I’m really enjoying these paper-cut shadowbox pictures made by UK artist Peter Slight. There are big ones and small ones, and he’s got other goodies in his Flickr portfolio as well.

Just a quick note to say that I'll be at the San Diego Comic-Con in support of my new book, FAT VAMPIRE.
On Sunday from 11-12:00 I'll be participating in a panel called Entertaining One's Inner Child in room 24ABC. Also participating will be Matt and Jennifer Holm (Babymouse), David Steinberg (Daniel Boom), Jimmy Gownley (Amelia Rules), Sina Grace (Among the Ghosts), and Greg Van Eekhout (Kid vs. Squid).
I'll also just be wandering around most of Saturday and Sunday, so if you see me please say hi. I'll be the guy who looks like me.

Are you ready for a double dose of ICON6?
Over the past couple of days I’ve posted Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the opening keynote address from theICON6 Illustration Conference, called The Future of Publishing, which brought together Wyatt Mitchell (Creative Director, WIRED), Kelly Doe (Art Director, The New York Times), Jim Heimann (Executive Editor, Taschen America), Jeremy Clark (Senior Experience Design Manager, Adobe), and Roger Black (Principal, Roger Black Studios).
Today I’d like to conclude this particular series with Part 4 of the presentation, featuring Jim Heimann of Taschen America, who introduces the controversial question of whether or not Illustrators should animate their work to maintain their relevance in today’s market.
In addition, you can listen to an audio recording of the panel discussion and audience Q&A session where some Illustrators expressed concern about the comments made about putting their work into motion.
First, here’s the video:
And here’s the audio from the discussion that followed:
You can find more of EFII’s ICON6 coverage here.
Special thanks to the following sponsors for helping to make EFII’s coverage of ICON6 possible:

After two days of painting, I've finished my newest portfolio piece. This was my first time incorporating texture/pattern overlays directly into my work. I'd like to explore that further, along with several other elements that make digital painting so advantageous to my process.

I created Carmen Carretta a few years ago for "Turtles On Parade", a fundraiser we had here in Stuart, Florida. She stands about 10' tall overall and is fabricated out of fiberglass, foam, epoxy, and acrylics. Great fun!

Oh, I forgot to mention…there’s another kind of caustic reflection that’s as near to you as your coffee mug: a nephroid caustic. That’s the name for the little shape that forms when sunlight slants into an empty cup or bowl.
These mathematical figures are called “nephroid curves” because they sometimes have a kidney-like shape, and they’re called “caustics” because they’re focused rays, so they could potentially burn something (but dang, the won’t keep my coffee hot).
Note that in the photo there’s also a caustic halo bouncing off the outside of the mug, too. Any time you’ve got glass or metal objects in direct sunlight, there will be lots of caustic effects all over the place.
The giveaway that it’s a caustic effect (as opposed to plain old reflected light or highlights) is that the light is focused into a definite shape with a bright line or edge around it.
And now you have a topic that you can try out at the coffee machine to find out who are your kindred visual geeks.

Just received my yardage of the Flying Birds fabric I ordered through Spoonflower. It is now available for sale in my shop. The scale is very large - each bird about 6" wide. I can't wait to find the perfect project for it.

As an art teacher and a comics fan, this is the Comic-Con panel that I am most excited to attend on Friday:
4:00-5:00 James Sturm and Scott McCloud, A Center for Cartoon Studies Conversation: Understanding, Making, and Teaching Comics— Join CCS co-founder James Sturm and Scott McCloud in a freewheeling discussion about transforming the unruly creative process into practical instruction. Plus catch a sneak peak of Cartoon College, the upcoming documentary about The Center for Cartoon Studies!
But, HEY COMIC-CLONE PARTICIPANTS, why attend a one hour conversation when you could take an actual comic booking workshop? I teach one at Art Center College of Design here in Los Angeles. Many art schools do! James Sturm’s self-same Center for Cartooning Studies even offers them
.
What’s that? You hate school and don’t like being told what to do? Then visit the library and pick up any or all of Scott McCloud’s comic book textbooks about comic books.

We still don’t know whether the new Looney Tunes Show for Cartoon Network will meet our lofty expectations, but I was invited to a screening this past week to preview the three new CGI Road Runner-Coyote shorts for theatrical release — and my verdict is in: They’re terrific!
Coyote Falls is the first one out (it’ll be attached to Cats and Dogs 2 opening next Friday, July 30th). These are three-minute, three-dimensional cartoons in widescreen (scope). It works perfectly for these characters – the feeling of space in the vast desert only adds to Coyote’s desperation. This time he has ordered an ACME bungee cord and has set up a birdseed trap under a highway bridge. It’s a “foolproof” plan that takes everything into consideration … except oncoming traffic.
The characterizations, posing, even the sound effects and music (by Chris Lennertz) are spot on. I especially liked the explosions, which in cg have a stronger impact and thus are funnier. The 3-D is even used to extend into the audience – something most modern filmmakers are loathe to exploit. At three minutes these films really are too short (I think some trailers are longer than that), but they show real potential. This is the first Looney Tunes short produced by Sam Register’s new Warner Bros. Animation division. (BTW, the film is simply a Warner Bros. Cartoon with no Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies designation). Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone are supervising producers along with Allison Abbate (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Corpse Bride, Iron Giant), Matthew O’Callaghan (Curious George) directed in respectful homage to Chuck Jones. The film begins with a very cool 3D CG WB-rings logo designed by Peter Girardi. Below is a 25-second clip to give you a taste – followed by three exclusive images (click thumbnails to enlarge).

These are lovely. A wonderful graphic flatness to it, but with a bit of unexpected depth.
So pleasant!
These are very nice. I really like the simple style. There's a very nice layering of depth as well.
Really nice artworks!
