Comix Jamboree Nov. 17, 2007


And now for something completely different.
Yesterday (11/17/07), we had our November meeting of the Two Trees Cartoon Guild. It was a great time for all who attended. The four of us created an 8 page comic book in just a few short hours! Last night, I compiled the pages into a book to be called "Comix Jamboree" which I will be printing later. The cover price is only one dollar! If you want one, leave a comment on this post.
No children were actually hit with a boot in the making of this comic. I just grazed 'em!

Eternal Highway (Highway Star) - a movie demo

I made this back in August '07, I think.
For those who don't know my work, which is just about EVERYONE, "Eternal Highway" was a series of comic book stories I did back in the 1990's. It was about three guys in a car on a road trip to nowhere and their adventures.
Anyway, for the past 2 years or so, I've wasting a lot time on sim type computer games, particularly "The Movies" which lets you make your own movies. So one day it dawned on me that I can make an "Eternal Highway" movie with this thing. This was to be for my own amusement, of course.
The end result is very rough due to the limitations of the game and lack of time I put into it. I was debating whether or not I was going to post it or not. But I finally decided that even with all it's faults it should be seen by whoever might want to see this.
Perhaps, if some of you viewers want to see more, I will produce some new "Highway" material. And for those who never read the old "Highway" comics, now you know where the name, Frank Diddly, came from!

Oh by the way, I also did the music.
Just kidding! It's a song called "Highway Star" by Deep Purple from their album "Machine Head". It's a great album. You should go buy the CD.
In the old days, when I would fantasize about making an "Eternal Highway" movie, This was one of the songs I wanted to have in the soundtrack. That's why I used it here.
