DouglasDanger

Are any of you guys nerdy enough to follow creators on their websites, blogs and journals and whatnot? I am!

I have a few bookmarked:
Warren EllisNSFW
James Stokoe NSFW
Bryan Lee O'Malley
Brandon Graham NSFW
Corey Lewis
Eric Powell
Sean "Cheeks" Galloway
Matt Fraction


Grant Morrison's page has not been updated in several years, but there is some neat stuff there.
Do you guys have any more?

You might want to nsfw Ellis' site, since he regularly posts batcock there when people mention that his site's NSFW.

KVW

You can pretty much type in any creator's name and a blog or site will come up for them. Here's a couple more for you, though.

Rafael Albuquerque - Blue Beetle Artist - Posts a lot of sketches, cover art, etc
Tony Daniel - Batman Artist - Posts a lot of sketches, cover art, etc
Neil Gaiman
Brian Bendis - His Jinxworld forums that he posts on
Peter David - writer of stuff

Christopher Priest

Now I'm in love with James Stokoe. so thanks for this thread.
Put some excerpts in the OP (maybe spoil the NSFW ones) so people can see who does what.

Servo

philip bond is one of my absolute favorites, even though he doesn't have a ton of work out. some of that site is nsfw.

FeathersMcGraw

Todd Dezago - co-creator of Tellos and The Perhapanauts
Colleen Doran - creator of A Distant Soil, has done artwork for lots of different series
Jeff Parker - writer for Agents of A.T.L.A.S., X-Men: First Class, The Interman, etc.
Paul Pope - not frequently updated, but it's usually interesting when it is

Munch

Ryan Ottley routinely posts stuff from Invincible, as well as things from his weekly sketch night.

Eric Canete (Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin) updates infrequently, but it's always good stuff.

Skottie Young (New Warriors, New Mutants) usually has some cool stuff up.

Cory Walker stopped updating his blog, but before that he did a sketch every day for a year, so there's a huge backlog of cool little sketches.

Cliff Rathburn (Brit) rarely updates, but I love his art so it's worth the wait.

Robert Kirkman primarily uses his blog to pimp his stuff, but he occasionally has something funny to say.

Benito Cereno (Tales From the Bully Pulpit, Hector Plasm) updates often, and is pretty funny and insightful.

Lux

Jon Rogers of Blue Beetle fame, though recently it's been overtaken by a work blog on the TV show he's working on right now.

Ellis' terrified me today.

The Insulted Lover

I grabbed a handful of my own semen out of Mother Teresa and flung it at the oncoming cops. They all got instantly pregnant and fell over. Even the men.

“I’ve had better,” said Mother Teresa, sparking a match off her nipple and lighting up a joint.

It was then I knew I had to kill everyone in the city. With my penis.

I flexed my flaming meathammer. The road cracked in half. The cops exploded. So did the buildings. Everybody died.

Except me.

Result.

The end. Fuck off.

Yeah, this one isn't much better. His explanation of why he wrote them puts them into context though.

Jesus Christ’s liver tasted of gin and semen. I gobbed it out on to the floor and looked around the control room. Somewhere out back, the Pope was still screaming. If I hadn’t punched the teeth out of the pirahna before I poured them up him, he might be dead by now. The only thing muffling his fucking noise was the mouthful of used condoms. The Virgin Mary came out of a side door with a shotgun. I bit off the end and spat it in her eye, laughing. “Virgin Mary my arse,” I said. “Any wife of mine coming home with that story would have been left out for the lepers before midnight. You like the taste of dadpaste and no mistake. I’ve chewed open your son and washed his raw meat down with a bottle of shit wine. What do you think to that?” As the Virgin Mary went down on her booted knees and skilfully guided my purple-headed battering ram past her prehensile tonsils, I looked at the control panel. There was a depression in it with a red button at the bottom with the sign DO NOT PRESS. At the last moment, I ripped my beef missile free of her vocal cords with both hands and shoved it down into the control console.
The world exploded.
And THEN I ejaculated.
The end. Fuck off.

if Ellis' next book was nothing more than a collection of short stories like that, I would buy it.

Psychotic One

Am I the only one here who admires Ellis, but does not want to be left alone with him under any circumstances?

Padre

Here's the old blog of the late Mike Wieringo. I never read many of the books he worked on, but I like his style. It seems very cheerful.

It'd be like that episode of The Shield where Vic sticks two gang-bangers in a cargo container and only one makes it out.

BTW, a lot of these guys and others are on MySpace.

I was recently introduced to the artwork of Chris Samnee and was blown away by his use of shadow and negative space. I was almost immediately ready to buy his artwork after seeing this piece with Snake Eyes fighting Storm Shadow.

Since there was some love for Jim Ottaviani over in the under the radar comics thread, I'm compelled to point out that he's got a blog now.

kdrudy

Surprised it hasn't been put up, but here is Frank Cho's site.

Definitely NSFW, Cho seems to have perfected the art of drawing gorgeous busty woman, I don't know anyone that does it better.

Someone else already wrote that book.

These dudes are becoming more and more Burroughs-influenced, and I am terrified. Moore took some technique, and that was cool. Grant Morrison pushed it a little further, and that was cool.

Now it feels like Ellis and Millar like to occassionally take the hedonism of it, along with all else.

But, uhh, yeah, now I'll contribute to make up for that off-topic post.

Some of these guys have amazon blogs, but I couldn't find a way to search through them all.

Jason Aaron's blog is pretty fun, but not a lot of updates.

but this post

this post

man

Munch

I dunno, I kind of get his point. He seems to feel that, if a comic entertains you, then it's done its job. Personally, I prefer to be entertained and be able to dissect a book for some deeper meaning or subtext, but there's nothing wrong with just making something entertaining. Which, it should be said, isn't exactly easy. There's a reason movies like Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and Predator are looked back on affectionately, and a whole slew of other terrible action and sci-fi movies aren't.

It kind of reminds me of debates concerning the validity of Dane Cook's stand-up routines. A lot of purists feel that he's a shitty comedian, lacking in any real substance or insight. But the dude draws huge crowds and makes people laugh, so hasn't he accomplished what he's set out to do?

Sars_Boy

he's saying that comics are medium where anything is possible and then saying only a certain kind of comic is valid

hmm

also he took that post down, so uh

who knows what happened there

Munch

I may not have read his post close enough, but that's not what I got from it. To me, he seemed to be expressing frustration with people slamming simple, but enjoyable comics for not being as cerebral or thought-provoking as others.

I enjoy a good hamburger every now and then. Nothing fancy, just a greasy slab of ground beef and a full compliment of condiments. If some dude came up to me and informed me that what I was eating as simple, trite, and without class or substance, I'd tell them to fuck off because dammit, a good burger's a good burger. I enjoy filet mignon as much as the next dude, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying something a bit less refined.

That's just what I got from it though.

DouglasDanger

You can read a ton of Hysteria! at Mike Hawthorne's site. He has a blog too.

I really enjoy his work. I need to get Hysteria some time soon.

I just found Garen Ewing via... hm. Whitechapel, I think.
