Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I totally have to iTunes this show.

Here’s a teaser: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who exactly is the target market for the Vibe shorts? Those give me quite painful flashbacks.

It was perhaps a too-perfectly executed parody. “Curse your dopeness, Vibe!”

Yeah, that was way too much an actual prior idea of entertainment for me to be able to laugh at it. It was just pain.

Has anyone read any Thrillbent comics. I'm curious about what computers have to bring to reading comics. John Rogers is espousing this as a so simple it's revolutionary sort of thing. It's a bit more tailored to computers than any of the digital comics I've bought from DC so far--the one that I read (Luther) made prety simple, limited use of displaying parts of the page sequentially.

Decent comic, too.

I know he's a huge name in comics, so bearing that in mind, are these standard prices for "real" originals?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Couple Buffistae collect original comic art (Glamcookie? Scola? Jon B.? Kat?). They'd know better.

I think those prices are higher than most but he's better regarded as a "fine artist" than a lot of comic artists.

Not the Kat I'm thinking about, right?

I mean, I was just wondering if it could ever be anything I did, but I chose a very dispiriting person to start looking at. There is a gorgeous Havok on his site, but I'm assuming it's the size of a postage stamp and done in pencil, because it's not a gazillion dollars. And I'm not sure why it's on his commissions page, because it's already drawn and priced.

It did start with a really broken Black Widow. Oy. Womenfolk.

I could just stick to fanartists...

I think so. I vaguely remember looking at that page with Pete a while ago, and Pete not batting an eye at the prices listed.

I guess I'll just keep hanging "photos by ita !" for a while longer. Very reasonably priced.

I still boggle when I think about how much Pete's originals for Magic: the Gathering sell for. He's not charging above market for them, but it still is kinda odd to me.
