dolariThe only good thing about missing the comics this week about going to San Antonio for my first doctors appoint in forever, is taking the time to go to Hemisfair laza and take pictures of of the Tower of Americas and surrounds. This part of AWFW needs LOTS of photo reference, and I can get all I need while I'm there.
You know, after feeling pretty down about missing the comic, and feeling like a real heel, something comes along and makes it better:
Look! It's me! That's ME! In someone elses comic. That's a really wierd feeling, but a nice one. I don't look half bad. :)
This weekend has been spent, well, drawing AWFW then trashing it. But besides that, I've been watching the COSMOS miniseries. Carl Sagan wasn't joking when he called it Cosmos. EVERYTHING is in that DVD set. I mean EVERYTHING. Quasars, Atoms, Philsophers, Brands of Dog Food, The 1956 World Series and Spacom.
If you took this DVD set and James Burke's Connections and put a man and woman on a desert isle with a DVD player, you could make a super intelligent civilization that could (nay, would) destroy the known universe through the power of the mind alone.
So to allow my brain time to comprehend and digest, I spaced out all 13 hours of Cosmos with Doom 3. No really. :)
One thing about Cosmos I really liked, was the set design for "The Ship of the Imagination." It's very big, and very sparse. And very "thin" where things flying by make light changed against the walls and the like. And Carl is not only a great scientist, but a wonderful actor. He really looks like he's marvelling at the wonders on his 70s era backlit projection screen.
BTW, I've gotten some panicked responses to my announcement about "having an end for Closetspace." Well, Closetspace WILL end, just not anytime soon. The thing is, for a "Finale" I'll need all the time I can get to do it, since it will probably be an animated video of some sort. I've talked with Nikki, and musically, it's possible. There may be a run through with a Flash version of Girl in the Corner, if I can come up with some visuals for it.
I also got in the mail, a copy of 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee which is a pretty rare Monkees special. It was NEAT to see, but so incredibly psychadelic that it really was meant to be seen only while on some sort of mind altering material. The coolest part of the whole thing., though was the "Listen to the Band" finale, with parts of the song being layered on top of each other until they had a whole Big Band Feel to it. Although it tended to degenerate into a messy jam session, it "fixed" itself several times until it turned into a psychadelic jam.
It also has the most surreal scene of Jerry Lee Lewis, playing a piano on top of a piano being played by Fats Domino playing on top of a piano being played by Little Richard.
And my fave Chinese Food place reopened! ROCK! Super China is open for business! WOO!
