So, last week my girlfriend, two of our friends and I went to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Paradiso, Amsterdam. It was a pretty awesome show. Karen O has so much energy, it’s insane. I think it’s quite rare to see a singer smile so much on stage, it’s a nice change.
Currently reading a lot of comics, King of Flies vol.1 by Mezzo & Pirus. I think it comes out in english next year from Fantagraphics. you can see some pages here: www.sherpa.nu/preview/prev_hallo_34.htm Very much Charles Burns-esque in its art and story, and that’s not bad at all.
I just had to share these awesome panels from the french edition of Donjon Monsters – Les Profondeurs. Killoffer takes art duties on this one, and the whole thing is insanely detailed, leading up to the final pages which feature panels like this:
and finally this bit of INSANITY:
I wonder how long it took him to do that panel. the mind boggles…

Holy Jesus on a pogo stick. That is awesome.
…I dare you to draw something that detailed for our livingroom 😀 or any other wall 😉
This is a good thing, I think.
Holy shit. I had heard this graphic novel was off the hook, but to see it is just drives the point home. I hope it is translated to English as soon as possible!! Amazing!
It really is just amazing stuff; I wonder how much time he spent on these pages alone. and what kind of size the original pages were.
They must have been quite big.
When they reprint those books in english, they always do them in smaller books than the original French releases. I worry that a lot of that detail is going to be lost.
yeah, the dutch versions are the same size as the French so we don’t have that problem. But I think the US versions are being published quicker than the dutch versions, so you do have that advantage (I had to read the book with a dictionary at my side, my french isn’t that great).
