dewlineOkay, Map Week's over. So what's up at the moment?
Comics news: I've started work on page layouts for Local Hero # 2 as of yesterday. This is good. I will be focusing on pencils from this issue onwards.
Radio addictions, I have a few. One of them's Afghanada, a serial radio drama on CBC Radio One, focusing on a Canadian Forces fire team working in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. I'm informed that CD collections of the episodes aired to date are available via cbcshop.ca for anyone interested.
Visual treats: Some nice landscape photography from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cath posted at her Flickr account in the last day or so. If she ever gets tired of IT work...well, you get the idea. Well done, Cath!
Other Peoples' Comics I've Enjoyed: Among such works was the mini-series Skull and Bones by Ed Hannigan, written and drawn for DC a bit over ten years ago. Basic premise as best I understand it: what if the first super-hero had been a Russian starting in the last days of the Soviet era? I enjoyed it, but there weren't enough other people who felt the same way about the mini-series so it never got any further.
Fast forward to the launch of Comicspace.com. Mr.Hannigan's gotten himself an account, the rights to Skull and Bones - all the rights, apparently - have reverted back to him, and he's re-serializing it on his Comicspace gallery space. Go and see for yourselves. I don't know if the movie option will turn into an actual movie, but maybe new stories of Andrian Trofimovitch Linov, gospodin Skelyet, will come of it.
LJ Stuff in Progress: I've started a Community for SF and Fantasy fans on LJ in the Ottawa and Gatineau region:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ottawa_sf. If you know someone else from hereabouts who hasn't gotten the word yet, please pass it along!
Sad Hockey News: One of the greats of modern hockey, Bobby Orr, lost his Dad today. Word from the CBC for confirmation.
Mr. Orr, I'm so sorry...
More later, people. Comments if you want to share'em...?
