I’m not a fan of link aggregation posts. If something’s worth posting it’s worth posting in isolation, I feel. But I do come across a load of stuff that doesn’t have a handy video or image which I don’t necessarily have the time or inclination to expand on and it can’t hurt to share it once in a while. If my behaviour is anything to go by you’ll pick a couple of these and ignore the rest. That’s fine.
A statement from Louis CK who released his self-financed standup film as a $5 unrestricted download and has, in 3 days, taken $500,000, a profit of $200,000. Hopefully this will pave the way for a Bandcamp for movies. Fingers crossed.
No Copyright Intended. Andy Waxy looks at the weird phenomena of YouTube users guarding against copyright infringement takedowns by stating that they didn’t mean it, honest. A fascinating read.
An uncut interview with Alan Moore which was edited down for the Indie. Interviews with Moore always work best when they’re verbatim transcripts.
Fist Of Fun DVD. Lee and Herring bought the rights back from the BBC and have put out a wonderful looking package. It might be on dead media but whoa, there’s some good stuff in there.
Eddie Campbell’s Dapper John, previously known as the Ace Rock n Roll Club and effectively a warm-up to his Alec strips, is reissued as an iPad app. Not sure why it needs to be an app – surely a PDF would do the job – but nice to see this rare material out again.
Stewart Lee’s docco about Morris Dancing is sitting there waiting for me to find an hour to listen to it. I am certain it will be brilliant.
New Construction is Kevin Huizenga’s “reflective practitioner” blog about the howtos of cartooning. Loads of lovely work in progress sketches and tips for the aspiring pen-scraper.
