I have been blogging about digital technology’s impact on culture and our lives since 2007. I post when inspiration strikes as I’m working on various projects.
Plaster concert
Last night at The Drake Hotel, a friend and I got the fantastic pleasure to see Montréal group Plaster perform. Let me repeat myself; it was fantastic. They remind me of early Kraftwerk. I first heard about Plaster last year while listening to Radio-Canada's Bande à...
SpudCast #11 – Never podcast in a wind storm
Recording outside on a windy day is not a good way to record a show, let me tell you! So instead of re-recording it, I decided to keep it and set it as an example to all of you :) On this show, I talk about cartoons again with my friends, Carmine and Joanne. Or is it,...
Record sleeves and labels
Speaking of record envelopes (sleeves actually), Today on del.icio.us, one of the top websites listed was Record Envelope, the little library of record sleeves :) I am glad to know that I am not the only nut who's crazy about the minor details of collecting vinyl. And...
Do you like retro character design?
Retro 50s and 60s animated television commercial character design has been popular for quite a number of years now. I first saw it when Ren & Stimpy premiered and the style is still in fashion today, like on Fairly Odd Parents and in many portfolios of...
SpudCast#10 – How I became a spy catcher
No, I didn't actually catch a spy (though that would have increased my cool factor quite a bit). I recorded this show while a spy numbers transmission was playing over my shortwave radio! Spy numbers are safely assumed to be secret radio transmissions sent from...
SpudCast #9 – Stuttering
A little late in posting this but I've been exclusively blogging about Medieval Spud over the last 12 days. On to the show During that time, I had uploaded a new episode of SpudCast where I talk about my stuttering. ...And why, pray tell, have I ever thought of...
Medieval Spud – panel #12
The grande finale of my comic vignette, Medieval Spud. Now you can step back and take a look at all of them (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and whew 11) and tell me your theory by submitting your comments below. Or, you for convenience, you can go to the Medieval Spud...
Medieval Spud – panel #11
Here's panel #11 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. Right after I completed this, let the paint dry, inked over, scanned, resized, and uploaded to my site, I realized how cooler it would have been if I made Spud use a jet pack. Still, for the time, I'm sure...
Medieval Spud – panel #10
Here's panel #9 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. Now what is Spud up to? Is he... stealing? Maybe he's a spy. Who knows, I'm not telling... yet. There are 2 left (and boy am I tired of posting these!;)). What could the plot be? It's a fragment on an overall plot....
Medieval Spud – panel #9
Here's panel #9 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. I really like this one as it sets a mood of suspense. There's an intruder in da house! I really tried to make the scene dark but those darn watercolours... Yes, I blame them, not me. No. Have you figured out the...
Medieval Spud – panel #8
Here's panel #8 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. The plot thickens! Take a look at panels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 if you haven't already. There will be 12 altogether. Four more to go. [tags]medieval, spud, comic vignettes, watercolours, mystery, elephants[/tags]
Medieval Spud – panel #7
Here's panel #7 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. This one seems a little playful, doesn't it? Panels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have already been posted if you want to take a gander and figure out the plot. Each day I am posting the proceeding panel. Five more to go....
Medieval Spud – panel #6
Here's panel #6 of my comic vingette, Medieval Spud. Panels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 have already been posted if you want to take a gander and figure out the plot. This is the half-way mark as there are 12 in total. It's fun experimenting with comics and blogs. If only I had...
Medieval Spud – panel #5
Now just what is Spud up to?? Panel #5 of my comic vingette, called Medieval Spud. You can see panels 1, 2, 3 and 4 to piece together the plot :) In other news, as soon as I post this I'll be working out bodyweight style (that didn't come out right). [tags]medieval,...
Medieval Spud – panel #4
Panel #4 of my comic vingette, called Medieval Spud, starring, well, Spud. You can see panels 1, 2 and 3 to piece together the plot :) In other news, I'll be working on a new (regular) comic this weekend and plan on posting it asap. [tags]medieval, spud, comic...
Medieval Spud – panel #3
The 3rd panel of 12 of my comic vingette entitled Medieval Spud simply because I couldn't think of a better title :) While playing around with watercolours in my neat little Moleskine sketchbook (for watercolours), I thought of creating a 12-part fragment of a...
Medieval Spud – panel #2
The 2nd of 12 panels in a very short story (comic vignettes I'll call them) I will leave for you to figure out what is going on. Aren't I nice? Here is the 1st panel.
Medieval Spud
Over the next few weeks, I will post a fragment of my upcoming graphic novel/comic book panel by panel. Actually, it's not part of my book or maybe it will, I haven't decided yet but it's got something to do with the background stroy. Just like what J.K. Rowling did...
Improv Comics launches
A new feature has started here on SuperSpud.com: Improv Comics! Just like regular improv, I take suggestions from the audience for a comic I will draw for a set period of time. On Friday, August 31, 2007, I was on Twitter thinking of what to say. I was also facing a...
Your Blog This Weekend
Over at Chris Brogan's blog entitled "Your Blog This Weekend", he takes a break during the weekend and lets his reader post a blog post in the comments section of this post (how many times have I written "post"?). What a great idea! I'd do that too if I had lots of...
