I've moved. <br />

See you there...<br />

I never really expected to enjoy the Florida Disney parks as much as I do.<br />
<br />
Infact, in my younger days I was dead against the idea of them. Why, I'm not quite sure. I think my opinion was that it was the epitome of phony corporate America that only existed in order to convince us that our own 9-5 lives were actually sane in comparison or something like that.<br />
<br />
Wow, wasn't I the young hotshot thinker. I think I was more of a grumpy old man at the age of nineteen that I'll probably be by the time I'm old enough to be considered a grumpy old man.<br />
<br />
It's odd to walk around these parks though.<br />
<br />
I could still hear the nineteen year old version of myself ranting away somewhere.<br />
<br />
"Grr, what is this corporate crap. Look at us all, might as well be on conveyor belts as we're ushered around so we can throw what pitiful amounts of money that we earn at this gigantic great monster that is "Disneyland". What are we? Mindless robots?".<br />
<br />
Thankfully though, we don't always have to listen to his crap. What a bore.<br />
<br />
Anyway, being an Illustrator, it's kind of hard not to be captivated by much of what these parks have to offer. Even though I've always been more Looney Tunes, Warner Brothers than Silly symphonies, Walt Disney.<br />

<br />
In a bid to stave off this most unwelcome state of being, I have taken to pulling out all my old art books and graphic novels in a bid to see if I can't jump start a bit of enthusiasm to pick up the pen and pencil once more.<br />
<br />
One of the first things that I plucked off the shelf was "Life in Pictures" by Will Eisner, a largely autobiographical graphic novel which tells the story of his early attempts at breaking into the comic industry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAf8uYObwpSLW0kKpcL_NQzbDKTzorJIK0wQ7mLWXHeQtbI5wJFvQFmg_pgiF_H4-NCRd9NNk9BoADnzdl_UuY3iZtQHGC8Yll2UMLqi0MPkgGzwTPVeK1q0PZtOTEBO5ITD6/s1600/eisner3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAf8uYObwpSLW0kKpcL_NQzbDKTzorJIK0wQ7mLWXHeQtbI5wJFvQFmg_pgiF_H4-NCRd9NNk9BoADnzdl_UuY3iZtQHGC8Yll2UMLqi0MPkgGzwTPVeK1q0PZtOTEBO5ITD6/s320/eisner3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As I said at the start, I've been going through a bit of a creative lull recently. Everyone who has been through this will understand what I'm talking about. Every time I've picked up a pen recently, every attempt has just felt so stiff and unnatural which makes even the slightest thought at going to the drawing board extremely unappealing.<br />
<br />
All this was to change though as soon as I began to flick through the pages of this book. With each page that I turned, I began to marvel more and more at the seemingly effortless flow of Eisner's illustrations, the attention to detail, the uncanny expressions of the characters.<br />
<br />
So, pretty soon my inertia had all but disappeared and I was back to drawing again. After all, when the world has given us guy's like Will Eisner to be in awe of who leave us all trailing in their wake, there's really no excuse at sitting around complaining about a lack of inspiration.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYgzcS_Ye7fQ-xcaLQmizhIUKHnMj_n9UkooopK4PCMA0goblymbeioU2AhsJWj2KaN7nHtMfJ9xdN8nknVNnjZBt9IDLe5w8FaEGbGXk3EdwppyOb7mtObj8bmumoGDlFBQxZ/s1600/eisner4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYgzcS_Ye7fQ-xcaLQmizhIUKHnMj_n9UkooopK4PCMA0goblymbeioU2AhsJWj2KaN7nHtMfJ9xdN8nknVNnjZBt9IDLe5w8FaEGbGXk3EdwppyOb7mtObj8bmumoGDlFBQxZ/s320/eisner4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Not only was Will Eisner a fantastic Illustrator, he was also a master of storytelling with all of his characters tales weaving into one another.<br />
<br />
So, if you haven't got this book, go and buy it. Open it and allow yourself to be transported into the world of Will Eisner. And if you already have it, read it again. I assure you, there will be parts you've missed the first time around that you'll discover and the rest that you'll marvel at all over again.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm not sure that anyone is quite sure what he meant by that. I think the gist of what he was getting at was that it doesn't matter that a billionaire with a high stake in a corporation only has to pay 15% on their capital gains tax(which is the money they make from basically doing nothing) while the average family pays more than double that amount because "there people too". So therefore, the money goes straight to "the people". Or maybe the corporation give it straight back to the people?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
"Henry Ford didn’t invent the motor car, Rockefeller didn’t discover how to crack crude oil into petrol, Disney didn’t invent animation, the Macdonald brothers didn’t invent the hamburger, Martin Luther King didn’t invent oratory, neither Jane Austen, Tolstoy nor Flaubert invented the novel and D. W. Griffith, the Warner Brothers, Irving Thalberg and Steven Spielberg didn’t invent film-making. Steve Jobs didn’t invent computers and he didn’t invent packet switching or the mouse. But he saw that there were no limits to the power that creative combinations of technology and design could accomplish."<br />

If you want to paint an accurate and insightful picture of who you are then you must also embrace what you do like.<br /><br />I agree.<br /><br />Still, why I should think that anyone should care who I am or what I stand for is anybody's guess.<br /><br />I am a supporter of Hugh Laurie.<br />All round good guy! At least, it's nice to think that he is.<br /><br />He has won many awards in his time as an entertainer but perhaps one of his more surprising bit of recognition was his GQ award for "Musician of the Year", which was presented to by his one time university buddy and long time partner in comedy 'Stephen Fry'.<br /><br />Upon giving him the award, Fry commented that his friend Hugh had always had a natural ability for music but more importantly, he had a natural love of it.<br /><br />I've heard that a lot recently. The idea that enthusiasm and love of a vocation is very often more important that natural ability.<br /><br />I find that reassuring.</p>Gregorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03100701387280083017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36717892.post-32686073151334708932011-08-27T10:30:00.001-07:002011-08-27T10:30:32.985-07:00Rupert takes to the ropes...<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gophers_pics/6085710775/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6192/6085710775_3c65f8a9a9.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gophers_pics/6085710775/">Rupert takes to the ropes...</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gophers_pics/">World of Gopher</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> This guy , his son and his now defunct newspaper "News of the World" have been in the headlines a lot due to a phone hacking scandal in the UK which continues to threaten to spread overseas to the grand old U.S of A.<br /><br />Not his biggest fan but thought he had an interesting face to draw.<br /><br />It's important to remain impartial at all times when illustrating these characters. every responsible illustrator knows that.<br /><br />Still, He does have a kind of weather beaten look about him which I can only assume is due to him having a rough night after collapsing in the street due to a sudden attack of Botulism poisoning which would have clearly led him to have to crawl around in a back alley while racked with fits of projectile vomiting, grabbed by vicious cops and whipped on the shins with night sticks, then locked in the a drunken cell of the local jail where he was abused all night by intoxicated wino's.<br /><br />Shame.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gregorlouden.com/" rel="nofollow">www.gregorlouden.com</a></p>Gregorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03100701387280083017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36717892.post-56034222245978328992011-07-10T14:32:00.000-07:002011-07-10T14:32:08.331-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglI9R5FzyWix7N9ctYS5xRatbgmMT6KBhyn55IMwNNyU4plkp4i2Oq9g_eGmgj_lmiNns3uzkWfrgNqFj6m2enhGoJvpc1Habk-vWYUjJ2mMaW53SCJA3kj1Gb-0ysM-5Z9Mda/s1600/florida-2011-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglI9R5FzyWix7N9ctYS5xRatbgmMT6KBhyn55IMwNNyU4plkp4i2Oq9g_eGmgj_lmiNns3uzkWfrgNqFj6m2enhGoJvpc1Habk-vWYUjJ2mMaW53SCJA3kj1Gb-0ysM-5Z9Mda/s320/florida-2011-9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Is Lindsy level-headed?<br />

<br />
I've been keeping a low profile of late. Started working with a new company called 'Clear Pixel'.<br />
<br />
Having a brilliant time! With regards to being allowed to be creative, it's the most content I've ever been by about a million miles.<br />
<br />
This is one of the concepts I've been developing for them. We're in the process of creating a "floating design agency in the sky"<br />
<br />
I hope you can all fly up and visit.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm intending to have this piece where I fill the whole page with objects with no white left at all.<br />
<br />
If anyone wants to suggest some random objects to draw then that would be amazing. Could be more interesting that if I was just to think up objects by myself.<br />
<br />
I'd probably just end up drawing the same stuff that I always do.<br />
<br />
The objects can be as random as you like. They don't have to related to what is already on the page.</div>Gregorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03100701387280083017noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36717892.post-68150512720927499002010-09-30T03:17:00.000-07:002010-10-01T00:39:50.722-07:00I.F.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMel8ZRDONywGBko8Vc2Yy8wsJpqapOQ-5QxDpgvxCwUBAmnGSWQzUQig4qvtp_JL6YCiASBh2x4RbbnqC3T-CZkNJLM_WwQ0TJccZS9wgo19ZpzWigE25hGKQc2yS2HhzLAg/s1600/theoneswhowouldbekings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMel8ZRDONywGBko8Vc2Yy8wsJpqapOQ-5QxDpgvxCwUBAmnGSWQzUQig4qvtp_JL6YCiASBh2x4RbbnqC3T-CZkNJLM_WwQ0TJccZS9wgo19ZpzWigE25hGKQc2yS2HhzLAg/s320/theoneswhowouldbekings.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
