Jellaby: Monster in the City on sale!
Jellaby 2 is currently on sale at Amazon.com! At $4, it's a total steal. Book 2 is likely going to drop out of print soon, so if you haven't already picked up a copy, I'd suggest you do so sooner rather than later. -
Sparrow Songs
"Sparrow Songs is a project in which filmmaker Alex Jablonski and cinematographer Michael Totten make and exhibit one short documentary per month, every month for one year."
I wanted to share this, and as usual, Twitter was frustrating me because I couldn't elaborate on how this made me feel. In addition to being beautifully shot and often veering ( Read more... )

Things I didn't think.
Some things I didn't think [spoilers of various things ahead]:
1.) I didn't think Deadwood had the capacity to shock me any further midway into its third season, but it did. Specifically, Dan's fight in the thoroughfare. That shit was crazy. Really enjoying the third season after a bit of a slump in the second. Having a clearly defined villain is ( Read more... ) -
Plastic Bag
I know everyone on Twitter has probably seen this already, but I wanted to post this more for myself because I enjoyed it so damned much. A short film by Ramin Bahrani, voiced by Werner Herzog and music by Kjartan Sveinsson, he of Sigur Ros. I've been slowly making my way through Bahrani's films in the new year, and the one thing I truly love are ( Read more... ) -
CNY vs. Valentine's Day, or as I like to think of it: East vs. West
Happy Chinese New Year, ladies and dudes.
Something I'm working on that could arguably be related to Valentine's Day:

Ozu, Trains and Automobiles
This is pretty neat. A compilation of the trains and automobiles from Yasujiro Ozu's films (although surprisingly not from all of his films).
I had a bunch of documentaries about Ozu running in the background while I worked today. Fascinating stuff, and surprising to see how well loved he was by the people that worked with him (seeing his long- ( Read more... ) -
Comics!
Oh man, what a great week for comics right now. First off:
Raina's SMILE is out now. Everyone needs to go pick up a copy. It is super special. Seriously.
Jen's comic actually exists in physical form. OMG so excited. I have a great story about the first time I ever read a draft of it, but I am saving that for when the book get its proper release ( Read more... ) -
Technology!
- Hope Larson's Salamander Dream now available on the Kindle!
- The Torontoist interviews me- And where my head is at today: I want to write a realistic, gritty "re-imagining" of Star Trek, where all the technology is supplied by Apple, all the uniforms are black turtlenecks, and the reason why there's no money in this universe is because the ( Read more... ) -
Thanks!
Just sticking my head back in here to thank everyone for their kind words and support. And to share this totally awesome pinup that Tony Cliff did a while back, for a Jellaby project that sort of died on its feet (although it may still have legs, if I were to mix my metaphors). Looks best embiggened.
