While on a Frank Frazetta art hunt (a Google hunt, of course) I found this gem.  I knew FF did a lot of comic art, but never heard about this one.

The scanned pages are over at Pappy’s Golden Age of Comics Blogzine — which is a real find in itself. You’ll just love clicking through the links and finding more good vintage comics.

A Dozen Pieces About Bill Blackbeard Worth Reading

0

When I was young, I discovered a magical place — the public library.

One of the many revelations there was that comics were treated in a scholarly manner.  I could get a great big coffee-table book of old newspaper or comic book reprints.  It was heaven.

One of the scholars and enthusiasts responsible for these books was Bill Blackbeard, who passed away March 10.

What a great name — totally suitable for the kind of guy who fearlessly collects and preserves comics.  I was a big fan of Blackbeard.

If you’d like to find out more about this ultimate comic fan, The Comics Journal has a list of articles written about Blackbeard that you can digest.

We all know that comics is an art form, don’t we?  And a valuable piece of history.

Songwriters need to record EVERYTHING

0

Record yourself and record everything.

I recently bought a small digital recorder, and it plugs in to my car stereo, awesome way to sing along with the rhythms you lay down as you are riding and thinking, turn off your radio ,let your thoughts roll, and pay attention to your inner conversations,listen for sentences that sounds like something you’ve never heard before, in a book or in a movie, always looking for unique thoughts and sentences. Listen to your friends as they gossip, or are telling you a story…

Beware of falling into this trap…

I don’t know how many years I stumbled around thinking I could “wing-it” on marketing.

Then I got serious … and started getting serious results.

One of the biggest problems you run into is how to evaluate all the so-called “marketing gurus” out there, and how to decide which course you want to buy.

Our NoteTakingNerd — Lewis LaLanne — offers up his valuable notes taken from an interview with a marketing guru.

As usual, you will be amazed at how much good information you get for free from the NoteTakingNerd.
