Nostalgia & Comics

This is merely a post that expresses my excitement for a new movie that is due to come out sometime in the holiday season. The movie in question is called The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. As the post's title clearly specifies, this post is mainly about me reminiscing about the "early days," so to speak. When I was a little kid I loved the Tintin cartoons when it was on TV and I also loved the comics that inspired both this upcoming movie and the cartoon series.

Here is a brief bit of history of Tintin. The creator of the series is named Hergé (a pseudonym that belonged to a cartoonist whose real name was Georges Prosper Remi). He was a popular cartoonist and actually was one of the many cartoonists that inspired me to continue drawing. Some of my favorite characters in the series was Dr. Calculus and Thompson and Thomson, as well as Tintin, of course, and his faithful companion, his wire fox terrier, Snowy. Hergé had taken his lovable characters all over the globe in various adventures, but their adventures only seemed to merely halt momentarily when the creator died, but the franchise of the investigative reporter still goes strong today, and especially with this scribbler. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys adventure stories to check out some of the Tintin exploits and hopefully enjoy them as much as I have. I am, in short, very excited about this upcoming movie and I have here posted the new trailer for the movie. I, also, shall be posting some other scribbles in due time. Thanks for enduring the rambling. (Note: I realize that the subtitles and such are in French, but I believe that you, being a clever audience, will get the overall plot.)

Update...Possible Series in the works

During the summer months, thus far, I have been scribbling some stories. Most of the stories are mainly small mystery stories and some adventure stories. As I was typing away at the keyboard I had an idea of a possible series of drawings that I might scribble. This next series of drawings will entail a series of caricatures of various detectives and private investigators that I enjoy reading, and sometimes watching.
Of course this idea is still in the works, just as some of my stories are, but I think that it is possible that I could do this small series of drawings, just to keep the senses sharp, and mainly just to give me something to do when I am not typing or writing. I will be posting a list of possible detectives that I will be drawing sometime later, but this is merely a notification and update, that's all.

An Ending & A Beginning

I think that this is will signify the end of the series that is entitled "The Brilliance of Boredom". To finally end the series I have posted here a re-creation of an iconic British poster that was created in the beginning of the Second World War. It was said to have been created to boost the confidence and morale in the British people, for the quite obvious fear of being invaded. So, to put a new spin on it, I decided to replace the crown that is on the original poster and replace it with my emblem, just to keep things interesting.
In this final picture for the series I did this entirely through a site that I have talked about previously. The site is called picnik, the link for the site can be found in the very first post in this series of "The Brilliance of Boredom." The font that I had used in this reminded me mildly of the first part of the poem called "Jabberwocky", by Lewis Carroll:
Twas brilling, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
So, to finally put an end to this small series of doodes, I shall be producing more scribbles and meandering about with a somewhat pensive attitude about what will come next. Considering the fact that I don't know what I will produce next, keep a sharp eye out for my next post. Thanks

Brilliance of Boredom, No. 4

HUZZAH! Here is the newly edited picture of the character Rayleigh.
After a couple of weeks of technical difficulties I was finally able to present to you readers this new doodle in the "Brilliance of Boredom" series. After some due pondering over the course of the week, I thought that this quote really seemed to work for this character of Rayleigh, which was partially inspired by Doyle and another author of which I admire. This author's name is Henning Mankell, who created the Swedish detective, Kurt Wallander. I would highly recommend this series of mystery stories to anyone who has a fascination of truly disturbed main characters, especially detectives such as Wallander. I was first introduced to the series actually by the new adaptation of it through television. On PBS, there is a program called Masterpiece Mystery and the adaptation stars Kenneth Branagh (who might be known to some as Lockhart on the second Harry Potter movie as well as his work with Shakespeare's adaptations) and he he plays the main character of Kurt Wallander. It is a very good series and the books are well written.
So, with the recommendations over with, here is the newly edited doodle character of Rayleigh and I hope that there are more doodles to come, keep a sharp eye out.
