So was in barnes and noble the other day and Gillian pointed out to me the womens interest section…. See below photo…

It is nothing but sex, weddings and hair as if this is all that women are interested in. When will this world wake up?

• @wardomatic hell I read an article yesterday where Cameron said he was deliberately going with a formulaic story cuz it was easier to relate in reply to wardomatic #
• @wardomatic and while Delgo was by no means a classic piece of animation it all came down to lack of marketing and poor timing on release. in reply to wardomatic #

Well peeps,

I got ahold of a bad pen apparently – but I called livescribe up and they had me a replacement super fast. I wanted to show you some more examples of what I’ve been doing.

I’ve been using it as a mix of freehand sketching with it and doing pencil first then ink over top of it – which works great actually. The main issue I’ve encountered with it is that it does not pick up very light strokes, so using a pencil first is key so that you know what you are “inking” over and can guarantee a solid line.

I’m going to be playing with the sound features of it… coming soon – I’m thinking voice over and sound efx for daily drawings…

here are some drawings from the site…

I came across this today and thought you all might dig it. It is a rather nice on camera interview with Miyazaki and Moebius together in France… worth a watch.
