The Ruined Cast

This site is going to be a tumblr soon, which makes sense since it was already sort of a tumblr anyway.  Meanwhile…

Frank Santoro has a comic book correspondence course. Here’s the info from the man himself:

SANTORO CORRESPONDENCE COURSE FOR COMIC BOOK MAKERS

SUMMER 2012 – Deadline for applications is May 30th

Application guidelines:

The new course begins June 4th. You can start late if need be. The course is a walk through my process of how to make a 16 page signature. Lots of fast drawing and composition. Lots of simple sequencing. We focus on timing. And color. And working in layers like a printmaker. If you are interested – please send me some work – small jpegs of things you have done. And tell me about yourself a little bit. There are ten spots open right now. I also need to see 3 figure drawings and 3 landscapes – all done on blank 3 x 5 inch index cards in direct pen – no pencil underdrawing. You should be able to do these 6 drawings in less than one hour. Draw fast and loose. Read More…

UPDATE:

Also, Tuesday October 25th at 7pm:

BookCourt with Danica Novgorodoff and Jillian Tamaki.

Yes, I’m taking a trip, flaked out and didn’t organize a bunch of Daily Drawings to be up while I’m gone. I’m going to LA. This Saturday, the 30th, at 1:30 I’m on a panel with Daniel Clowes and Jim Woodring, moderated by Geoff Boucher. Then, I’m going to Stockholm, then Pittsburgh, and then Oslo. I will have more daily drawings to post when I get back from all of this. Thanks!

The volume of Wholphin that has Unclothed Man on it is now available.

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to the Kickstarter so far!
