Horror!
Two updates in a row!
First, my ramblings about The Spirit --
I've been a Spirit fan since i can remember... just love those classic typographic splash pages, noirish alleyways and beautiful hand lettered pages that Will Eisner created. gorgeous comic book artwork.
Well i had the displeasure of watching Frank Miller's film version on DVD, and it's so bad that i found it virtually unwatchable (i turned it off after about 45 minutes). From what i actually saw, the pseudo SIn City look is totally wrong for the tone of the film, and the tone of the film is totally wrong for (what i believe) Will was trying to do with The Spirit. The visual effects are shoddy, and the storytelling was absolute drek. Shame on Miller...i hope he does us all a favour and goes back to comics and leave the film making to the big boys.
Anyone else see it? Love to hear your thoughts and whether you agree/disagree...?
anyway, here's a quick sketch (NOT based on the movie;-)
A quick caricature of new Tonight Show host, Conan O'Brien:
Few more quick sketches of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel from that great classic show, The Avengers:
