Today we’re going back to Hugo Alfven and the second of his three Rhapsodies, the Uppsalarapsodi. (That’s Uppsala Rhapsody for those not up on their Svenska).
I lived in Uppsala for a year in junior high, (saw the funeral scene from Bergman‘s Fanny & Alexander being filmed) so I very much approve.
I thought I’d drop a quick note to tell everyone about the Seattle Graphic Artists Guild’s Graphic Novel Panel on Febuary 28th!
The one we had last year went over so well we decided to do it again! This year our panelists will include Matthew Southworth, Brandon Jerwa, Megan Kelso, Chuck Messinger and Emi Lenox with Mark Monlux as moderator.
We’ll be covering :
Writing –structure, how to write a graphic novel, what tools you need to market your ideas.
Artwork- developing a story board, what to consider ahead of time, existing guidelines, examples, good & bad
Publishing & Marketing-establishing business, marketing, and production plans, how publishing is changing.
The panel will be held at the Seattle Design Center followed by a reception at Fantagraphics Bookstore. Both venues are in gorgeous Georgetown. You can preregister today at Brown Paper Tickets!
Today we’re back to Brahms with his Alto Rhapsody, Opus 53. This version is by London Philharmonic Orchestra with Clemens Krauss conducting and Kathleen Ferrier singing.
Just thought I’d share something new I spent the afternoon on.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Google Sketchup. It’s easy to use with a very short learning curve so comes in very handy for creating background sets and references. Having found some limitations to some of the stock art I’d been using for some of the main sets in the strip I finally got around to starting to construct some of them. Here’s Lysistrata. See what you all think.
Today’s Rhapsody is the Rapsodie espagnole by Maurice Ravel. Performed by the DePaul Symphony Orchestra.
As I was preparing for the strip’s own holiday festivities, I stumbled over this and just had to share!
