If pro is the opposite of con would Congress be the opposite of progress.
Yep…seems like we are going backward. Some of the games people buy to play interactive stuff is almost like when we did stuff like that for real as a kid.
No kidding! It seems like they just try to imitate things that already exists. Like trying to make digital ‘inking’ look more ‘real’. I say, nothing beats the real thing!
Of course! Using computers to make art is fine by me. I do all my colors in Photoshop, not to mention fixing any inking errors. But I still like the natural line better. I think technology is good when it’s used for something you can’t do otherwise. When it just copies older techniques I feel its just kind of wasted.
Hey Bo, I know I’ve been really quiet lately. I am waiting on word from the syndicates to see if there’s any chance of getting the strip picked up. I have been caught up in some other projects as well. It’s hard not to get burned out after 5-6 years without having a clear indication of being able to turn the strip into something viable- I need to continue to pay the bills! Thanks for being there and caring about ICECUBES, I’m going to do my best to get back online asap!
Wimpy! and of course a locomotive that squirts water… because, well…
In other news, I’ve decided to do away with the members only area. It was too complicated to maintain. So now you can read all the strips going back to #200. Anything before that is in the book!
Hello everyone,
Animation that I did for Dizzy Flashtoons is being submitted to Nickelodeon Shorts! We hope they’ll give us a shot on TV. You can help be watching the video and giving it a thumbs up! Share it so we get more views. Tell me what you think. Thanks and fingers crossed. 🙂
Congrats to Eddy Obomsawin of Quebec, for winning the first prize in ourBelgium Comics Contest last month! Eddy answered the tricky question of naming all the characters in the drawing below in French! (I guess he had a little advantage of being in a French speaking part of the country 😉 His prize was a signed ICECUBES book. Thanks for sending us the picture Eddy! 🙂
Here’s the original drawing for Michael Pohrer, who won second prize in the Belgium Comics Contest. In this drawing I put Lucky Luke, a Smurf and Spirou along with Eggman, Peckinpaw and Freeze. Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners!

I’m guilty of the digital inkin’ because I need to have something I can redo about a hundred times without startin’ from scratch.
