Daily Grind is currently running an online comic competition. Competitors must post a new comic five times a week until they give up in an exhausted, unmotivated heap.
This site has short extracts from a number of vintage (50s? 60?) Russian animations. They're fairly incomprehensible to me, but I like the look.
It lead me to do a search for Soviet book illustrations which produced this site. There are many things I like here - like this and this and even this slightly terrifying looking one, seemingly (but probably not) of a man about to be run over by a looming tank.
Scholars Who Blog is a list of links to teachers and academics who have used or are currently using blogs as part of their teaching as well as some newspaper articles on the subject.
I've been keeping a visual journal recently and looking at Kerry's work has made me realise that I've been approaching it in the wrong way. I'm spending too much time on individual pages - they need to be rougher and more random.
So, two weeks no blogging. What a slacker. Admittedly, I was away for part of it - five days in smelly old Rotorua and then three days in East Gippsland giving my nasal passages an airing, but I have no valid excuses past last Wednesday except that killer combination of busy-ness and laziness. Will try to do better this week.
In honour of this evening's Oscars I have a link to this site - extracts from (apparently)proposed movie scenarios posted by the guy in Hollywood who gets to read them. The thing about them is that a lot don't really sound any worse that many movies already made.
