nice guy and he didn't even punch me for falling asleep during a panel I went with him to.

Only Skin by Sean Ford is excellent and I can't wait to read the rest of it. The Magazine Size of the Book is just a treat to hold and the story is very intriguing. I plan on buying the rest of it the next time I'm in a position to.

MK Reed's Cross Country was an excellent read and I was very pleased to have the chance to get it. The writing in this book is wonderful and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't pick up more books from this cartoonist as soon as you can. I really frickin Enjoyed it! She also did a comic for an anthology by Adhouse which was awesome.

I had the chance to trade Real Cane Sugar for the first issue of PaperCutter featuring a short story by Aaron Renier who is awesome. His brush work will make your eyes water and your mouth drop. I plan on buying every single book in this awesome anthology series from TugBoat press. If you have a chance to get a hold of one of these books then take it! you won't regret it in the slightest!

WOOOOO!!! that took up a good afternoon! There may be some books I missed so expect to see this entry revisited once or twice. I love these comics so much and to all of those I met while I was at Heroescon in Charlotte good luck and thanks for reading!!

hey guys, I woke up really really late on my day off and got home and drew this page while listening to the commentaries on my new Mtv Downtown DVD I've been waiting for this dvd since the show was on tv in 99 so that's pretty sweet, it's only available from the creator themselves though.

I got a moleskine sketchbook, four of them actually. Hopefully I'll have more neat pages like these in the future.. I am pretty sure the amazing Chris O'Neill at http://thumbsoneill.blogspot.com uses one to a much better affect than I.. I didn't realize this until after I got mine in the mail,

I switched over to Moleskine because the big white paper sketchbooks I used to be able to get at 7 dollars a pop are 20 friggin dollars a piece now!! what the hell is this world coming to that a guy can't get a nice cheap sketchbook? Anyway, thanks, amazon, for helping me waste my time and money with a slightly more expensive sketchbook.

It took like an hour to finally be kind of satisfied with this idea... but the point is to just draw a comic every night.. so that's what I'm gonna do!!.. ughgh!!!

easy on the eyes, hard on the anus.

2007-08-29T01:01:00.001-04:00

the suggestion for this came from my brother.

second part of the same comic with the original part and new dialogue, man these titles sure can get pretty long,

2007-08-28T00:03:00.000-04:00

I'd like to think that every character in this comic is a representation of myself.. only not as fat. and smoking pot.. which is something I don't do anymore. That is until it's decriminalized. then fuck yea.

half one.. other half will be drawn and coloed at the end of the hres.. I thhw

I had a new comic yesterday too, but it required a ton of context so I wasn't about to post it.

Here's today's comic though.. It's about girls with glasses... woop.

2007-08-22T11:01:00.001-04:00

I've decided that in conjunction to me nerdercizing everyday, I'm also going to draw a one page comic everyday as well. The plan is that as I slowly become slightly less unhealthy that I will also have a huge library of comics for people to look at (hopefully they will slowly become better with each new one) It's like exercise for the brain and hands!!!

wooo!

ok, here's the first four comics I've done.. there will be a new one tonight and a new one every night from now until I stop!

I hope some of these are entertaining.

I like this comic called Powers.

I don't know what makes people hate the show but my only guess is the fact that it's paced a lot slower than most other shows and that it's very very dialog heavy. I love the show and I set it up as an example of how a cartoon can be smart and funny at the same time (well the later seasons anyway). I know the character designs leave much to be desired and the show has less animation than one of the poorer episodes of Rocky and Bullwinkle, but the charm is really in the characters talking and then they throw in at least one visual gag and even more so when they seasons progressed.

But my favorite thing about the show was Brendan Small's musical contributions. I read in another blog that a lot of the worst writers in animation are normally A: Stand-up Comedians and B: constantly making songs to put in the show so they can rake up Royalties. I think there were some other ones but I forgot to remember them and it's getting late. I don't know if a lot of people feel Brendan Small's writing is among the evil bastards among animated shows. Of course, I'm willing to bet many people who want to draw for a living don't even count the show as animated but more of some kind of radio play with pictures.

Would it work without the images of the characters? Would it be too cumbersome if all the characters were well designed and animated in at least 10 frames per second? Does the show not even belong in animation and should be live action?

I don't think much at all.

2007-02-23T19:52:00.000-05:00

I've been reading blogs about the state of the animation industry. It's turning the gears in my head. Do I really want to work in an industry that seems to be full of upset people that say they're being abused? Well, yea I still do, or at least an equivalent; anywhere I get to draw and think up jokes and stories for a living is still a dream job to me.

It's also got me thinking that all I do in this blog is post some random sketches that my friends on the forum find funny and then wait for someone to notice my little ignorant self. It makes me look like an ignorant child who just wants to doodle and nothing more. This is partially true.

What is this Blog really for?

While working on my senior project at Winthrop University I used a blog for documenting the progress of a story I was putting together through creating characters and completing a storyboard. I'm gearing up to make a personal post graduation project. I'm weighing the benefits of doing little more than just showing glimpses of it rather than the way I ran my last blog, in which I presented everything.

It's time I made this blog a little more personal than it was before.

I do a lot of posting and general fun having on the somethingawful.com forums.

My favorite of the areas in the forums is BYOB. There, a guy can goof off and talk about video games an other random stuff without having to worry about too much unnecessary drama that comes from other forums. There's some fun people there and I like to let them throw ideas at me, it keeps me drawing.

Just before I graduated I started a thread in which I would always reply with a drawing. I didn't promise I would reply to every post, and I didn't say I'd reply to a post with an image that was requested of me. Here's some of my fave doodles from the thread.

The first thread was "goldmined" and can be found here. I started the new thread last night.

Hello.

I am Paul Smith. I am here for to make drawings all the day long. I'm a cartoonist with an Illustration degree from Winthrop University. Well, at least for the past month anyway I'm a cartoonist with an Illustration degree. I made this blog because I feel like I need a place to put my crappy draft cider induced doodles. The second reason I made this Blog was to maybe have a reason to start drawing more.

Let's hope this turns out to be some kind of fun for somebody.
