…Knowledge*Never*Goes…

Lets all enjoy ourselves some of the oldest color motion picture we’ll ever see from the Kodak 1922 Kodachrome! As you can see, this also emphasizes the rise of the flappers. They were all the rage.

Have to admit, I first thought this was a movie about a post-appocolypse world where the only guy alive was stuck in a imaginary world of a empty supermarket. Then I realized it was it was even worse then I thought — he has the night shift.

Why put in all the money and effort in trying to catch fish with a regular fishing rod when you can just force them onto your boat by running them out of the water. In a way, Mark Kirby and Brendan Kearns are teaching the carps to fly.

Funny thing here is that up till now I’ve been drawing with a .5mm mechanical pencil, but as you can see below the drawings change to a much lighter lead. Reason why is because I finally switched my .5mm pencil to the awesome 2mm lead holder! After seeing David Finch and Adam Hughes using the same lead holder, I just had to get one myself (At least they look the same anyways).

After tying it out for some time now, I can say it’s one of the best mediums for penciling I’ve found so far. My lines seem to be just that more controlled causing less scratching, and I love how you can change the length of the lead so you can transition from more loose penciling to tight without having to change your grip. Also nice that unlike a mechanical pencil with all the lines looking the same, and regular pencils that always need to be constantly sharpened, the lead holder combines the greatness of a regular pencil with a mechanical pencil to make a awesome baby.

Oh, and the picture below is drawn with a H2 lead, but I later changed to a HB lead that is just perfect for me. For those who are curious, the lead holder I grabbed was a Staedtler Mars 780 lead holder. But, I wouldn’t necessarily say go out and grab one, but definitely always try to see what is best suited for you.

For the sake of not ruining Ivan Guerrero’s amazing words of description, I’ll let his writing do all the talking (below)!

What if… the Avengers movie was created years before the actual comic book?

Lost in the annals of time and space, comes this magnificent motion picture of epic proportions. Taking a page from such horror classics as “Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman” and “House of Frankenstein,” Timely Atlas Studios (the precursor to Marvel Studios), created the first superhero movie team-up. “The Avengers” featured an awesome array of characters such as Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man in a larger-than-life battle against evil aliens from the planet Skrull. Face front true believers, this one is for the funny books!

Editor’s note: I have always wanted to work with Marvel characters… in any capacity. Maybe I will someday. For now though, enjoy my little tribute to works of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and the heroes of the Marvel Universe. Oh, here’s a fun thing to do… try and count all the characters and locations that are hidden within this trailer. Did anyone spot the Stan Lee cameo yet? I have a listing of all the Easter eggs in my next video. Excelsior! – Ivan Guerrero

Birdboxstudio from the UK made this awesome short animation that also goes over the fun moment between a father and his kids while  the mother is away getting ice cream for them. It’s just so cute not to love and scratch your head over.

I oddly have the urge to have some Wendy’s coffee.. must.. resist.. training video temptation! Heed my words, once you press play the old-school-ness of it will get you to so beware! Beware of the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep~ (green dragon = Wendy’s, door step = video below).
