I've redesigned my page again!

[zer0]

I think it looks much better now! (http://www.noapologiespress.com/zer0comics) Cleaner. Better. Sleeker. Faster. Korvhund.

Please update any and all links you may have to my old page so that they link to the new one. I've removed all traces of my old page. The adress for the new one is: http://www.noapologiespress.com/zer0comics/

Thank you very much. Coming up next (in the near future, at least), a new B&S comic.

[Brent]

Damn, you're getting better daily, it seems. Nice work, I like the cleanliness of it all :)

[zer0]

Thank'ee sir. Thank'ee kindly.

[izeyoi]

wow, you guys cleaned up nice.

[Brent]

And I've reset my background to the orangy field, because it is teh most sweetest.

[zer0]

Huh, orangy field? Am I missing something here? On what page? TNN?

[Brent]

Yeah, wasn't very clear. My desktop image on my work computer is the new Bento et al. creation, featuring the orangey brown background.

[zer0]

Ah! Then you should like the latest instalment of Bento & Starchky (http://www.noapologiespress.com/zer0comics/purpose1.htm), as well. It handles complicated shit like religion, higher purpose and the terror of enlightenment. Either that, or candy. Eh, I don't know.

[Nikkoru]

a singularity made entirely of Marty Feldman? well it's a lot better than one made up of the lead singer for Twisted Sister..

Your site looks like something a high school kid designed, and the fact that you could not read the rules of a contest that you entered is a riot! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[zer0]

Yes, I'm sure my page looks "something a high school kid designed" in your expert opinion. Especially since you didn't even have the fucking talent required (http://www.wingedweb.com/resume.html) to design your own page, scumbag. (Scroll down or use search function for "Hodge")

Of course, we already knew you were an expert in terms of estethical beuty, webpages or other. Hell, one needs only look at your artwork to figure that out. Incidentally: AIEEE!!!! (http://www.cjhodge.com/paintings/blank_stare.html)

[Ceej]

estethical beuty,

Huh?

I love the fact that you linked a painting of mine that sold for $150.! BAHAHAHA that is classic!

Guess not everyone in the world does not have the same taste as you? :p

[zer0]

Money does not equal talent. Neither does a Master's Degree. You couldn't even design your own webpage and you draw like shit. I design a mean web page and draw very good. You don't even have the guts to face up to what I'm accusing you of. You are a failure.

You think that flat crap that you draw is good?

Well.........I guess we all have our own opinion.

Post some paintings that you did with real PAINT.

[zer0]

I'm an artist that works in computer arts. Why would "[...]paintings that you did with real PAINT" be better than computer artwork, anyway? What kinda standard do you judge that by anyway?

Judging how my "flat crap" looks compared to your garbage, I'd say I sink about 2-3 times as much effort into each picture as compared to you. Hell, you can't even design your own web page, so that pretty much settles it.

Post some evidence that one of your paintings actually retailed for over $100. Also, post some evidence backing up what I accuse you of in the other thread.

For the record, I do not think what I draw is good. I know what I draw is good. The public opinion is with me on it all the way.

[Ceej]

Damn man..........you are such a joke and you don’t even realize it. You equate how good someone is by how many Google hits they get? What a joke! You think that every art show has been posted on the internet? Are you serious? Plus, just about every Google hit you get by searching your name comes up with the same site! And the same comic strip! And you didn’t even draw it! You did it on a computer! Then, on your site you have pictures of other artist work! HAHHAH like posting their stuff makes you better somehow?

Why don’t you have any of your pen and ink drawing on your site? Or, anywhere on the net? How about some sketches from a sketch book? No?

You are not a real artist and would not last a day in a real Art School or University.

You want to see real comic book art? Check out this guy: http://home.adelphia.net/~moellerc/ I went to high school with him, he is a real comic book artist, he draws.You are just a joke.

It does not matter if you "are a computer artist" real artists can draw.

[zer0]

Damn man..........you are such a joke and you don’t even realize it. You equate how good someone is by how many Google hits they get?

My previous comment on you exhibiting a very low reading comprehension would be an ideal material for you to re-read here. No, I do not equate a person’s amount of Google hits with how good they are. I equate how well they can draw with how good they are. And you can’t draw worth a damn. Plus, you’re the one who, very obviously, equates artistic talent in proportion to how much money you make. One only has to look to almost every single post you’ve ever made in reply to my accusations in this forum to see how this is true.

So in your world, making loads of money equals the same as being a talented artist? As in, the more you earn, the better the quality of your artwork becomes? “Damn, man..........”, that’s like a no-talent artist saying he paints good pictures because he uses the most expensive brand of paint. And just in case you didn’t understand that last part (which I know you probably didn’t), that’s OK: it means money doesn’t make a substitute for talent.


What a joke! You think that every art show has been posted on the internet? Are you serious?

Actually, if the art show in question is a big, expensive and important show with lots of prestige involved (like you’ve lead us to believe through your previous posts), then yes; it would in fact definetely have been posted on the Internet. Real art shows are very prestigious and are usually mentioned to the public for a good reason. The fact that you haven’t taken part in any such shows just goes to show that you are in no way as important as you like to make yourself out to be. And just to clarify something here: ANYBODY can pay a fee to his or hers local art gallery and make an exhibition of his or her own works. You don’t need to be a big famous artist for that, just have the basic fee required in cash inside your wallet.

In the latter case, I’m just as big an artist as you are. Hell, I got a picture I drew in 4:th grade framed and put up for exhibition in the school library. See what I’m talking about here? That ranks up there almost as much as renting your own local art gallery and making your own “exhibition”. Just as prestigious, just as “important”.


Plus, just about every Google hit you get by searching your name comes up with the same site! And the same comic strip!

Again: “low reading comprehension” comes to mind here. The results displayed by Google are, in fact, the list of nominees presented by the Eisner committee. However, the list is being posted and recognized on dozens of pages all over the ‘net; hence the high number of hits. As I have already mentioned, I am no longer eligible for this year’s Eisner Awards but this does in no way whatsoever change the fact that the list (along with my name and comic) has spread around the ‘net like wildfire. I’m not sure where you got the “it leads to the same site” nonsense from, though. After all, one only has to look at the green text under each Google search result to see that each hit, in fact, leads to a different web site. I don’t know how you could have missed that one, but I suspect your low reading comprehension once again might be a factor.


And you didn’t even draw it! You did it on a computer!

Um… not following you here. I didn’t even draw it because I drew it on a computer? What is that, an oxymoron? Or some kind of word puzzle? Or a zen koan? “Tell me, Grasshopper: what is the sound of something that is not drawn while at the same time being drawn on a computer?” It doesn’t make any sense at all. If I hadn’t drawn the comic in the first place, then it wouldn’t even have existed. Unless you meant that drawing something on a computer is somehow less of “art” than painting something on a canvas using a brush and oil paint? In that case, you had better tell the rest of the people that were nominated for an Eisner along with me how you feel about computer art “not being a real form of artwork”. Better yet: tell it to the guys drawing Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/), which is one of the biggest digital comics on the field today and is currently being read by millions of people. Even the Eisner committee thought Digital Comics were important enough to warrant their own cathegory for an award, and they’re pretty much the decisive voice when it comes to separating good comics from the bad.

If drawing something on a computer would actually be less difficult than drawing it on a canvas, it still doesn’t explain why you can’t even design your own web page, you fucking idiot. After all: it should be easier than painting with oil on canvas, right? But you couldn’t even do it, you had to hire someone else for it. See how your own arguments and your own line of reasoning doesn’t make any goddamn sense? But then, I guess you knew that already, since your only clutching at whatever straws you can find here, right?


Then, on your site you have pictures of other artist work! HAHHAH like posting their stuff makes you better somehow?

Did I say it would make me better? No? Again: read what it actually says on the damn page before you open your mouth, and maybe you’ll look like less of a goddamn fool. The entire page containing “pictures of other artist[sic] work” is a page where I describe how much I hate contemporary Swedish comics because they’re everything that my comics are not (that is: shitty). How would posting pictures of other people’s work change the quality of my own artwork? How would it change the quality of anybody’s artwork, for that instance? You posted a link to a picture hosted online, which you claimed had been drawn by a friend of yours. OH NOES! Guess that means you think posting their stuff makes you better somehow? “HAHHAH!” Can you say “clutching at straws”, here?

Also, your “friends” picture was at least partly made on a computer. OH NOESx2!!! This means that he didn’t really draw it! Or something! It’s a zen koan wrapped in an oxymoron!! Everybody run for cover!


Why don’t you have any of your pen and ink drawing on your site? Or, anywhere on the net? How about some sketches from a sketch book? No?

Why, I have tons of sketches right here in my apartment! I constantly scribble and draw at almost every blank surface I can find. Problem is, I don’t have a scanner! Besides, as I have already mentioned, I draw all my comics in the computer. But, as I have mentioned above, why would drawing something in real life be a higher form of art then drawing something inside of a computer (see above)? It just doesn’t add up. Gee, I wonder why? Oh, I know: because you’re just making all of these “arguments” up from the top of your head, you goddamn idiot.


You are not a real artist and would not last a day in a real Art School or University.

If I’m not “a real” artist, how come I got official recognition, which is pretty much what an Eisner nomination can be summed up as? Also: I contantly get praise and feedback from people I’m friends with and whom I correspond with on different forums, telling me how good I am. You arguments just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like your brain is wired differently then everyone else’s. I begin by presenting sound, logical arguments on why I am in fact a good artist and you post seemingly random, rambling non-sequiteurs that contain “refutations” of what I just proved beyond a reasonable doubt in the previous post. Again: you’re not making any goddamn sense here. I have a hard time even understanding the point you’re trying to make.


You want to see real comic book art? Check out this guy: http://home.adelphia.net/~moellerc/ I went to high school with him, he is a real comic book artist, he draws.You are just a joke.

Again, see above. I am a real artist and have received official recognition of my work. This is more than I can say of you, regardless of your claims of being “famous”. You have no talent, you have no recognition, you are unimportant. I've continually posted references to my own artwork which looks (and is) much better than your own in every way possible. All you do is brag about having lots of money (see above) and about “being famous”. Neither of these things makes you good at actually drawing. You can’t draw worth a damn. You are a bad artist compared to me.


It does not matter if you "are a computer artist" real artists can draw.

This whole statement is no absurdly nonsensical that I actually have a hard time understanding it. Again: see above. Is it a zen koan? You’re not making any sense here. If “being a computer artist” would in any way be easier then drawing with oil on canvas, you should at least have been able to design your own web page. But you weren’t. And what you’re actually painting still looks like shit. Your whole argument is so desperate and pathetic that it almost borders on comical. I guess we can thank your low reading comprehension for that.
