Check out JC Duffy's Blog "Night Deposits"

For some shocking insights to his process and many projects. To wit:

1) For legal reasons, JC won't sign any of his work. The JC Duffy signature you see is actually signed by former WKRP in Cincinnati star, Gordon Jump.

2) To improve blood flow to his brain, JC once hung upside down for three weeks. Afterward, he was rumored to have said, "I could have gone three more, but somebody kept ringing my doorbell."  

3) JC will not make eye contact with people who wear striped scarves. And describes them curtly as "elitists." 

Could these improbable, incongruous and inaccurate facts be true? Only one way to find out! Let's go to the blog! http://nightdeposits.blogspot.com/

Caution: may cause seasickness, drowsiness and/or feelings of superiority

Check out this link for some cool early 3-D photography. And sure it doesn't rival Avatar in terms

 of special effects but to my mind the stories are equally developed.

 

And before you're all like, "I could do better with an unplugged Amiga and a blindfold," remember

this was 100 years ago, OK? SO don't be so smug there in your cardigan sweater and brushed teeth.

A Better Version of Me

Thanks to Eric Scott from our greeting-card division here at AMU who was outraged, horrified and saddened by the cheap-shot caricatures that Mssrs. Pastis and Turnbloom executed of yours truly.

Eric finally sets the record straight on what a sustainable and ethically pure version of John Glynn should look like. Take note those of you who choose the "low road."

What I'm most thankful for in Eric's version is that he successfully captured BOTH my love of jazz dance and capri pants in the same illustration. To my mind, it's the first time that's been successfully done outside of ILM.

Thanks, Eric. Now I can live again. Now ... now ... now ... I can live again.

Here's a link to the band who's album title I ripped off for the headline ... perhaps you'll see some similarities to Los Campesinos? Perhaps? http://www.last.fm/music/Rainer+Maria/_/The+Contents+of+Lincoln's+Pockets
