Due to recent actions taken against this site I have shut down the auto account approval and the Forums. I am not sure if they will re open any time soon. At this point I'm not too happy with how things are going with this site. I could easily have updates everyday but they would just be fluff. 

I (FINALLY!!!) bought something I've been wanting for a very long time. Seven years to be exact.
You see, about 15 years ago I had this fantastic flatbed scanner but about seven years ago it died. Now you might think today no big deal but back then I hadn't used the scanner for some time and had many other bills to attend to so buying a new scanner wasn't tops on the priority list. Well, over the last few years I have missed the scanner. Since I have recently started drawing again I thought I should really have one again. I just wanted a scanner but most are attached to the top of a printer now. I really wasn't looking for a "printer" as my LaserJet 5M has been great for the last 14 years (wow, that's longer than I thought but back then is when I bought it... USED) and is still doing a great job for me.

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hope you get everything you want. :)

Ever been interested in doing a comicbook? Ever think about doing it online as a webcomic? The guys from Half Pixel would like to guide you along. Half Pixel, or as they are probably better known:

• Scot Kurtz from PVP
• Dave Kellet from Sheldon
• Kris Struab from Starslip Crisis
• Brad Guiger from Evil Inc.

Not too long ago they purchased the internet domain webcomics.com and are now running it as a HOW TO kind of site for those who would be interested in getting into the field.

Have a look. Really good stuff.

I've been trying very hard to keep my technology based blog and this site somewhat separate but I've found something that blurs the two. Google, the enormously popular search engine has come out with their own web browser called Chrome.
So why is this worthy of a post here? Well, they had a fellow most of you should know by the name of Scott McCloud create an online comicbook that explains what Chrome is and some of it's important features. I thought it was well done. It also shows an aspect that I think most people don't normally see from standard comics. Comics could easily be used as an easy to follow guide. Something between textbook and presentation but better than both. Have a look and judge for yourself. :)

Saw this over at Aint it Cool News. Firebeather, The Mice Templar, and The Vanishers are all getting made into TV movies. Firebreather and The Mice Templar, both Image published books, will be computer animated while The Vanishers, published by IDW, will be live action.

Like I said in the title, pretty cool. Tip of the hat goes to Cartoon Network for doing it. :)

Okay, had to do a little site maintenance today as I posted a few articles in the forums over the past month.Just movies I've seen. You can read them here, here, here, and here. OR you can read them as you normally would since they should now be on the site properly. :) That was the problem. They never seemed as being published for anyone to read. Sorry about that. I have been doing stuff on the site. Really I have. :) I know the last one works as I just posted it. :)

Anyways, again sorry if you have been looking for stuff from us and finding nothing. Also, if you find us filling your RSS feed that would be from this problem too.

Lastly, you can always join us and participate. We would love to hear others feedback and comments. :)

Seems to be a lot of comic book related movies this summer and I'm lovin' it!

So, B:TDK, WOW!!! Saw it at an early Saturday matinee. WOW!!!

The ONLY negative thing I have to say about the movie was the actress playing Rachel Doss looked much older than Katie Holmes. I don't know if it was intentionally done but that's it. Everything else is super green. A definite go see movie.

I thought everyone was saying Oscar nomination for Heath Ledger's part as the Joker was more a tip of the hat for a guy, who let's face it, died way too young. After seeing the movie, okay I get it. He played the part of the Joker to a the letter. Maybe better than Jack's portrayal. Actually, I think it was better. He was scarier looking. More methodical and maniacal. Overall just freaky good at the part.

Okay, the first Hellboy movie was good. Not great. This one I think was WAY better. More story, more action. It was smart yet easy to follow. The characters were played well. The creatures were SOOO cool looking. Gotta say this one is well worth seeing.

That's it. I'm not going to give you ANYTHING about the story. If you don't know what Hellboy is go find out. The stories in comic book form are worth reading. The movies have been worth seeing. So either way you should be satisfied.
