A couple of things for today…

Item Number One:
John Mayer is one of those types of people that drive caricature artists crazy because there’s not really any super distinguishable features about him. Really. So, I chose to go with an older version of John when he was styling his hair very long and wearing ridiculously long scarfs.

Item Number Two:
Don’t forget, I will be at the Virginia Comic Con this weekend (with my wife) November 21 & 22. Click on the link to find out more information, who will be there and all the great things that will be happening. On Saturday, I will be on a panel about small press/webcomics so I’m really excited about that (and the fact this will be the first con that my wife will be able to participate in as well).

Item Number Three:
Are you into Podcasts? Do you like to listen to creators talk about their craft? If so, you might want to check out a little Podcast I’m co-hosting called Lightbox – Illuminating webcomics.

Item Number Four:
Okay… I just finished watching the movie “Australia” with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman and I’m really confused about something. Why didn;t this movie do better at the box office? Was it that the length of the movie was too intimidating for some people? Was it a matter of WHEN the movie came out? Personally, I enjoyed the movie and thought it had a really good “Dances with Wolves” kind of vibe to it – at least in the sense that it told a story about the natives of Australia in a very personal way. The story was expansive but moved at a pretty rapid pace… I mean, as much as I loved the Lord of the Ring movies, there were lots of places in those movies were scenes were pretty slow and methodical. I didn’t get the sense that was the case at all with “Australia”. And I could totally tell Hugh was in the process of getting ripped for Wolverine: Origins while filming that movie.

Anyway, I just really enjoyed it and was wondering what other people might have thought.

Okay… so there were a few more things than “just a couple”.
