My sister and I finally make it out to Wake Nation this year. We each had our best day. Mine was Friday and her’s was Saturday. But all-in-all, a great way to start out our summer wake-boarding season.
Mr. 300 from Tim Schafer on Vimeo.
The old dog can still throw that rock! Last night my dad threw yet another 300 and his friend Paul was there to record the final frame. Way to go Dad!
I play on a Div.5 men’s hockey league. I like to think of it as the never-ever league. We started our Spring Season last Sunday. FYI – we finished our fall season as 1st place Champions (whoot!). Alicia and Ry can to my game, and Alicia videoed my game. This was about the only “productive” thing I did that night. You can see that I trying to center the puck. It didn’t work the first time, but the new guy (Rob, i think) was on point the second time. I skated the puck around the net, located Rob for the goal. We won the game 5-4 in a Shoot Out. Go Hookers!
Sad day. I remember my 90′s comic book days. Wizard was a heavy part of it. The 90′s for me was 100% based on artists, didn’t care who wrote the comic, it was about art…and Jim Lee’s X-Men…loved me some Jim Lee x-men back in the day. Wizard provided everything I needed to know about comics. From previews, interviews, Top 100′s, the “If they ever made a movie based of “this comic” who would the cast be, and the most important thing about Wizard, the price guide!!!! Even if i didn’t buy that magazine that month, i would always check out the price guide. And when they started to poly-bag the magazine, i would go to my local Safeway (grocery store in CO.) tear the poly-bag and check to see if my Spawn Issue 4 w/coupon was making money…Click here to ifanboy.com to read and post comments.
Wow! This is the second time i want to point out this Hugh Rose’s awesome work! Check out the article on SpankyStokes.com
How could you not love this! I’ve got to pick one of these up.
It was little over 2 years ago, I was just getting back into comic books after dropping them in the ’00 decade. Mark Millar’s Old Man Logan was the first title i picked up just because it was Wolverine and it’s general good. BTW, Millar’s Old Man Logan was freaking awesome! Anyway, I noticed posters about this new series from Morrison and a artist that i didn’t really care for in the past when he did a run on New X-Men, but the way that he was drawing Batman and Robin, I was really drawn to it. And I’m glad I did. Batman and Robin has been one of the best book in the industry. Sadly, this weeks issue ends Grant Morrison’s run (Quitely only made it through 3 issues, but continued to do the cover). The title will continue with a new creative team, hope they can continue to make Batman and Robin a great read.
So if anyone is reading, and if you good for you, you’ve noticed that I have added anything since Oct. 12th.
And if you’ve been truly reading it, then you’ve notice that I have done some advertising work for Credit Union Times.
About 4-6 months ago I was asked to reimage, redesign CUT’s tired 25 year old facade. I have done my share of redesigning and creating magazine, but never a business journal. Naturally I jumped at the chance. After months of work, it was presented to the powers-that-be and it was approved! HO_YAH! So I started getting this pub ready for production: creating character and paragraph style guides. Setting the various master pages. Create, labeled and fill the multiple visual library. On and On…
So everything was about ready…..then I get asked to be the Art Director. Which is quite interesting, because CUT has never had an Art Director. Though about for a day or two, then accepted the position. CUT launch it’s first resigned weekly issue Oct. 27, 2010. Been quite busy since.
Spanky Stokes blog’s about Squid Kids Ink upcoming toy. Check out it’s 8-bit goodness.
For a low low price of $650 you too can own a Hugh Gee custom munny….Oh wait…sorry sold out.
This is my take on Ivan Reis’s Green Lantern artwork. Remember that part in Chasing Amy, when Bansky(?) said “It’s not tracing,” it really is..BUT look closer. Every line, minus the green glow, is either vertical or horizontal. No slant, curve lines. Like an Etch-a-Sketch. This is the first of many. Can you Justice League…I knew you could.
Darwyn Cooke’s adapted and illustrated version of Richard Stark’s Parker is one of the best graphic novels I’ve had the pleasure of reading. I’ve been a fan of Darwyn Cooke’s work even before I knew who Darwyn Cooke was (He was the story board artist with the 1990′s Batman the animation tv series). So this week the second Parker book was release: the Outfit. If you don’t know anything about Parker book, go watch Mel Gibson’s Payback movie; the picture was based off the books. Cooke’s golden/silver age artwork is beautiful page to page. Even the paper smells like its from the 1960s.
Beautiful custom 3-inch Dunny by Squink!
THE WALKING DEAD “Opening Titles” from Daniel Kanemoto on Vimeo.
This should totally be the opening for Robert Kirkman’s upcoming TV series based off his hit comic book The Walking Dead. The credits go by pretty quick but other than that this is awesome. With the music from the Eels and the beautiful artwork from Tony Moore (which i meant at the Cincinnati Comic Expo), this fan created open should be on everyone premier night of The Walking Dead Oct. 31st
For a low low price of 150,000 you too can own a gorgeous and authentic replica of the most famous car in the world, the 1966 batmobile. Fiberglass Freaks’ replicas have all the great features that you remember, too–the double bubble windshields, those loooong fins, a working flame thrower out the rear, the highly-polished aluminum roll-top dashboard, the flashing red beacon light, and many more. Check’em out!
Here’s a sneak peep of a art piece that i’m working on. It’ll be part of a, hopefully, continuing series.
KidRobot has released a dunny series that has, which I can’t believe, an Angry Woebot dunny! This is a must get for me.
Amazing stop-motion film looking through a microscope. Unique idea!
Every Wednesday I’ll be posting something comic book related. Whether it’s books, covers, panels, industry news, art, reviews. So to start it off I’m excited that Millar and McNiven have FINALLY released issue 3 of Nemesis. Nemesis is a 4 part creator owned mini-series that asks the question “What if Batman was the Joker?” The book so far is good, not great. But I’m a McNiven and Millar fan so this is a must get.
Society6 has some great “one-liner” posters created by 37 Posters. Love the clerk poster. Spent about 5 minutes just reading all the quotes that made that movie awesome. Check’em out
I’m a fan of vinyl art. Mostly munny and dunny’s. My favorite is Angry Woebots. Anyway from time to time i’ll post some of my favorite customs in the news section. This week is a sick custom by UK designer Hugh Rose. He’s available for custom work. Just beautiful detailed work.
Ken Block has to be one of the great driver on the planet. This video makes sure that everyone knows it.
Just got back from the Cincinnati Comic Book Expo. This is the first comic expo since 1999. Not to bad. The theme must have been goth, and zombies, good lord all the freaking zombie art and books. It was no comic-con but i did pick up some find some great books that I’ve been wanting for some time. The main artist was Tony Moore. His claim to fame is his work with Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead. I want to get a custom art, but he didn’t have the time to create what I wanted. Oh well. It would have been nice to walkout with custom art, but it looks like I’ll need to go to a large comic-con to get some custom art. All-in-all good fun on a Saturday. Better than being at home staring at the TV….beautiful HD TV.
If you have seen my previous site you’d notice that it had quite abit of Flash….go figure. The moment I finally have a website, Apple and Adobe start fighting. No flash on Apple products, great. So here it is tschafer.com ver 2: WORDPRESS and i love it. So take a look at my portfolio and my blog, which i will be updating continuously.
