TOON ART WRAPUP

TOON ART WRAPUP
And that's it - all the artists showcased in the book Toon Art published in 2002 (which you'll find under the #ToonArt hashcode thingie). After sixteen years some have changed greatly and others are just as notoriously and famously obscure as before!

But it's been fun reviewing this, especially seeing what has survived and can still be read and enjoyed. Good fun.

And one I missed, because it was on an introductory page and nowhere else.

Scott McCloud is perhaps one of the most widely known proponents of comics and webcomics, who pioneered writing about comics in an academic way, in same medium (Understanding Comics, the invisible art). Since Toon Art he has produced two sequels to that work, with occasional lecture tours.

McCloud was also the principal author of the Creator's Bill of Rights, a 1988 document with the stated aim of protecting the rights of comic book creators and help aid against the exploitation of comic artists and writers by corporate work-for-hire practices. He also coined the idea of a 24-hour comic, a complete 24-page comic created by a single cartoonist in 24 consecutive hours.

I've been reading the comic version of this, which in my uni's library. Basically it's about the main character being possessed by a being called Genesis, and who is hunting down God so he can get an explanation from about why everything is the way it is! He has a couple of companions, a more or less girlfriend and a more or less undead Irishman.

It's mostly an excuse for scenes of debauchery and ultra violence, dick jokes, piss takes of various conspiracy theories. I like Steve Dillon's artwork, and know him mostly via work in 2000AD. Still got two volumes to read.

So far I've found of reviews of artists featured in the 2003 book Toon Art rather interesting. Some have gone on to make careers for themselves, others seem to have just dropped out, some are still there doing more or less the same thing, and others have gained success in other areas such as animation and film. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the artists featured, and look forward to seeing where the remainder are now.

In its time it an award-winning, partially Flash-animated film series by Brooke Burgess, Ian Kirby, and Andrew West (wikipedia). First published in 2001, it is one of the earliest examples of a motion comic. Like a comic, characters on the most part remain in static poses and dialogue is indicated by speech balloons. Nowadays you can use a number of apps to create the same - Madefire and MotionArtist for example - but back in 2001 this was wasn't common at all.

Unlike Fun Home, which was brief but succinct on drawing a snapshot of Bechdel's father, this drags on with an orgy of overthinking, psychoanalytical fantasies (do we really care whether Virginia Wolf ever met Donald Winnicott) and dithering about whether Bechdel is really writing about her mother or really herself.

There might be real gems of storytelling and memoir in this, but there weren't enough examples of that for me to continue.

"My name is Kirk, James Kirk..."

I bought a new media centre from BIG W to replace my ageing PVR and media centre in the Bedroom.

I bought a new media centre from BIG W to replace my ageing PVR and media centre in the Bedroom. II still have an old style TV in the bedroom. It does the job, but to use those and the DVD player I have next to the TV, I have an AV switching box with three positions, and expects to see AV plugs going in and out.

The old media player - a Phillips, about 4/5 years old at least - had an video jack-to-3 AV plugs cable and that's worked fine since whenever. The new MMC - a Laser B-18 - has an AV jack port in the back, so I expected it to plug in fine. NOPE! Instead I got an interference pattern on the Bedroom TV. I tried plugging it in (using the same cable) into the Lounge Room TV and there was a barely recognisable picture with the status bar showing SECAM down the bottom!

Now SECAM is the French TV standard!!!!. I was able to plug the B-18 into the Lounge TV via HDMI3 and it came up crystal clear, so it was a matter of some issue with the AV cable. After a search on the LASER website I found the following in the Q&A:

Why does the 3.5mm stereo AV cable I bought at the store not work on my media player?

The standard length of a 3.5mm audio jack is 14mm but this media player requires a longer jack of 19mm which allows it to also accept a video signal so a compatible cable is required. You can purchase the cable as it is sold as an accessory on the product information page of your device on our website.

????!!!!! And it WASN'T included with the B-18!!!! No wonder the things are marked down from $168 to $118.

Admittedly they DID include a HDMI cable, but I'd rather use the tech I have, rather than run out a better TV (which I'll do once it dies) so instead I ordered a couple of these from the site. Why bother? Why not just return the bloody thing instead? Because I did test it on the Lounge TV with the external drive I use with the Phillips and it ran really well.

It can record live TV, and has a wifi/lan net connection. It runs ANDROID 6.0 and you have a bunch of apps to do everything. In particular it has Miracast, so I can hook it up with a smart phone or tablet; KODI (formerly XBMC), an open-source media manager that plays (via plugins) almost everything!; three USB ports to connect storage and input devices (they were selling an "air mouse" as an accessory) to. You can also access Netflix, Youtube, and Crackle directly, the are apps for 4 of the 5 free to air catch-up sites, and also the Android Store, so you can get other apps top do other stuff on it as well.

Let you know how it goes.

I finished watching the 3rd and final system of Defiance last night. I was pleased with the finale which did a good job of wrapping things up. I've enjoyed watching the whole series as well, because it was mostly character driven, with one outlandish thing after another stirring up the townsfolk. Good stuff.

Your goal is simple.

Your goal is simple. Destroy red in as few moves as possible. When you click a stone, it rotates clockwise. The stone that it points to is converted. For each stone involved, any stone that is either pointed at or is pointing to a green stone will be converted. The rules are simple. The strategy required is not.

Conveyor Spares

Conveyor Spares
A game based on Pipes. A double layer conveyor system. The lower conveyor has to transport the goods to the packaging machine and the upper conveyor transports the packed goods.

Like Packin Plax', this game was originally made for the Caiman TPS Total Pack contest 2006. You can find some of the entries for that by searching "site:http://www.caiman.us TPS Total Pack" on Google. I download a set of games from the winners way back in 2007, but I think that this a PP are the best. I'll link to some more in the comments.

This makes a lot of sense as to why the prims in Second Life / OpenSim in particular, were used - because they could be easily manipulated by scale and iteration. It also explains Sculpt Studio (see https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sculpt-Studio-Mesh-Studio/356396) in Second life, where you visually arrange the points of the mesh.

Where it's lighter.
Linger on over here.
