Recap 2012-2013 or what I did on my summer vacation

Yes, I haven't posted anything in two years.
I know, I know explanation sounds always like an excuse, but since I am stubborn and believe that bullshit gets you nowhere, let's do a short update on past two years.

Been more active in comicpunks mainly writing blaxploitation about Neda Ebony
Illustrated by my sister in crime Rama.


Still writing the noir horror thing and also now-in-public-domain-in-Europe characters script (this one I have tried to train drawing too, Crom help us all) and am working on an adventure story about man-eating tigers and porn stars.
And because my potential publisher is one of very few people reading this, get over the sex thing all right?
I am talking about something that has an actual plot and more a kin to Corto Maltese except in modern times.
Think more Amelia Earhart and Frida Kahlo and Nellie Bly then silicone tits galore, ok?
And when have I had a bad idea?
And once you stop laughing and can read again: storywise.

Yeah, I'll wait.

During past two years there are at least two 20+ page comics that are totally finished but unpublished, recession is everyone's friend right, and at least 100 pages worth scripts that are still in process of drawing with artists.
The few pages I have seen look great.
And few came back from publisher's with polite declination: not this time.


Personal life 2012-2013: Besides the usual cuts, bruises and burns I lost a few dear pets and even more human friends: 3 suicides, 2 vicious cancers and apparently one brain hemorrhage. And my  dear close friend´s parent was murdered, more specifically beaten to death.
 But since that's easy during 2013 3 of my friends got divorced or are still in process of that and I followed them in to the ranks of single men.

Other than that: it's been swell.

But like my maternal grandmother said ( no, not the "are they human or men?" line ) "no one gets more trouble in life that they can take".

And next weekend is going be good. I am supposed to meet with Tuomas Myllylä. He is not just a great guy as a person but also comic creator of bad-ass historical fiction.
The second part of Pakanat (Pagans) is finally coming out next saturday.

Smart viking revenge tale with human-sized people, done with heart. Highly recommended

I'll try to return in a bit less than two years time. No promises though

Your pal,
Curtvile

Senseless and insensitive



Some time ago there was Helsinki comic festival and this week-end it was Turku international book fair and being nerdy geek I took part in them.
Both got my creative juices flowing once more and forced me to revise some of my previous ideas.

Including making comics in the first place.

Those outside of Finland will probably not realize exactly how closed the market is and how formulaic they are.
There are few who do publish stuff beyond genres of humor and artsy pieces of slice of life.
Year after year one can count with a single hand of fingers the science fiction, fantasy, crime, adventure, superhero or horror stories in comics.
There is no market in our local comics for any of that.

Any sane person would fold and write some trite about relationships.

Yes, Any sane person.
But then again in these situations I ask myself one question:

Unfortunately I am not bluehaired pierced hottie (I just live with one, no wait...she's never had blue hair so far...well..so far) but otherwise it helps.

Sane people are boring and insignificant.

And once the stars are right, they(sanes) are eaten or trampled.

Sane people don't prepare for zombie apocalypse or devise deathtraps.

Sanity is just a one handicap one must lose in order to have fun.

Just last night I had an apocalyptic nightmare about humanlike bears, ghosts, nymphomaniacs, murder and the occult.
It will make a great script and carve a nervous wreck from some poor illustrator.


A mind is a beautiful thing to lose.




IÄ!

Bad ideas



Yeah they do that.
They just arrive.

I haven't posted anything for awhile.
Loads of paying work and plenty of comics work too.
Re-found the joys of hardboiled detective noir and gruesome horror.
Always needed.

And I am now a part of Comicpunks, blog where everyone else kick my ass graphicly all the way till next wednesday.
Any week, any year...heck, any millennium.
Any interested, especially those wanting to see great art by Sari Sariola or Rama enter here

And lil old me likes the slogan:
On a mission to draw, ink, color and write about big guns, hot females and brilliant characters since 2011





yeah, like the love of my life says: "You are the only man I know who goes to girls &guns sites for guns..."

you see none of these are bad ideas.
No, I have thought of writing and drawing a comic.

As far as Ideas go that's a still born.
Have to try anyways.

Adventures in ConLand

no, not with ex- or current convicts.
That is another blog-entry entirely...

We had Finncon/Animecon here in my hometown of Turku few weekends ago. Scifinerds united with mangateens from Friday to Sunday.
Tremendous fun for me at least.

I even "got" to be a part of the program: first (yes, very first program of the event on Friday) I interviewed my partner in cosmic criminality, the talented graphic artist Sari Sariola who did graphic design for the event.

I am still a bit miffed for the committee organizing the event who wanted her to tone down the Androidess's figure because it had curves.
I sort of got it for the Animecon, I mean who would want to corrupt young minds set on panties and kaiju-creatures with wandering tentacles?

But Finncon? Us (mainly middle-aged SF/F - fans) we might be shocked to the core if we saw picture of a hot android.

That's just my view but hey go see for yourself her work at http://sarisariola.blogspot.com/2011/07/case-finnconanimecon-2011-part-2.html you will not regret it.

We had a blast on the interview (well I did anyways) but then I had to run to the other side of university area to manga vs western comic-panel discussion.
Guess who stood for western side all by his lonesome?
Yeah.
I fitted amongst the mangagirls like a loud un-tamed boar with a sledgehammer fits to a nice Victorian tea party.
Some thought I was funny, though.
then again most people tend to do that as with my eye-patch and biker wear and tattoos I do send certain not-so-subliminal messages.

But again: I liked it.
After that we had missed almost all other workshops and comic art related program. Which sucked.

Thankfully the guest of honor was Richard Morgan.
If the name is unfamiliar go and read his books, Altered carbon is a good start.
Do it.
NOW.

He gave a speech about his stint as comic writer, Black widow to Marvel comics, and used as an example as how horrid superhero stuff can be a scene from a comic where the Thing comes to a bar and starts a fight with Hulk for apparently no reason.

The scotsman (aye, Morgan is a scot) told this in quite amusing fashion and I recognized the story.
I had bought it as a trade cheaply secondhand.

So, come Saturday, after his guest of Honor speech there was a signing by mr. Richard Morgan.
Me and my beloved Sari(with whom, since we are...umm..what's opposite of quiet and reserved?, he had become quite accustomed ) first offered Altered carbon for signing.

And after that we pulled out the aforementioned HULK/THING: Hard Knocks TPB.
He smiled, laughed and signed it.
Got to love the guy.

The reason I like to go to con's is the way you meet people like Richard Morgan and get to hear their ideas.
And on con's there are also all the guys and gals who are brethren nerds.
Who love science fiction, fantasy, horror and comics.

it is a breeding ground for ideas if one is willing to listen and talk, to fuel up one's imagination and ideas.
For me it was such a fertile sounding board that I can't thank enough people making it possible. Especially my significant other whose Androidess is so far the most kick-ass icon of these con's ever.
The Phoenix was groovy but if she ever gives another chance to use the Androidess any way (I know it sounds so good and so wrong at the same time, doesn't it?) I'll gladly take it.

and last, but not least Tero Ykspetäjä took a photo I am really happy.
Me with my tattoo and guys of 501st legion Nordic garrison.
(I am the one on left, no, still not the one with the kimono. I'm the one with truly wickedly cool t-shirt.)
EDIT Yes I still **** up these images, just double click it to view it properly


For the Empire!

News of my demise....

are truly greatly exaggerated.
I just have been typically antisocial and busy self.
Blogs are after all a social media, a diary of sorts where one can put their psycho-pathological views for all to see.
Never been fan of diaries.
I rather leave that to those people who like slice of life stories and believe they are either important or irreplaceable.
They, nor I, are not.

But then I was in car crash recently. A head on collision.
Ford focus sedan lost both headlights and plastic front mask was totalled.
Damn good I was riding bicycle.

My girlfriends(odd thing to say since she is all grown woman) bicycle to be exact. I got bruise and the bike lost a few gears(and back wheel's brakes went a little wonky)

like they say: only the good die young. My archaic butt will apparently suffer to grand old age physically too...

the good part is I have had a vacation and been to a con and had loads of new (to me) ideas. i' ll try to bother you with those ASAP

your pal(hah!) the dodgier cousin of resurrection man,
Curtvile
