It was completed over a 3 or 4 day period, if I recall, and was largely influenced by the work of Joe Kubert. It shows its age a bit but I thought you all might like to see it. In remembrance of Mr. Kubert, I thought I'd post it today.<br />
<br />
Do yourself a favor and seek out the work of Joe Kubert. This comic below is a meager salute to his brilliance. Joe was a teacher and comics advocate that pushed along the careers of countless artists and storytellers, whether they attended his school or learned from afar through his comics work, like I still try to.<br />
<br />
Joe Kubert did many incredible things for the world of graphic storytelling. I hope he rests well.<br />

<br />
Hey people-
It's been awhile. I've been busy. I wanted to fill you in a bit on what's been keeping me off the grid here.
TR!CKSTER 2 is almost upon us. This thing is an incredibly crazy endeavor. It's run out-of-pocket by me, Ted Mathot, and Anita Coulter. That's why we're using indiegogo to help offset the headaches. If you can pitch in a bit, please try. We want TR!CKSTER to continue to succeed and breathe life into the creator-owned, DIY world of storytelling. <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/trickster">DONATE HERE</a><br />
<br />
Now, at TR!CKSTER this year I'll personally be doing a few different things: I'll be moderating the <a href="http://trickstertrickster.com/events/symposia/">SYMPOSIA</a>, which are ticketed workshops on writing method and art demos by today's top storytellers. Grab a ticket at that link...there's limited seating and these are INCREDIBLE chances to learn how working storytellers do their thing first-hand.<br />
<br />
I'll also be producing what might be my last commission-style work in awhile. I'll be doing these commissions daily from 2-4, Thursday-Saturday, in the Art Workshops. I'll be doing two sorts of commissions while my hands hold out:<b> $100 commissions that'll fully benefit TR!CKSTER, painted directly in copies of the TR!CKSTER book.</b> Anything you want, but it'll be painted in the book. <b>I'll also be doing a limited number of stand-alone commissions at $250 each.</b> Hit me early at crazymorse *at* sbcglobal *dot* net if you want something.<br />
<br />
<b>***UPDATE***I just found a box of ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX AND SCIENCE that I'll have on hand, as well. These are WAY out of print, featuring art by me, Lou Romano, Don Shank, and Nate Wragg. I'll be painting originals in each one sold at the show and this incredibly rare book will run you $100 a pop. Act quick.</b><br />
<br />
I won't be doing paintings of licensed characters. Original stuff only. Creator-owned stuff.<br />
<br />
Now, this is likely the last chance in a long time you'll be able to get a commission from me as my workload has gone insane at Pixar. I'm doing something pretty great there that requires more of my free time. So that means fewer cons and no more commissions.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Pixar, though, I WILL be one of a handful of folks looking at portfolios IN THE CONVENTION CENTER ONLY at booth 4800, Thursday-Saturday. Story portfolios. Character design portfolios. Bring your best work and wow us.<br />

<br />
God, I wish I could pull off wearing a fedora any day of the week. The tall kind, the kind the “professor” wears. <br />
<br />
And yeah, yeah, yeah, there’s nothing more “American” than Mount Rushmore. Maybe. I’ll go with Jazz, and bourbon. And you should, too. <br />
<br />
So, the 20 year Pappy Van Winkle, switched to Noah’s Mill Bourbon about 45 minutes in, should make you giggle like a school girl as Cary Grant escapes harm via fabricated hijinx in the auction house. Seriously, NORTH BY NORTHWEST is one of the obvious go-to films for “learning”. I was shown the cornfield crop-duster sequence at age 18 in my freshman year story class at CalArts. The problem with freshmen is that you’re dealing with people who you ASSUME have seen certain films. At age 18, I’d heard of NORTH BY NORTHWEST, but never seen it. So the crop dusting sequence was marvelous to behold, even out of context, but still…it was out of context. And out of context, in a story class, is almost useless. Story happens in two ways: details, of course, which, with the crop-dusting sequence, still come across as marvelous…but the second way is “broad strokes”. Big, sweeping story elements. And these, my friends, are what establish context for something like the crop-dusting sequence. <br />
<br />
Still, LOOK FOR DETAILS in NORTH BY NORTHWEST. The use of hands--human hands--and how they articulate. Grant and Eva Marie-Saint use them to great effect. Their first meeting, on the train, has them in the throws of passion: the cross cutting keeps the consistency of splayed fingers in hair, conveying a certain charm in the moment. Later, when they meet again, after Grant has been betrayed, Marie-Saint keeps her fingers splayed, but Grant, he holds his hands away from her, unable to touch his Judas. THIS is something that doesn’t show up in a script. THIS is NORTH BY NORTHWEST.<br />
<br />
ALSO! Watch closely during the introduction of Van Dam. He accuses the unknowing Grant of “playing games”, yet Van Dam, that wily Sher Khan, enters in full light, crosses to a curtain, draws it closed, crosses to a lamp, turns it on and stand IN FRONT OF IT, back-lighting himself, then crosses yet again to light the room in full once more. Games, and control of how he’s perceived. This is a villain. This, too, is NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Charm: in the dialogue...the uses of lenses…the choices of shots. <br />
<br />
It was a complete accident that I accented this flick with bourbon. That’s the happy film gods playing their role to a “t”, as Grant is forced most of a bottle, then requests it once more near the end of act 2. Bourbon. And Pappy Van Winkle is perfect for viewing this thing. The switch to Noah’s Mill was out a low supply of the Pappy’s. Try to keep to the good stuff. <br />
<br />
ALSO! After the bad guys are on to Eva Marie-Saint (watch for two nice conventional camera tricks: focus, and a move, to a God’s eye view of the snakes in the grass), you’ll want to watch for an artful use of COLOR. It’s subtle, but as Grant climbs the outer wall of the mountain retreat, there’s a unique separation of warm and cool values: inner rooms warm, outer cool. Villains and prey inside…our hero, outside, in the cool. <br />
<br />
And a train has never meant so much. Set up early in act 2. And the last shot says it all. <br />
<br />
Details AND broad strokes. Watch the whole thing. The crop-dusting sequence is iconic, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.Scott Morsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021448805727045337noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825019.post-82299249318715224082011-11-10T16:39:00.000-08:002011-11-10T16:39:32.910-08:00Dem Birdsh<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2J3MbMjbkUUhJWa-O7bkrbCuEWCmB-IkShjOC2yKH0qfhasKaMecRlL3if1b7PKh11pJvTqXJDYVguSg8Cqr68CsTE1TSoHBiKu2uffFkSnlePoR1ZKzQFae9oBPmy7N7uHZLA/s1600/CAM_birds_cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="281" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2J3MbMjbkUUhJWa-O7bkrbCuEWCmB-IkShjOC2yKH0qfhasKaMecRlL3if1b7PKh11pJvTqXJDYVguSg8Cqr68CsTE1TSoHBiKu2uffFkSnlePoR1ZKzQFae9oBPmy7N7uHZLA/s400/CAM_birds_cropped.jpg" /></a></div>This'll be up for sale to benefit <a href="http://cartoonart.org/">the Cartoon Art Museum.</a> It's some birdsh.

<br />
It has occurred to me, while watching David Lean’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS as I write this, that cinematic language and how it relates to comics storytelling—that being the progressive sequential images of comics—has evolved in ways we don’t acknowledge or respect. <br />
<br />
Take for instance simplicity in staging and cutting—bare economics in relatable film language—in Lean’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Simple by today’s standards (2011). Progressive cutting from establishing shots to medium to close-ups and back out. This language of visual dynamics is economic and easy to follow and translates readily to a still-image format like comics. By today’s standards, however, the cutting dynamics of Jack Harris and his crew in GREAT EXPECTATIONS might be viewed as light and elementary by the average viewer. However, there is historic and elementary KNOWLEDGE at play here. And shockingly enough, this is the type of cutting most directly related to the strongest of dynamic comics storytelling in play in the modern age. Take Jeff Smith, or Paul Pope, or Cyril Pedrosa, or Jaime Hernandez. These fellows know when to move their “camera”, when to cut, when to shift compositions, at the most basic cinematic level--essential cinematic level, even. A reveal, a cut or push-in for dramatic impact. The fact that you can “hold” on a composition for solidarity is often times cast away in favor of “flash” and “style”. In actuality, relishing a composition can in fact strengthen and hearten a moment. Let a composition do its job: tell a story. And remember: to tell a story is to lay out one card at a time and not play your full hand until you need to.<br />
<br />
Let us address this: in comics, we have only the still image to play with. Only the stagnant, untimed delivery of one image juxtaposed against the sequentially designed next. If, as a visual storyteller, you endeavor to tell your stories in comics and eventually hope to translate them to film, you might consider the editorial style of Jack Harris and David Lean. Economic--poignant and iconic—and effective. <br />
<br />
Very simply: let a moment exist as long as it needs to, and “cut” only when it serves to progress your story. Impact. Small or large, impact is important. Savor the visual choice to establish a new plot dynamic. Only change the visual when there’s something new to say—a new story point—and understand that this choice will be obvious when you execute it. Impact.<br />
<br />
Comics are NOT storyboards. They are very different animals. However, even different animals share a common ancestor…and sometimes that ancestor is an unknown quantity: is Bigfoot the missing link between great apes and man? Is there a way to merge the still images of comics with the timed images of film?Scott Morsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021448805727045337noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825019.post-77824691056626786642011-06-30T18:06:00.000-07:002011-06-30T18:10:24.198-07:00A GLIMPSE OF CRIME AND TERROR...on its WAY!Big thick board book pages!

You suckers asked for it. Me and Steve Niles are gonna slap you silly with a sneak peek book this summer. It's a 9"x12" board book with rounded corners, all big and thick and meaty. Sure, it's just got two stories in it, 32 pages total, but it's a limited edition kind'a thing. We're only printing 500 of these bad boys. It's called A GLIMPSE OF CRIME AND TERROR and these stories we're puttin' in it, they're chocked full'a both crime AND terror. Yer gonna be pushing people outta the way just to get yer mits on it. CRIME AND TERROR, the big book, it's gonna be LOTS bigger'n this with lots more stories, but that's coming out down the line and THIS is coming out this summer. This is just a tease, a tease you'll want for your coffee table to make all'a yer friends jealous that yer so cultured with a big ol' book about CRIME AND TERROR.<br />
<br />
More information soon. Hold yer horses.

I'm on a new film at Pixar, and working on my own stuff in the spare minutes. MY OWN STUFF. That's important. Stuff I get to call shots on, and work with who I want to work with on. Along those lines, there's two new books on the horizon that'll hit this year. I'll be yapping about them lots, as I'm super excited about both.<br /><br /> TEN AGAINST THE WORLD will launch later this year...5 issues, 40 pages each. You've seen some snippets of this in the past. Buckle up for the full-tilt horror ride. Hot rods and monsters, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE a'la pre-hero Kirby. Kinetic, insane, pure comics. I'll post some art soon, as well as info on the publisher. It's locked, but we're not done with contracts yet, so stay tuned...<br /><br />STEVE NILES and I are about to kick you in the teeth with an ONGOING SERIES. It's called CRIME AND TERROR. It's filled with episodes detailing the events in the life of a detective named Mike Fallon who's going through some serious personal problems. On top of THAT, we'll be smacking you upside the head with a bunch of short, stand-alone stories: noir, horror, sci-fi, whatever we want. All drawn by me, some written by me, some by Steve. On top of THAT, we'll be throwing in new prose stories with spot-illos by me. Seriously, monthly is the plan, and every month, you'll cry with glee as you scream your face off. Again, publisher info soon, but here's a possible first cover, above, and a sample page from one of the short stories, below:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk94qayvtXL5j4YB8PrJ-2IrdTt4glmwBFtLp9LulSJLrna9sQm7pOqPjqlAxWXrVLAoXy0dhL1Q_NskAcPrP-jdOQZDivId16vRve23Cej_x8K3FSJ_PFs_zD7BIAmZzwUIwLiw/s1600/I_STOLE_THIS_THING_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk94qayvtXL5j4YB8PrJ-2IrdTt4glmwBFtLp9LulSJLrna9sQm7pOqPjqlAxWXrVLAoXy0dhL1Q_NskAcPrP-jdOQZDivId16vRve23Cej_x8K3FSJ_PFs_zD7BIAmZzwUIwLiw/s400/I_STOLE_THIS_THING_3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568869682915712994" /></a><br /><br />There's more on the horizon for 2011, too, stuff like CARS 2, of course, but even more stuff that just might change the world.

Now, normally I'm not a huge shill for my day job, but this disc is something kind of special for me. These shorts were amazingly fun to work on. Even more unique, for me, are the bonus features. You'll find "Unmade Tales" in the special features section, and if you're brave enough to click on BACKWARDS TO THE FORWARDS, you'll find...me. Pitching storyboards for an unmade short. It's a rare look at what actual working storyboards at Pixar kind of look like. This whole "Unmade Tales" section is a rare look at board artists pitching, too. If "story" is something you're hoping to get into eventually, it's a nice thing to check out, just as a heads-up on how we do it.Scott Morsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01021448805727045337noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825019.post-16508287634006567552010-10-19T17:08:00.001-07:002010-10-19T17:16:17.512-07:00An owl for Ghana<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZ1TrPGdyFqrtObgWJo-ycsEd9jq05We0d_3XbwVTz4I-T7JoF5Ae-acWyEnBsHNhn3OQbw5axpkK-Et6-Kbr2_RJl2bf_l2pblcYukMkYK06RiIc8E-anYbbLM1VVQ9SPC7DZQ/s1600/OWL_GHANA_charitypainting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZ1TrPGdyFqrtObgWJo-ycsEd9jq05We0d_3XbwVTz4I-T7JoF5Ae-acWyEnBsHNhn3OQbw5axpkK-Et6-Kbr2_RJl2bf_l2pblcYukMkYK06RiIc8E-anYbbLM1VVQ9SPC7DZQ/s400/OWL_GHANA_charitypainting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529914200882165362" /></a><br />10"x10", cell vinyl on wood<br /><br /><a href="http://www.artblocksghana.blogspot.com/">Art Blocks for Ghana</a></li> is a pretty great charity being organized to help build a home for orphaned children in Ghana.

The unveiling of the two most ground-breaking pieces of sequential art fiction to hit the comics world EVER. Feast your eyes on two limited edition mini-comics by my son Finn (5) and his cousin Logan (7). These books are incredible first endeavors in comics storytelling, translated and embellished in VERY few places by me, the freelance designer. <br /><br />Finn's book is untitled (I'll check with him on that), but features the adventures of a modified Shaggy and Scooby, much kinder and altruistic than the mystery-solvers you've all grown to know and...love(?) Finn's rendition was completed in one slam-bam sitting on a bright Sunday morning. The T-Rex and fire truck on the cover are not indicative of the contents, but man, LOOK at that T-REX! There may be a few prints of that puppy available as well. I'll check with the artist.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4b-NFHICJJCukhtSo-ewKQxNhYhHRLlsWJJcakli67CvfKPk3KS8sOl7g2Uy_Z2FpDGBeiLCmrdu3umkl2rNaHzNVagLRtPTMNYpo0uHwHJNXBllwzAidlVh3iJ-8TinKG238g/s1600/photo-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4b-NFHICJJCukhtSo-ewKQxNhYhHRLlsWJJcakli67CvfKPk3KS8sOl7g2Uy_Z2FpDGBeiLCmrdu3umkl2rNaHzNVagLRtPTMNYpo0uHwHJNXBllwzAidlVh3iJ-8TinKG238g/s400/photo-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527666634137813922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggx7IUILNR0KferYgcXpRQeCWbQTyjG0Y8JfS6vVryK7lyAWeqQkRJh2kFnInRRloOXUDsHcmXgnLZ_qw_sEZ9qt0nxQVWgo5bhCInxrCPYAjG_882RD_vJkmhiU9R03ntQFqR3A/s1600/photo-5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggx7IUILNR0KferYgcXpRQeCWbQTyjG0Y8JfS6vVryK7lyAWeqQkRJh2kFnInRRloOXUDsHcmXgnLZ_qw_sEZ9qt0nxQVWgo5bhCInxrCPYAjG_882RD_vJkmhiU9R03ntQFqR3A/s400/photo-5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527666650282587986" /></a><br />Logan's epic is entitled MISSIN TO MARS.
