Mista Hippo informed me that the World Premiere of "Dirty Hands: The Art & Crimes of David Choe" will take place in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 26th at the Mann Festival Theatre. I doubt I'll be able to make it to the premiere, but I'm going to do my best to see one of the following showings during the subsequent weekend.

David Choe is amazing. His life is as interesting as his work. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the 1997 Wondercon (shortly after the release of his mind-fucking Xeric-grant "Slow Jams" comic). He was a super cool dude.

If you ever find a copy of "Slow Jams", read it. Best masturbation sequence ever captured on paper (any dude will appreciate Choe's authenticity!).

Since the release of "Slow Jams", Choe found plenty of well deserved attention and success. You can find many of his beautiful illustrations in older issues of Giant Robot magazine. His art has been circulating the fine art world for many, many years. You'll occasionaly find his mural work in various places around the world (his amazing redesign of The Kitchen on Sunset and Fountain is a walking distance from Jerry's house!).

I recall his crazy debacle with Marvel Comics when he had done preliminary work on NYX with Brian Wood. I was blown away to find out that Choe was arrested in Japan for stealing days before an art show and was stuck in a Japanese prison for months only to find God while doing art on napkins with his food and bodily fluids. It was a pleasure to find Choe backed away from his spiritual awakening to find the same thrills he found in stealing by gambling in Vegas and screwing The Man by winning hundreds of thousands in Black Jack. You'd think his life was a big fairy tale if it weren't for the pictures.

Oh yeah, and his art? Raw, honest, dirty, and fuckin' beautiful.

Here's the trailer for the film:

Casanova: The Twins @ Work

I'm sad to see Casanova go on hiatus. It was my second favorite book at Image (our Lucha Libre Comics will ALWAYS be #1!) while it's run lasted.

Fraction's stories were dense with a manic energy that Gabriel Ba gave a sexy steely cool energy to. After the first story arc was complete, Ba left to do big things with Gerard Way on Dark Horse's "Umbrella Academy". And just as I was ready to proclaim the magic was all over, Ba's twin bother Fabio Moon came in and won me over with his suave brush work.

Now that Moon's story arc is complete, I've decided to accept that the magic on Casanova struck twice. Ba's art is fucking. Moon's is making love. And, damn it, I love them both!

I adore this video because it brings to light the contrasts in the Brazilian twins work. One's right handed. The other is left handed. One prefers inking in pens. The other prefers inking with brush. Ones grungy. The other's clean cut.

Brilliant artists on a brilliant series. Now, go out there, get famous... and come back to doing more Casanova!!!
