Hold it to your ear…

Part of my office chair fell off last night. What will provide me with high tech lumbar support now?

It’s always a pleasure to see a friend teach well. So it was a good night at TES.

I’m late to the pod cast party, but now they are the soundtrack to my commute. Thanks, Thor for pointing out Bad At Sports for the art stuff. Most of what I listen to is heavily weighted towards comics and I just recently added Art & Story, which seems to me to be genuinely useful from the creator point of view.

The art and story site has a little brush inking tutorial on it which gave me a clearer understanding of comic inking than any of the dozen books I have on comic technique. Sometimes you just have to see someone else do it.

Similarly, a very nice class at TES last night. I feel bad that the increase in work responsibilities has curtailed my time with the organization, but it felt nice to be back.

The podcast thing – it’s a bit like my own privately curated radio station. I get accustomed to the personalities on particular shows, which means that I’ve been mourning the ongoing hiatus of The Buck and Bobaloo Show. Reading the blogs of the respective stars doesn’t quite make up for listening in on their cozy weekly byplay.
