Earth 2100

image

Over the last few months I've had the privilege of working with the post-production team at GuerrillaFx to create animated Graphic Novel elements for a very special television project called Earth 2100 for ABC News. Illustrations by yours truly as well as those of my studiomate, George O'Connor and Deep6ers, Tim Hamilton and Leland Purvis were all used to create these animations. This two hour television event uses these illustrated segments to put a human face to the predictions made by experts about the changes to our civilization and our planet over the course of this century.

SMITH Magazine Honors Vs.

SMITH Magazine, the home for the Next Door Neighbor webcomix series has posted a notice about the recent Eisner nomination. Jeff Newelt, SMITH Magazine Comics Editor, had this to say,

Eisner Nomination for Next-Door Neighbor’s “Vs.”

SMITH Magazine congratulates Joe Infurnari and Alexis Sottile on their Eisner nomination (think Academy Awards for comics) for Best Digital Comic for “Vs.,” their virtuoso contribution to Next-Door Neighbor, SMITH’s truelife webcomic anthology, edited by Dean Haspiel. “Vs.” is the tale of Joe’s nightmarish neighborly encounters, one after another after another after another. Told as an autobiographical monologue written in verse, juxtaposed with rabid remembrances, dizzyingly visualized like a sickedelic melange of EC horror comics, The Twilight Zone, and Universal’s Monster Movies meets Cronenberg and Lynch, “Vs.” has got to be seen to be believed (and you can believe it, because it all happened).

The above image is my annotation for the page at the top of this post. Now you can read a fully annotated version of Vs. at Act-i-vate.com! If you've read it at SMITH, now read it with all the supplemental information! It's like having the dvd extras for every page! Read my comments for fun factoids and real life anecdotes behind my neighborly misadventures retold in Vs.

If you like Vs. enough, please consider voting for it for the Best Digital Comic Eisner award. You can do so here:

Seth Kushner's Graphic Novelists: Day 49

Thursday evening I had the pleasure of being one of the subjects for Seth Kushner's Graphic Novelists series of photographs. Seth is the amazing photographer for the book, The Brooklynites, and has photographed numerous luminaries and celebrities for an extensive list of publications. His resume is impressive as are his gorgeous photos. It's been a real privilege to work with him and the above photo from our shoot is now up on his blog. While you are there, please take a look at any number of the other eyepopping photographs available there or on his site.
