David Chelsea has launched his new site – and in keeping with the tenor of the times, has uploaded a topical 24-hour comic strip to ComicLifestyle. Cheers!
“Jesusland was drawn in the immediate aftermath of the 2004 election, when Democrats were in shock and awe at how thoroughly John Kerry had been routed by the Republicans working off of Karl Rove’s playbook. Particularly shocking to me was how Protestant Evangelicals and The Catholic Church, which had always been historic enemies, now had teamed up to defeat a Catholic candidate. This fantasy about a battle to establish a state religion was my way of getting those two groups at each other’s throats again. Also it gave me a chance to draw President Bush as a rabbit.”

Hello with all, friends of Institut Pacôme,
Strasbourg inaugurates its first festival of comics/cartoon
(if one does not take into account the desktop publishing meetings which we have organized under the name of St PACÔME for now 5 years).
This festival is called STRASBULLES, and the site which is dedicated to it also presents the programme: http://www.strasbulles.fr
——————–
Having affirmed a modern festival would speak about all the spectrums of the comics, we proposed – Institut Pacôme , the Collective Troglodyte, and the Collectif des Amoureux, all three of Strasbourg, to organize a self-publishing space worthy of this name.
For that, we invited the LE NOUVEAU JOURNAL DE JUDITH ET MARINETTE like MISMA, structures of desktop publishing respectively of Rennes and Toulouse, to present a small panel of what is the state of current self-publishing, a sector in full effervescence since a few years.
A common Exposition entitled SECRETS OF THE LABORATORY will give a picturesque vision of the design (in all the directions of the term) that the artists of self-publishing are done of comics. Coloured Expo, accompanied by the realization into continuous Gazette of the Festival, photocopied in black and white, in the tradition of alternative editions.
On Thursday 18 starting from 19:15, to the LIBRAIRIE QUAI DES BRUMES (BOOKSHOP QUAY OF the FOGS), 120 Main street, the authors of the self-publishing will present their process and productions.
Included will be: Benjamin Adam, Daniel Blancou, Élisa Gehin, El gift Guillermo, Sebastien Lumineau, Ariane Pinel, Tofépi, trap and Sylvain-Moizie, officiating in the various collectives present. Freddy Nadolny Poustochkine [also?]
On Friday 19 starting from 13:00, Trade Union Room, a creative performance will propose to the authors to divert a page of the special guest of the festival to make three original pages of them. Diversions, joinings, pullings up, gribouillages, cutting or radical creation, all will be possible for the authors! The produced pages will be shared on the site thereafter.
In short, many things! Authors of the self-publishing having published in structures at national scale will dedicate their works on the stand of the associated booksellers entitled “Counter of Indépendants”.
Regarding the innovations to present for the occasion, Institut Pacôme GO:
One year under the sign of l’ exploration of new shores: Comix d’ Authors and creative review!

from Matt Hyunh: Seeing through ghosts, walking through doors
In the spirit of the ‘eBook’ format’s advocation of creating and sharing ideas, I’ve decided to –
+ release this little ditty completely free;
+ release this work’s hi-res images for use under the creative commons attribution-noncommercial-share alike license; and
+ open up some insight into my materials and process.
Enjoy!

This was pretty good fun. I got to chat really briefly about comics, then I set about doing this really fast sketch! Apparently the lines went mental with people ringin’ up to win the art. Well you get what you pay for.

Is it possible that works of art can have erotic and cultural value?
In the wake of the ‘Boobs on Bikes’ parade, come some rather literary thoughts about sex, ‘McPorn’ and the mass media from New Zealand’s Dylan Horrocks, on the ‘Sunday Breakfast‘ radio show.
