    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!

      1. Bo Lumpkin

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

      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 Leroy…where in the world are you buddy?

      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!

Inazuma 11!

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Leroy Brown
Leo did this great drawing of his new favorite cartoon Inazuma 11. It’s not out in the US yet, but it looks pretty cool. I always thought a cartoon about a soccer team would be a great idea!©ICECUBES

Blobs.

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Leroy Brown
Eggman is the perfect character to show off the ‘blobs’ drawing technique. I find that the best way to give the characters more of a real feeling is to think of them as being made of blobs. By drawing big round blobs I can work out their positions and get a sense of their place in space. It also helps to give them some weight so they don’t look like they are two dimensional or floating in the panel. Here’s a great example of drawing blobs. Drawing blobs.

King of the Hill.

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Leroy Brown
My favorite cartoon is by far King of the Hill. I just love the understated tone and the rhythm of the stories. It’s not full of slap dash one liners, sex jokes or poop humor. It’s hard to write like that and I think Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created a good cartoon. Dauterive.
One of Bill Dauterive’s relatives.

Everybody knows Hank Hill’s self loathing neighbor Bill Dauterive. The inside joke is that one of the original writers and executive producer’s name is Jim Dauterive. Here’s picture proof that there’s another Dauterive out there too! 🙂

Crime Scene!

Here is where I spilled my ink bottle last week… the entire bottle! Note the Ralph Steadman drawing that somehow crept in 🙂 ©ICECUBES For those inquiring minds, that’s ‘Merton Of The Movement’ peaking out from the comics box. Know your classics!
