I can’t wait to watch “The Peanuts Movie” at the multiplex with my cousins next week. I grew up with Charlie Brown Sunday comic strips and cartoon specials, so now something cool is happening for fans of the Peanuts for a limited time.

The Art and Making of The Peanuts Movie
November 2, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Two major comic strips that I grew up in my childhood was Bill Watterson’s Calvin & Hobbes and George M. Schulz’s iconic cartoon character Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. I remember having so much fun reading the strips as a kid with my siblings and then watching the Charlie Brown cartoon Holiday specials on TV with my grandparents. Just pure nostalgia. After years of waiting, we now finally get an “official Charlie Brown cartoon” from animation house Blue Sky Studios. Author Jerry Schmitz takes us Charlie Brown fans on an incredible journey inside Blue Sky Studios in The Art and Making of The Peanuts Movie.

Alt Control Delete Success!
October 20, 2015 by Leave a Comment
In early October, Ramon Govea and crew launched the Kickstarter to their comic Alt Control Delete and just within a few days of launch, they were 101% funded and over the last few days that’s actually reached 115% for a grand total of almost $4,000 raised on Kickstarter! They are now currently well over $4000 with 80 backers and still have 14 days to go but, although they are already funded, it doesn’t mean there aren’t fun stretch goals you can help them reach. Check out their Kickstarter here!

It’s a world where competitive virtual reality gaming has replaced war, and humanity is on the verge of creating a symbiotic relationship between technology and nature. But in her search, Tess is forced to choose between the safety of her corporate compound and loyalty to her friend.
If you can’t wait, to read it, you can get Chapter 1 of Alt Cntrl Delete digitally on Comixology.
Already being given tons of awesome review, I know I’m definitely looking forward to my physical copy of Alt Control Delete.

To be or not to be a Wizard World Fan?
September 25, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Everyone has an opinion about certain Comic Conventions. Now, “Was Wizard World great or not great?” So we had to ask a couple of our local Comic Convention goers in the Bay Area, Diana and Alejandro. Though they mentioned nothing spectacular on a scale of one through ten, I would have to say they sounded pretty happy to be there, and they reinforced what comic conventions are all about: Attending a panel and learning interesting factors about writing comics from Michael Golden, Meeting friends, and best of all – Cosplaying! The video speaks for itself.

Not exactly 3D, but imaginatively textured to give you that slice of pixel life! I know these are constructed pixel pieces, but it totally reminds me of when Han Solo gets carbon freezed into a slab and used as some sort of art piece in Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Click 2.5D Sprites to find out more about them.
