I just came across an excellent interview with my fave film composer Danny Elfman, who discusses his film score for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland! I’ve been a fan of Danny Elfman since Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, which was his first film score and Tim Burton’s first film.
Here’s a great quote from the [...]

I’m a child of the ’80s, so of course I have to share the first trailer for The A-Team movie with you! Here’s what I had to say about it in a tweet for @theanimeblog:
“Just saw the trailer for the new A-Team movie. It alternates between awesome and horrible. You’ll see: http://bit.ly/7j5GOO”
I’m sure we’ll see [...]

Today’s Sci-Fi Drawing of the Day is from Avatar, the amazing film by James Cameron just made over a billion dollars worldwide. So I decided to do a really, really quick (seriously – two minutes tops) sketch of Neytiri, the Na’vi played by Zoe Saldana.
This is my first Avatar sketch, so I hope you like [...]

From now until Christmas I’ll be posting lyrics to some of my favorite Christmas songs, along with links to each one (if available).
The first is from one of my favorite Christmas specials: A Charlie Brown Christmas, which you can watch at hulu.com (until January 1, 2010)!

For today’s Sci-Fi Drawing of the Day, I decided to draw Invader Zim! What more can I say other than it’s my favorite cartoon ever. Which is different than my favorite anime series. That would be either Chrono Crusade or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Anyway, here’s what I used:
Pencil, ink, Prismacolor and my favorite drawing [...]

So remember my Monster-A-Day Halloween Drawings during the whole month of October? Well, I’m trying to do something similar – only this time, it’s now called Sci-Fi Drawing of the Day. So let’s get started!
Today’s Sci-Fi Drawing of the Day is ‘My Stormtrooper’ (from Star Wars). He’s a little different than the others: He has [...]

I’m not exactly excited about the film, but here are the first New Clash of the Titans posters, which debuted here. I like the texture and atmosphere the photos create, but I don’t like the logo. The typography is weak and the metal/stone texture doesn’t work for me either. But what I really dislike about [...]
