Hear Me Roar

… or hear me speak. There’s two podcasts now of the IA Summit talk we did in March. Livia Labate kindly posted some recordings including our session. AOL Mountain View also has an interview with us. Surprisingly, I didn’t say “um” a lot, but I do need to work on more varied intonations.

No Designer Artists at E3?

I wonder where all the funny game designers are if not E3. I was thinking a great addition to the Off Panel line of comics would be a webcomic that’s about the mechanics and design of games. Not just videogames in general but the mechanics of it like my friend Wyatt’s blog but in comic [...]

Must See Movies for Comic Storytellers

Peter, who’s seen 75 of the 102 movies list, took the time to filter out the list to what he deems absolutely necessary watching for the comic artist. I’ll get right on this as soon I get myself a TV and then I’ll hopefully do a weekly showing or something.“2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) Stanley [...]

Connecting with Comics and Dodging Dodgeball

8 Presentations in 20 Days

I was happy to help get some of our work at Yahoo! accepted into the IA Summit - we’re presenting a 45min session on Communicating Concepts through Comics and doing a full day workshop where we teach people to use the technique. There’s also [...]

Mentions of Kevins

Today, I found a blog that was aggregating Kevin blog entries out there and he made a pretty extensive list, too. He mentions my OK/Cancel presence but I guess didn’t discover this one (or realized they were one and the same). Given how common the name is, it’s pretty impressive he did this.

Speaking of mentions, [...]

Webcomics and Weblogs

I’m sitting in BarCamp which can only be described as a major conglomeration of geeks. There are, and will be, some interesting discussions. Currently, the discussion is about Blogging for Profits. The more this discussion unfolds, the more I start to recognize that webcomics have paved the way. Sure, there’s podcasting and video and endless [...]
