Holy FUCK! by greyrat (4.00 / 4) #1 Wed Aug 23, 2006 at 05:26:21 PM EST

I'd just go off and shoot myself, but I obviously don't even have enough FUCKING TALENT to do that.

Them's sweet drawings. I like your style(s).

Excellent pictures, and I shall be bugging Johnny still more in due course.

Umm. Apples vs Oranges. by greyrat (4.00 / 3) #18 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 05:13:33 AM EST

IYKWIM.

You're art (this style of illustration anyway) is very dark and rich and surreal. I like that.

no... by spacejack (4.00 / 2) #19 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 06:11:04 AM EST

Your figure drawing is better than mine. Also there's a consistensy of character drawing I don't think I have.

There's also a je ne sais quoi about your drawing details. You just have more fun with them than I do.

I'm not 4ing you for badmouthing yourself. by greyrat (4.00 / 1) #20 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 06:40:47 AM EST

It's two wildly different styles. Both of which I like. Just sayin'.

My figure drawing is terrible, which is why I rely so heavily on models (Brother Lux is played by N., a friend of Slozo's and Littlestar's and mine). This helped the consistency too, obviously.

The je ne sais quoi is called being in a big rush, I think, which is how I always seem to be when I prying apart the world to find time for another johnny pic.

: Brother Lux Is A Very Spiritual Man. by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #12 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 04:53:34 AM EST

In a movie we could just play deep music to make the point, but in drawings we have to fall back on good old fashioned pictoral symbolism.

Also note the extended earlobes when his mind sublimates to the infinite, referencing Hindu and Buddhist imagery representing holiness.

(The rest of the imagery in that particular illustration is all ripped off from Kubrick.)

Picture #2 by The Fool (2.00 / 0) #5 Wed Aug 23, 2006 at 06:48:54 PM EST

That's a great likeness of Ronald Reagan, even minus the eyes and hairpiece.

The best thing about Google Images is that I can find a reference for just about anything I can think of. If I need to know the particulars of the way Reagan's nostrils curled, it's there. If I need to know what a cryogenic apparatus looks like, low temperature physics students are posting on Flickr to oblige me.

Picture 5, in the prison cell by nebbish (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 01:23:06 AM EST

Reminds me of the Staring Contests in Big Train (that's a compliment BTW).

So let's see, you've got a job, two children, and still manage to turn out original quality art and writing on a regular basis, whilst I seem to be able to manage to write about three words per week. What's the secret? Amphetamines?

: The Secret: Neglecting Important Things by CheeseburgerBrown (4.00 / 2) #15 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 04:57:45 AM EST

Just ask my wife. She loves it when I eschew household chores and quality time in order to colour in pictures or type jokes.

If nothing else, by blixco (2.00 / 0) #9 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 03:54:34 AM EST

some of us done pre-paid for this thing. And some of us have full tanks of gas, baseball bats, and big, big trunks.

And plenty of time!

Loved the paintings....the only obvious flaw: there is no frozen head of Dick Cheney in the frozen head room.

I'd be the last one to come down hard on johnny for finding it hard, sometimes, to make creative commitments when life gets in the way.

Can I make one criticism by spacejack (4.00 / 1) #21 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 06:48:33 AM EST

I pretty much agree with all the compliments that have been said already, but there's only one thing I would suggest: don't use grey! I find it's like a black hole for the eye.

It's really the only trick I have up my sleeve. Even if something is grey, like a road, or concrete, pick another colour - any colour, and make it be grey. Maybe it's a purple, or a beige or a brown or silver blue. You already seem to do this most of the time, but there are a few spots that stick out to me saying "this shouldn't be grey." Especially in foreground objects. Foreground objects should almost never be more grey than background ones.

Anyway, a few things I love in panels:

The non-use of grey in the foreground door frame.
The beige (not-grey) station wagon.
All the sci-fi gadget details (except for the grey in the head-encasing glass)
The figures and details - great stuff.
Maybe my favourite drawing. Except for the grey roads, especially in the foreground! (Note how much better the not-grey church looks.) And for all that I've said about grey, I have the same problem with green. Which you apparently don't.
Great background details. Love the girl's hair - both drawing and colouring.
The lion looking through the jungle - heyy, that looks familiar!

Anyway, in the end it's just my personal opinion on grey. Maybe I'm just hypersensitive about it. Or maybe I'm just a filthy a grey-ist.

aha! by spacejack (4.00 / 1) #22 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 06:56:32 AM EST

This lion. Hmm, any more easter eggs?

re: green by spacejack (4.00 / 1) #25 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 08:58:10 AM EST

Just in case that doesn't parse - I mean I have trouble making green "stuff" - finding the right varieties of colours in greenery, whereas you seem to handle that well.

A Time And A Place For Grey by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #27 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 03:26:28 PM EST

I like grey. In fact, I liked most of these illustrations better when they were monochrome (I go line > shade > colour). I don't know what to tell you. Maybe I just have a fetish for ocular black holes.

The sixth is also my favourite. The vegetation was indeed a challenge, but nothing compared to the rough time I have with perspective, which made the monastery particularly vexing. As you can see, parts of it are pretty severely warped.

The lion, as you noted downthread, is stolen. The whole rip from The Dream is my way of broadcasting that Brother Lux is supposed to be dreaming these events, and that they are not literally happening.

: Don't say no to colour! by spacejack (2.00 / 0) #30 Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 05:26:48 PM EST

Noo! Anyway, I think on the whole the colours are great and add a lot to these. There's a weird creepiness to them, the way they're semi-friendly and semi-cold and alien. (Whether or not it is due to some "naive art" stylings :)
Loved the Rousseau rip. The Dream - now it makes even more sense.
Having willing models around is a perfectly legit tool. Maxfield Parrish made a career out of drawing his nanny.

But you have inspired me to renew my efforts, if only because it would so rock to see these on the page, as well as on screen.

This is going to be one badass book.

Attention time warp infidel by TurboThy (2.00 / 0) #33 Sat Aug 26, 2006 at 11:00:15 AM EST

Since these drawings are so awesome and I have no drawing talent myself to give any sort of constructive criticism, let me instead make a temporal observation: A Volvo station wagon of the kind with square door handles would look brank spanking new circa 1985.

Unless, of course, Xristi went punk-ass bitch on it after she brought her new car home from the dealer.
