Ukko and the Air Maidens

Ukko is the supreme god of the Kalevala; his air maidens look suspiciously like valkyries (Finnish and Norse mythos may have some cross pollination, I guess.)



Text reads,"Now I see where he got that stain on his pants."

Here's some more sticky discharge from the vaults

Son of Pohjola, Tuonetar

The son of pohjola is pohjola's son; Tuonetar is the goddess of the underworld.

Luke suggested earlier that it would be nice if there were some variation in line width in these. I think I was starting to get something like that effect here, since I was coloring in long black stringy bits that essentially start to look like thick lines.

Or perhaps I'm deluding myself.



The text read, "You still play with your ears when you drink your milk."

E.B.D is V.I.P! -the nominations are in..

And we got one! - - Crazy and weird, weird and crazy, or some combination thereof. Sean Duffield of Paper Tiger fame alerted me to it.I'm not sure how the nomination process works, but even if it's simply an open submission process, it's a cool thing to see our humble ( i.e, best in the world) blog listed in the "Favourite Comics Related Website" category..
We should all take a moment and vote for Duffield, E.B.D and Zeke on the Eagle Awards site.

Lovecraft Art Exhibit

The curator of the Museum of Science Fiction, Utopia and Extraordinary Journeys in Switzerland recently contacted me concerning an exhibit dedicated to H.P Lovecraft this fall in honor of the 70 year anniversary of his death. I wanted to pass this info along to everyone here at the Duckblog. I'm sure we're all inspired by Lovecraft in one way or another and this is certainly a great concept for a group art show. I'm going to be contributing work for this show myself and I encourage everyone here to take it into consideration as well. Here's all the details concerning the exhibit.

An exhibition of unspeakable things: Lovecraft's Commonplace Book

The exhibition concept, in brief:

"An exhibition of unspeakable things" is an exhibition project of the Maison d'Ailleurs, Museum of science fiction (in Switzerland), based on a text by writer H. P. Lovecraft's the Commonplace Book. This work by Lovecraft, consisting of ideas to be developed at a later date, will be used as the basis for illustrations produced by brilliant comics authors/illustrators. The exhibition will present more than one hundred original works by artists whose only common ground is to be willing to embark on such a delirious journey.

Exhibition organizer and location:

The Maison d'Ailleurs (http://www.ailleurs.ch), Museum of science fiction, utopia and extraordinary journeys, is a non-profit foundation with two-fold mission: that of a public museum and a specialized research centre. Founded in 1976, the Maison d'Ailleurs possesses a collection of more than 60'000 objects related to its theme of specialization. This unique museum is the only public institution of its kind in Europe.

Alongside the institution’s research pole, there is great public interest in the Museum as numerous temporary exhibitions are held that encourage visitors to explore major themes in science fiction (future cities, space travel, etc.) or to discover visionary artists, film-makers, sculptors, painters and comics artists such as: Caza, H.R. Giger, John Howe, Dave McKean, Luc Schuiten, James Gurney and many more. Since 1989, the Maison d'Ailleurs has produced more than fifty exhibitions, both within and outside the Museum, and has attracted the attention of the international press.

H. P. Lovecraft:

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 - 1937), an American writer, is considered one of the fathers of XXth Century weird and fantastic fiction. He is the author of over sixty short stories, a novel, as well as poems. Although Lovecraft had a hard life and died young, he is known today as both a pioneer and genius. He influenced many important artists and writers of our time: Robert Bloch, H. R. Giger, Philippe Druillet, Roger Corman, Stephen King as well as Fritz Leiber.

Commonplace Book:

Lovecraft's Commonplace Book is a written compilation of ideas: from 1919 to 1934, Lovecraft wrote down fragments, plot ideas and scenario outlines, all concrete elements he could put to use at any given time. The texts contain suggestions for story-writing (as many as 221 !) as well as a list of horror fundamentals, intended to stimulate the imagination. Today we would call them "pitches" for horror stories, accompanied by images, disparate quotes... This book totally immerses the reader into Lovecraft's world, almost as a witness to the birth of countless future stories yet to unfold. It is interesting to note that the Commonplace Book was actually used by other authors as a Lovecraftian source on which to base new novels and short stories.

The Commonplace Book was selected for the base of the exhibition as it sums up the work of Lovecraft remarkably well. Consisting mainly of short phrases, it is much easier to use as a source of inspiration for an illustration than a short story. The artworks produced for the exhibition will serve to “complete ” the ideas in the selected excerpt, to develop it or to bring it to life (in a quirky way or not!). Each artist can use the amount of text he desires.

→ Examples of the author's notes:

- "Man observed in a publick place with features (or ring or jewel) identified with those of man long (perhaps generations) buried."

- "Subterranean region beneath placid New England village, inhabited by (living or extinct) creatures of prehistoric antiquity and strangeness."

- "Ancient and unknown ruins—strange and immortal bird who speaks in a language horrifying and revelatory to the explorers."

- "Individual, by some strange process, retraces the path of evolution and becomes amphibious."

Copyrights: according to the leading Lovecraft scholar, the text appears to be copyright-free (the copyrights for Lovecraft’s work are very complex). Nevertheless, both the copyright agents for Lovecraft’s work in French and the publisher of the French version of the "Commonplace Book" have authorized the Maison d'Ailleurs’ creation of an exhibition based on these texts (as well as an accompanying publication).

→ A digital version of the text is attached. It also exists in its original English version.

Illustrations: number, type and format:

- As the Maison d'Ailleurs possesses approximately 250 m2 of exhibition space on three floors, a relatively large amount of artwork is required for "an exhibition of unspeakable things ". Participating artists are therefore encouraged to create several illustrations inspired by the "Commonplace Book". There is no limit as to how many!

- Both style and technique are open (black and white, colour, etc.). The works produced may consist of mere illustrated "notes" or sketches. Even if an "illustrative approach" is applied to Lovecraft’s ideas (as oppose to a "comic strip style"), it is possible to include speech balloons (text bubbles) or to make a series of images for one text fragment (but we do not need a comic strip...).

- In order to facilitate the project's organisation and to ensure a coherent overall aesthetic presentation, we have decided to impose standard format size for all illustrations: A5, A4 or A3.

- The author’s name and the reference number corresponding to Lovecraft’s note used for inspiration, must figure on each illustration, thank you in advance for your cooperation!

- Original works remain the property of the artists and will be returned once the exhibition has been dismantled. (Please note: it is probable that the exhibition will be presented in other institutions after the first public showing at the Maison d'Ailleurs.) Copyrights for artworks will remain the property of each respective artist, who must grant the exhibition organisers permission,free of charge, to include the works in the exhibition (for public viewing) as well as to be published in the exhibition catalogue.

- Costs for the transport of works, from the artists homes to the Maison d'Ailleurs and back, will be covered by the Museum.

The exhibition:

"An exhibition of unspeakable things" will be presented on three floors at the Maison d'Ailleurs, from the end of October 2007 to April 2008. Each illustration will be presented along with the note from Lovecraft’s text that served as inspiration (original scenography will be designed in order to do so). As well, the Maison d'Ailleurs will display rare documents linked to H. P. Lovecraft (such as a hand-written postcard from the Museum’s collections) or are related to Lovecraft's "universe". The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society will be one of the exhibition partners. A viewing of the medium-length film "The Call of Cthulhu" is planned. As well, it is highly probable that several writers will also contribute to the project.

Exhibition publications:

An exhibition catalogue is to be produced, presenting a selection of illustrations from the exhibition with the Lovecraft text that served as inspiration (in both French and English). Each participating artist will receive gratuitously a certain number of catalogues (the exact amount is to be determined). Michel Houellebecq, a reknowned Lovecraft specialist, has been asked to write the prologue of the catalogue.

Subsequent exhibition locations:

Several other locations/organisations have already expressed their interest in presenting this exhibition, such as the Fumetto Festival in Lucerne, in April 2008, as well as the Utopiales Festival in Nantes, in October 2008.

Fianancial support and budget:

At this stage in the project, it does not appear possible to remunerate participating artists (other than by gratuitously supplying a certain number of exhibition catalogues).

Why participate?

Not to become rich, obviously, but rather to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Lovecraft’s death, to receive a beautiful catalogue of illustrations, to join the group of prestigious artists participating in this group exhibition, to venture “off the beaten path” into the monstrously frightful, and to “bring to life” particularly horrifying or abstract situations.

Exhibition partners:

- Mix & Remix: initiator of the exhibition project, Mix & Remix (Philippe Becquelin) is a press and television illustrator. Each weeek, as political cartoonist for the magazine L'Hebdo, he creates comical illustrations on current news. His illustrations are also published in the French newspaper Courrier international and the Italian newspaper l'Internazionale. As well, his work was on exhibition at the Festival of Angoulême in 2005.

There is no natural religion! This guys is super organic, like flowers and trees and tumors.

A Pitstop

Despite the fact that I told Luke I might not be able to post for a little while, because I was too entrenched in projects, I decided I would post today since I just finished a run of screen prints based on a character in a new comic I just finished. The 6 page comic will be published in Bailliwik Volume 4 that comes out of Chicago and the first run of prints will be included in the first 50 copies of the book. I made 20 copies beyond that, so this is the largest edition I have done on the always-a-gamble-but-still-amazing Gocco unit.
This monster breaks off the largest mountain he can find and drops it on a development that is growing too fast above his cave home. Here he is on his way to crush them.

Hisi, Ilmarinen, 1-10 evil heroes

Hisi is the god of evil; he sends into battle 1-10 evil heroes, which are also pictured (3 of them, this time round.) Ilmarinen is a hero; he's holding a mighty magical item, apparently.

The evil heroes are done relatively small and sketchy; I liked the way it turned out, and tried the style again in some later drawings.



The text says, "Shouldn't we take that away from him?"

Knock by Knock-What

Finnish Mythos

Vainamoinen is a Finnish hero; we see him sort of standing there looking heroic and also on a sled. Ahto is the God of the Seas and waters. These and a lot of the upcoming drawings I copied from are by Jim Roslof, who used a lot more solid blacks than some of the earlier art did....



The quote says, "I am too busy to talk to Mommy right now."

The Old Man Who Had An Alcohol Problem And Began Growing Rapidly PAGE 2

Thoth

Thoth is god of knowledge; he looks like an ibis. A psychedelic ibis, in this case.



The text reads, "If we will not take you to Disney world, your grandparents will not get you a puppy." I don't really remember what that meant, if anything.

minions of set

Set has evil minions who take the forms of bears, snakes, people, and scorpions — you can actually make out the scorpion, much to my surprise.



Text says, "Today is a good day for sitting on laps."

posca punks

The top drawing was done on a sticker, the other two are sketchbook drawings.

Ptah, Seker, Set

Ptah is the creator of the Universe, Seker is the god of light (he's zapping some undead at the top, there) and Set is the god of evil and the night. Again, I didn't draw everything. And I used a lot more solid blacks in Ptah than I had up to now. I kind of like this one.




The text reads, "Maybe he really is the worst baby ever."

Bow to the Queen..

It seems every time I set out to draw very specific things in a very intentional manner, I end up with something embarrassing.Only seemingly innocuous activities like cleaning pens in the sink, and the accidental splatter that result are where I find what I'm after. Is it sort of hacky? Yep. I don't like feeling like I'm not responsible for all of it. I haven't really achieved, ( or is that a dead concept?) you know? I had a moment where I decided I was somehow being told to not try to control my art in such a severe way..

How about that?

I'm currently working on a mini-comic with no title. Short stories and single panel gag cartoons, all about cats and dating and dieting. I may call it "Cathy". Either that or "Pee Pee Doodlers for You!"

Isis, Osiris, Phoenix

Isis is goddess of magic and fertility; Osiris is god of nature and the dead, and a Phoenix is a magic bird.


Text reads, "Pretending to sleep is Daddy's favorite game."

This was the first drawing where I *didn't* try to copy every line of the original. Instead I picked a few elements (the snake from Osiris' hat, for example.) I don't know that it entirely worked in this one....

Operational Crazoid

I just completed this little comic for a Roctober/Chica-Go-Go project http://www.roctober.com/. It's Pedro Bell, best known for his Parliament/Funkadelic art work being interviewed by Chica-Go-Go host Ratso. Here goes a cool interview with Pedro Bell from an old issue of Roctober. http://www.roctober.com/roctober/greatness/pfunk.html What i particularly found cool was that Pedro Bell found some of his earliest influence from Ed Roth/Rat Fink stuff. http://www.ratfink.org/ Because of this, i decided to up the Rat Fink influence in my own illustration here. I do believe that you will find the strength of my own cosmic understandings here with a skinhead rat interviewing a crazy black artist with a marker bandolier.

A Troll Riding A Goblin

Here's a rough sketch for a detailed ink drawing I'm working on this week.

And be sure to check out Monster Brains this week, I'm doing a weeklong post dedicated to H.P Lovecraft related artworks.

Geb and Horus

Geb is god of the earth; Horus is a hawk-headed avenger, apparently.



Text is "You used to be oblivious, but now when I yell you start to cry." But he's actually gotten beyond that now, and when I yell he just ignored me again.

Anubis and Bast

Anubis, guardian of the dead, and Bast, cat goddess. We're into the Egyptian Mythos, now, in case I didn't say that....



The text reads, "You definitely made Mommy sick, but I think it is the cat who broke the phone."

Ra and Anhur

Ra is the sun god; he's shown zapping someone offscreen and on his sun-boat. Anhur is yet another god of war.



The text reads, "He almost exploded with excitement. He squawked and flapped."

The King and the Mockingbird

I thought I'd try something different and post screenshots to one of my favorite animated films which has been very inspiring to my own comic creations. I'm using a lot of these screenshots as direct inspiration for some panels in Hob Bob. I enjoy and am hoping to emulate the fantastic angular architectural scenery and the strange perspective of buildings seen throughout the film.

Here's a quote that sums up what the film is about. "Conceived in the late '40s by animator Paul Grimault and famed screenwriter Jacques Prévert, this was intended to be France's first full-length animated feature, but, due to budgetary problems, it was left incomplete until 1980. Today it's seen as having been highly influential on animation giants such as Hayao Miyazaki, and as proof that hand-drawn images deserve life after Pixar. A pompous, cross-eyed ruler--named "King Charles V + III = VIII + VIII = XVI"--is in love with a painting. The two-dimensional beauty, however, desires the dashing young chimney sweep in the frame next door. Drawn to one another, this pair decides to elope, stepping out of the paintings and into Grimault's endlessly bizarre castle/town. But a jealous portrait of the King gives chase, imprisoning the real King with a well-placed trap door. Grimault forsakes realism in favor of bold colors, disorienting shifts in scale and perspective, and a number of odd transformations (my favorite is when the King's throne becomes a carnival-style bumper car). Elevators look like beetles attached to telescoping cell phone antennas, buildings hang like barnacles from gargantuan Roman pillars," quote from here.









Here's 50 screenshots from the film...

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25 - 26 - 27 - 28 - 29 - 30 - 31 - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35 - 36 - 37 - 38 - 39 - 40 - 41 - 42 - 43 - 44 - 45 - 46 - 47 - 48 - 49 - 50

Hi, my name is David Paleo

"My body is my temple", yeah, good luck praying, chanting, spasms talking and don't forget the handling of snakes, you do gotta handle the poisonous snakes; me?, i think the body its a very poor organizer of the internal organs.

Jar it all!


















Ahem.

Hi again.

I am a cartoonist from argentina, and before you ask, no, i don't have a clue about any hypothetical argentinian comics scene, i guess i should get out more, but as a virile, outdoors man, i like to read about life to the fullest.


And as long as i'm blabbling about reading, i confess that i learnt english reading old Floyd Gottffredson's comics, i hope this fact somehow clarifies my constant enmanglement of the noble english language.


I was a artistic kid in a working class home, so my first inspirations came from the TV, all the classic Bob Clampett, Tex Avery & et all animation shorts that were the staple of kiddie programs back in the 70's, i will allways love those loonies.

Also loonies like Ornette Coleman, Raymond Roussel and Jean Dubuffet... and synthesis, i love synthesis!



For the sake of archeology, here's the first strip i ever published, in this "countercultural" mag called Cerdos & Peces, in the other side of the page where's my strip is, there's a W. Burroughs interview! This thing was actually sold in newstands, impossible to think of it now, when rebellion means a more agressive scheme to milk money out of your neighbour, Donald Trump's "you're fired" this age Marlon Brando's "what ya'got?". And no, i won't discuss my stupid alias of the time.








I was fifteen and obviously a delightfully charming young fellow, you could very well imagine the viciousness with wich ancient, frail patrician ladies went after each other in filthy back alleys, expensive false teeth clenched, swirling switchblades on a blueblood binge while pearl necklaces exploded under lashing bike chains, all over who would be honored with my presence at tea time.


But i was unhappy with my work, so i quit trying to be a pro and concentrated in just drawing. Fifteen years passed while i worked plenty of shitty jobs and drew all the time, housed a couple extra cuckoos in my skull clock in the proccess, wich lead me to draw long autistic comics with titles like Arachneed, Growing Frenzy and Draw Dust From The Droolers, that i rather doubt will ever see the light of day, all this while i developed a rainbow of vices wich, since slowly getting my life back in track five years ago i'm trying to shed away, i gotta do the comics!

Here's some new stuff













oh man... i'm gonna faint... did you read that? twenty years since the previous strip and i haven't progressed JACKSHIT! i'm a fucking moron! its the same old, "Todo pasa por el culo" (translated: "Everything -as in everything of substance, of meaning- goes through the ass") crap!! here's God: "Through the ass!!!" here's love: "Through the ass!!!" here's decency, gentlesness, reason, beauty, learning... "Through the ass with all of it!!!"


See ya at the other end.

Trolls & Other Stuff...

So, i'm working on more Troll pictures... using my favorite pen! The Sharpie Extra Fine Point Permanent Marker! Cheap! Easy to find! Nice line & nice amount of ink. I've tried pretty much every pen & marker on the market & this is my personal favorite. I'm in luck too, considering the prices & bother of alot of other pens. Anyhow, i wrote this piece for my friend Clint Marsh's "The Shrieker" Old School Gaming newsletter. It was fun to discuss stuff this nerdy!

So Many Rules… with Sean Goblin

I think I will do us all a favor in the beginning of this piece by warning you that I think rules & bureaucracy are two sins that are missing from the big list of sin. However, I’m also fairly obsessed with the idea of rules & making up rules to force on other people but then breaking them & reminding people that only fools follow the rules. It’s a trap I set for people. In all apparent ways I’m an anarchist, but there are too many rules in anarchism for me to deal with & there is no way I’m going to have some armchair politician or anyone else for that matter telling me how to behave. So, I’ve been re-reading a bunch of old Role Playing Games & after absorbing all the crazy artwork, the central impression I’m getting is that the rule systems are designed by foetal accountants & lawyers. 1st edition AD&D has been the most ludicrous to me so far, although I remember MERP being the most ridiculous rule set I ever bought. I understand that the goal of role playing games is to have a kind of managed make-believe where everything isn’t arbitrary & there are some structures as far as making it a cohesive & semi-realistic environment, but seriously. These rule systems are ridiculous. I find it comforting that the rule systems that made absolutely no sense or were obviously too complicated when I first started reading these books at age 9 are still nonsensical to me at age 30. I find myself thinking, “Who gives a toss?” & “Another chart?” Part of the issue is that good role playing comes from people who have a good understanding of how things actually work & then, how the fantastical would blend or intrude into reality & how to react. If you want to role dice & look at tables & follow the rules, you might as well do some actual gambling, get involved with market investment or become an accountant. There has to be some kind of a psychological problem with these imaginary rule followers. It’s a bit like the difference in intelligence between computers that can beat humans at chess & how even a baby can tell if their mum is mad at them. Math intelligence is more autistic & retarded, while social intelligence is more natural & complex. That said, it takes a large degree of social & intuitive intelligence to understand what “makes sense” in a role playing world, whereas your typical nerd needs the rules explained to them & they need a bunch of charts so that they can decipher what is happening to them in reality.

The times have changed though, the world is held together by a complex web of rules & bureaucracy. These are days of spreadsheets & computer dating, things we should be embarassed by, but have become the way of the West. The accountants are running things & we are the worse off for it. Those of us who like to keep all of the superfluous material small & easy to stomp to death are having a harder time of it. But I can tell that people want the old ways more than ever before. Me, my problem is that i’m a philosopher & a lunatic with an ironclad moral code, so not only do I not need rules, I actively think about them & how they are the wrong rules. With or without the rules, I will behave in the exact same way. I intuitively know right from wrong, I’m a warrior priest leading the tribe by the smells on the winds. Sure, I might keep a bespectacled chart checker on hand so I can make sure no one is stealing the onions, but in the end, I follow my nose & my gut, much like truffle hunting pigs in the wilds of France.

As far as I know, Role Playing Games always seemed like they were aimed at pre-teens, although I have no idea… pre-teens would like to know how the world works, but they also like to masturbate their egos in imaginary blood-baths, treasure rooms & the like. Apparently grown-ass adults like to do this too. The Role Playing Games do best when they are done in the spirit of great story-telling & exploration, not in rule jockeying & accounting. However, the success of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons does explain the success of Scientology & those silly magic how-to books published by Llewelyn, it’s all for cowardly nerds who don’t feel safe in the world unless the rules have been explained to them already. That’s all well & good, the world will always have its share of cowardly nerds & even a few lunatic philosophers as well, but look, you better side with me before it’s too late, the mists are thick, the oceans are rising & the moon is dripping blood.
