    Flickr: Re-inking Thor

    Thor Pencils

    This is a pretty cool use of Flickr - an opportunity to re-ink the pencils of the legendary Jack Kirby for all to see. (via Boing Boing)

    If you're a fan of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's epic run on the Mighty Thor, you've heard (and maybe even share) the complaints about the inking style of Vince Colletta. Well, now is your chance to put your ink where your mouth is and have some fun re-embellishing a select page of Kirby's dynamic artistry!

    Thanks to the assistance of John Morrow, publisher of The Jack Kirby Collector, I've posted a photostat of Jack Kirby's pencils from a page of Thor issue 144 for you to ink, experiment, and play with.

    Issue 49 of the Jack Kirby Collector is dedicated to Thor, and Mr. Morrow has indicated he may run select examples of the inked pages submitted to this group!*
    Feel free to use the discussions in this group to share your thoughts or links about Kirby, Thor, inking tips and techniques, and even the infamy of the prolific one himself~~Vince"the Prince" Colletta.

    Amazing Guild Wars Dance Video

    Yes I know it's been around for a while... still one of the best dance videos I've seen for ANY game.

     

    Tastes like ...

    Imagine my surprise as I was shopping in our local Asian supermarket and I picked up this flavor of shrimp crackers. I literally did a double-take and it wasn't until I straightened out the bag and realized it said "Hot Garlic" that I breathed a sigh of relief.

    NCsoft Europe

    DSC00524Just visited the NCsoft Europe offices a couple of weeks ago. As soon as we touched down in Heathrow, they whisked us down to Brighton, just about an hour south. Our time was jam-packed with meetings on all sorts of Guild Wars stuff - community, web and of course, marketing & sales.

    Here's a shot of us enjoying some time outside of meetings. As you can seen they're a pretty fun crowd. From left to right - Sarah (sales), Veronique (marketing), ME, Dirk (marketing), Stephen (web & community).
