Notebook Update

Some recent drawings and ideas from my notebook, with certain passages skillfully blurred. Don't want to give everything away, you know....

I'm developing an idea called 'You Are An Idiot', which is why the phrase keeps coming up (before you start wondering why I leave myself little abusive messages).

Mixmaster Mike (Patton)

Following up on voicing the creatures in 'I Am Legend', Mike Patton will apparently be the voice of Mixmaster in 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen'. And, to further his stake in sequels without numbers, he has also provided the score for 'Crank: High Voltage'. A film which also stars Geri Halliwell as Jason Statham's mam.



There's a great interview about his scoring process here on Ain't It Cool News.

Twitter

Thanks to modern technology, quick updates on the minutiae of everyday life can now be discovered on Twitter. And for all the talk of people fearing hellish 'Orwellian' future societies where some evil government tracks your every move, it turns out if you offer it to them under the guise of convenience or as a useful marketing tool they'll sign themselves up.

Is this a rant? I can't decide. If it is, it's a little confused. Check out what I had for breakfast:

Here's an odd one, but it's definitely two people I'd look forward to hearing together. It's pretty good too. Check out the link below for more details.

"The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam,"

J.G. Ballard

JG Ballard (1930-2009)

The hugely talented and influential JG Ballard died yesterday, which is sad to hear. If you haven't read anything by him, you definitely should. Even towards the end of his career he was consistently experimenting with literary form, which is incredibly admirable, especially as attention spans seem to continually wane. Below is a fairly succint introduction to the man, an interview from 1986:

And apparently also doing an audio-visual set at Electric Picnic this year too!
