I'm seriously considering getting a Wacom, maybe an Intuos 2 (any other suggestions?) because last week and the entire weekend was spent tracing and coloring over Arn's ink drawings* -- with a mouse! Sigh. The coming weeks won't be any different... not until the main site launches anyway.
*i.e. vectorizing

Arnold came over last night bearing a vcd of Fantasia 2000 ("You gotta watch this baby! You gotta!"). I enjoyed it so much more than the original, and particularly loooved the Rhapsody in Blue segment most of all (I just loved that they used Hirschfield's illo style!).
If you've been reading this blog long enough, you'll remember that I keep complaining about Disney -- the company, not Mr. Walt of course, r.i.p. -- becoming too commercial*, but the original Fantasia was conceptualized during their "for art, not money" years so that makes it an exception. Glad they're keeping it up somehow.
*Sorry, I don't even care to see Lilo and Stitch.

So is Simone real or not?
Aha! Ramone (as in Simone) has the answer: [Go ]

Arnold's Trip to Tagaytay site is back up, folks. Just had to move it from my old server to his domain so I'm sure there are still some broken links in there. Please let me know if the sound clips (by Squid 9 and Ely Buendia) are working.
Oh, kudos to Luigi for finding it even before I could announce it, heh. (:

>because last week Cynthia, you may already know this, but I'm suggesting it, just in case: why not scan the artwork, convert to grayscale or bitmap, save as a TIFF file and open it up in Adobe Streamline? (BTW, you can adjust your scan to show more outline details by tweaking the 'levels') Streamline can do a quick job of vectorizing your scans. But then again, tracing it via a Wacom tablet is a lot more fun ;-)

hey cyn! was waiting for so close to open, but now that it's showing, haven't had a chance to see it. friends say it's alright if you don't expect too much of a plot (hey, it's an action flick with hot girls, i'm not complaining). since you're into asian movies too, see any korean movies recently? their last 3 years have been awesome.
