Flashback!!!

i always love it when i find a kindred spirit in my fave mags, musician, celeb, etc. the below post is a perfect follow-up to my Heathers-themed art jam painting. I, too, fell in love with skater boyz after watching gleaming the cube - if u know the movie - slater's character falls for a vietnamese chic...um, hello! talk about signs...

do do check out pump up the volume...it's slater at his introverted angsty best...

I just finished checking out the Missbehave Newsflash: Boys! Boys! Boys! which took me on a flashback. The roots to all my boy crushes….CHRISTIAN SLATER. Couple years ago, I blogged about the movie Gleaming the Cube (where my love for skater boys officially blossomed) here on Missbehave. Christian Slater played a HOT skater looking for justice for his step brother’s death. Girls! I’m thinking some of you weren’t even born when this movie came out. If you haven’t watched it yet, GO RENT IT STAT. After you have watched Gleaming the Cube, then you can move on to this next movie. Pump Up the Volume.

Remember how during the teen years most of us went through some awkward stage where we couldn’t relate to your parents nor your school mates? Where we were rebelling against something? Trying to break out and find our true self? Christian Slater plays a teenager, new to town, loner in school who has a radio system set up at home where expresses his teen angst on an unauthorized radio frequency at night. Nobody knows who the radio host is, but slowly starts relating to him.

I haven’t watched this movie since I was in my late teens. I remember relating to it back then. It’s just a must watch Slater movie…after Gleaming the Cube.

Eugene

Eugene was the inspiration for my very first two comic strips - the ones before the Deep Web one in the previous post. initially, i was racking my brain trying to think of something clever, smart, weird, whatever to draw and write about, but after learning about Harvey Pekar's quotidian life approach to his work i decided to look to my own and lo and behold humor in the form of my husband...in a good way, of course. i think i could prob get at least one good one a week...well, at least one good perspective on something, not sure if i will manage to translate that into a good cartoon. but we shall see.


my form is still pretty messy. my typeface isn't really thought out. to speech bubble or not to speech bubble? i'll just figure these things out as i go along. if i think too much of anything i'll get overwhelmed...but, anydoodles, here's the second one. hope you like it

With this very fine and inaugural cartoon, eug's webblog hereby goes legit. All's fair game for representational treatment (this one from this post) from here on out. Keanu's pizza delivery, post-greatness, pre-renaissance? Zoho's salacious love affair exposé? It's all coming up.

Mom's Blingee Bday

This is oddly ADDICTIVE! and great to fuss with when you just can't be bothered to get creative. also good for a lazy/hungover saturday afternoon. or perhaps a wine-filled evening at home alone or with friends. perhaps there could even be blingee gatherings. perhaps not. anyways, iz fun time fun times most any time

The Quotidian Life

I've been trying to improve my drawing skillz lately and have been really getting into comic book style illustrations...Daniel Clowes, Charles Burns, Ralph Steadman, R. Crumb...and when I saw the American Splendor titlle sequence on artofthetitle.com I googled Harvey Pekar and spent part of the day just looking at his work and reading interviews like this one...

anyways, i really liked this...

It all comes down to how you carry yourself. With confidence one can carry anything off.
I mean this is some serious new-rave gangster shit.
