The Precinct: now with *more* explosions & nudity

Just to let all Precinct officers know: the Precinct blog is actually being regularly updated at the moment with partially on-topic posts about the development of the Precinct animated series. Also some ranting, silly Photoshopping and drawings of various TV characters as squat cylinders.

http://nakedfella.com/blog/

I recently rejigged our pilot animation, adding more explosions and a bare arse.

Plus, our lead character, Sgt Ackersley, is now Twittering.

I can't guarantee he'll do it for long, as he's slightly technophobic and prefers spending his time punching sheets of corrugated iron and warming camel jerky over a bar heater.

Dear All,

Jika sedang ada kesempatan berjalan-jalan di Citywalk Sudirman, Karet - Jakarta, silahkan istirahat sejenak untuk melihat kota Jakarta dalam gambar kartun, yang bukan hanya dibuat dari sudut pandang kartunis profesional seperti Jitet Koestana atau Thomdean, namun juga dari sudut pandang ibu rumah tangga, karyawan, dosen, anak-anak 12 tahun, mahasiswa dan berbagai macam profesi serta usia lainnya.

Sastrawan Radhar Panca Dahana dan Budayawan Eros Djarot, turut memilih karya yang mereka sukai dari total 80 karya yang terkumpul menjadi 39 karya (sisanya ditampilkan pada giant screen dengan cara looping). Jika anda berkesempatan hadir, lihat di label karya tanda (R) untuk Radhar dan tanda (E) untuk Eros Djarot, jika ada tanda contreng pada huruf itu, maka itu adalah kartun yang mereka sukai.

ComicKaze Cambodia Press Release

Every Queen’s Birthday Weekend (6th - 8th of June), Australia’s brave cartoonists undertake ‘ComicKaze’ – an endeavor to draw 24 pages in 24 hours. http://www.ozcomics24.com



This Saturday, Cambodian comic artists will be lending creative support to their Aussie friends via a live web link from 8am to 8pm. Sunday morning will see new artwork posted from this Cambodian - Australian collaboration!

Art supplies and local technical support will be provided by Our Books, Cambodia’s comic art nonprofit, and web linkage will be hosted by ComicsLifestyle.com with the help of Café Living Room.

The 24 Hour Comic is a ‘free drawing’ session designed to unlock creativity. Our Books has been developing Project:24 to gradually introduce Cambodian artists to this unique exercise and the global comics community.
http://www.scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/24hr/index.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_comic

Artists are welcome to attempt the full 24 hours. Since this is a big task, we are offering a ‘Cambodian Variation’: a one page in one hour ‘Introduce Yourself’ comic, so Australian and Cambodian artists can get to know each other.
http://www.comicslifestyle.com/group/comikaze2009/forum/topics/cambodian-variation

Example:


We will have a scanner on hand for sharing comics and jam strips. Final efforts will be displayed at Café Living Room this coming month, and compiled into a small publication for Australia’s National Young Writer’s Festival.

Come by and see artists in action! Lend your enthusiasm to comic artists going the distance! Come by, log in and see them live, or check out the final art as we post it up on Sunday!

Event Time: 8am – 8pm Saturday June 6 2009.

Event Location: Living Room Café
#9, Street 306, Boeng Keng Kang 1, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

ComicKaze: Cambodian Variation

Testing out a video chat room for this weekend. (If you can't see it, you don't have flash enabled.) http://www.ozcomics24.com

Thanks to Komala for organizing things on her side of the pond!
http://www.comicslifestyle.com/xn/detail/864783:Event:13321



As per last October's Global Drawing Day, we will be inviting Cambodian cartoonists to congregate at Living Room Cafe in Phnom Penh to produce artwork: one artist - one page - one hour. The theme? Introduce yourself. If we can get a 'hello' from Australian artists, we've got enough for a zine. Also game for jam strips.

More details to come!
