DD Awards - Emergency Presenters Needed!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 25, 2015It's campaignin' season!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 18, 2015
Usually I try to keep my newsposts geared towards art/writing/comics, but this week I have politics on the brain!
Here in Canada our election is only a month away (October 19, 2015 – get out and vote, Canadians!). I just spent my evening at a packed little cafe where ...
Directing Action in Comic Scripts
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 11, 2015
I usually write comic scripts with a pretty specific idea of what each panel will look like when drawn: the setting, who’s doing what, facial expressions, and so on. What I almost never do is write any of that down. Except for specific actions that characters have to respond ...
Comic-making shortcuts
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 4, 2015
After a long comic-making hiatus, I’ve had several ideas for comics in the last little while. Working on the first one, though, I’ve realized that unless I get a heck of a lot faster at drawing it's unlikely that all of my ideas will ever come to ...

FEATURED COMIC --> Cogs and Claws
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 19, 2015
Cogs and Claws is a surreal odyssey for your imagination.
In the opening sequence, a giant flounder emerges from an underwater pod and boards a space shuttle submerged in water. Soon thereafter, the shuttle is blasted into space where it joins several other spacecrafts driven by various anthropomorphic creatures.
This ...
Sunny days and comic books
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 14, 2015
Summer here is hot and dry, but it's so short that sometimes it feels more like a coffee break in an endless winter than a real season. People who live in the prairies know that each summer day has to be savoured - tucked away as a little memory for ...
An Analysis of a Polarizing Character
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 10, 2015
It seems that I get into a very opinionated argument whenever the topic of discussion veers toward Neon Genesis Evangelion. Usually it is about how the Evangelion movies are awesome and how the main character is not so awesome. That being said, it has been twenty years since the mid-1990s ...
Those images that get stuck in your head
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2015
Is there a word for these?
I’m talking about those things that you automatically start drawing when you have a piece of paper and no specific ideas in mind. The images that find their way into the margins of your notebooks, onto napkins in restaurants…or on a whiteboard ...
