How to use this Page

I have bought like ten copies of Pyongyang over the years (obviously all but one have been gifts)…it is my favorite graphic novel of all time…it’s an excellent read and the best of Delisle’s travelogue type books (Jerusalem is solid, Burma and Shenzen are ok)

I agree with commenter Alex, best graphic book I’ve read. “Paranoid Thriller” ? NOT! It took North Korea and not an intelligent movie executive to put a stop to that? C’est incroyable! Sounds like it would have made a terrible movie, and ruin the beauty of Delisle’s book!

Also… why not animated?

Dottie – I get what you’re saying. A studio exec should have killed the Pyongyang film. We shouldn’t have had to rely on NK to bring sanity to the situation. It’s a shame we didn’t have North Korea around to threaten to bomb any shop carrying the Panera “Doggy Style Masturbation” Spider-Woman cover, eh? We could have kept that thing from being released.

Well, at least once ISIS hears about this, Hollywood will stop making crap pro-war films like “Zero Dark Thirty.” Remember, all it takes is an antonymous threat against retailers and theaters. The Jesus-Freaks could have stopped Fox from airing “Cosmos” quite easily.

Well, since ISIS has been brought into this – I guess that it’s a good thing that Persepolis was made into a movie a couple of years back, as now it would be debatable whether Hollywood would have the balls to do that. *head desk*

The old wheel is just about crushing me at the moment, yet it gives me a strange pleasure to behold it in this rendition.

I'm really enjoying this "card" series.

wow that's really cool - great linework and 'old world' quality to it.

i am enjoying it too. luscious lips...mmmm

But why not 79?

Or even 179?

I bet you'd do an amazing Tarot card deck.

Is that a monogram growing in there?

Curiously joyful!

I admire the way you interweave the elements and use the space so that everything moves but is in its right place.

excellent work and all blogger

very nice art!

i like the many different elements coming together

Disturbed and wonderfull:)
Love your line work.

very inventive and creative.. the shading works really well here.

Oh, this is very cool.

Great work as always! I start draw with Copic markers too ;-)

Seeing as I'm not too sure what Copic markers are. I feel you might have opened up a whole new fucking vista for me here.

Technically and metaphysically.

And how come I don't get fit birds like J.Davila on my blog?

Oh yes, it might be to do with the fact that Prozacville attracts predominantly goths and self-harmers.

Ask a stupid question....

I heard that!

FY took the words from my mouth.
Great stuff

Why would Bill Gates want to see what everyone else is doing? He makes his own rules. Or, maybe he's just lonely-nah, he hangs out with Bono and Melinds (or whatever his wife's name is).

how can god watch what we're doing with that thing shining in his eye?

remember doing that to the teacher? i hated staying after school.

stumbled upon your blog. Really great work, very fun

Wonderfully surreal.

As others have said, great work. Reminds me of http://www.secondstreet.co.uk/ (whose work I really dig!)

Brilliant-it looks like the ciggie is sucking the life force out of Eddo.

AAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!! is that you, jacob marley?

fantastic. really. :)

Wild! Looks like a lion with human eyes (or devil eyes...) very cool!

I really like all the patterns of your piece. The dog looks seriously distressed. Is that swan attacking him or the other way around? :)

Proper blood sports this time.

hey, thanks for your words on my blog...Blue is my favorite, great style and feeling!

Salud!

Good job Ellis. Really love the colors and the pattern you get out from your brain.

A piece clearly fuelled by your Recent Art Rage experimentation. Interesting how you've brought the Rage out of the digital back into the painterly.

Well I think so anyway.

What the....? Ellis, I don't think I have ever seen a painting from you before; just your ink drawings. This is so interesting and cool! I love it!

Pervert.

I was at the metropolitan Musuem last weekend and saw the companion winged bull men from the same palace.

Great sense of form with this...really nice...
