State of the Rob 02092009
* This past week's really just been about work, work, and also working. The day job's been busy and I've been churning out pages at night.
* Lots of art to put up this week! Keep your eyes peeled! We'll see if I actually scan it in and post it, huh?
* Katy got me the 2009 Illustration Now daily calendar from Taschen and I love it! There's all sorts of fantastic inspiration in there.
* MIA's outfit on the Grammy's? Win.
* TV on the Radio on SNL rocked the house down.
* A good friend of mine got let go from her job last week, which was bad enough, but then some blogger made a really obscene post about it, as her job was fairly high profile. I really weep for humanity whenever I come across troll-ish things like that. She's a very capable person, though, and is already landing on her feet, and the blogger mocking her situation still lives in his mom's basement, so the universe has its own way of working things out.
* Links!
* Inking interviews with several of my favorite cartoonists at one of my favorite blogs, Comic Tools!
* Inking tips by the incomparable Michael Cho!
* A ton of cover paintings from The Shadow!
* Lettering legend Todd Klein examining the logo and cover design for Watchmen and also talking about working with Dave Gibbons!
