New York Comic Con

Thanks everyone for an amazingly awesome New York Comic Con 2014!!!!  We had a blast, met a lot of fans. We were blown away by how many people remembered us from last year, and we didn’t even have a book to sell!  But this year we did and the response was fantastic.

We’re going to post a little video sometime soon, of footage our friend Rahil shot for us.  Until then you can peep my half-assed instagram feed. Luckily I was too busy selling comics to actually shoot many photos. 🙂

Star Wars Surveillance

I am trying not to read too much of the Star Wars Episode VII rumors, but this one caught my eye. This is some straight-up crazy spy action. My mind warped not b/c some nut is flying a drone over a film set, but because this undoctored photo is so practical/nautural/cool scifi. That location is incredible, the space ships look so at home there, there is no reason to even blink. Is this the CIA looking at North Korea, or a dispatch from an imperial probe droid.  You know, just a fly-by over the Rebel’s star port…

The Scroll

Ok, I’ve posted a few pictures in the past, this is a fast iphone video of scroll number 1 of  2.  Sutu worked on continuous scrolls of butcher paper to create the first pass of art for A Night of Gatecrashing.  This is the first scroll. It is 19 inches high by 38 feet long.

Folding Origami Robot

“On either side of the composite and inside is stiff paper. In the very middle there is a flexible printed circuit,” Felton added. “When electricity is applied, it heats up like when you turn on a light bulb and the heat warms up the polymer and causes it to contract. Because the polymer is bonded to the paper it pulls on the paper causing the paper to fold over on itself.”

Imagine a ream of dozens of robotic satellites sandwiched together so that they could be sent up to space and then assemble themselves remotely
