Scott Pilgrim 5 Status:
I'm about to start drawing it.
Projected release:
December 2008
There's a Scott Pilgrim movie?
What drawing tools do I use? People always ask. Here are the answers. Best-Of: My Online Comics
Older drawings: I have an annotated archive of drawings from 2005 and earlier here. NOTE: I usually sell original artwork (the pages from Scott Pilgrim), but am currently unable to do so, due to my immigration status. |

 Scott Pilgrim Vs the World movie news: Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Ramona Flowers EDIT: the original Hollywood Reporter story appears to be moved or missing. Here, though, is the nicest article I've read, from firstshowing.net. (Also, PS, anyone who introduces Ms. Winstead as a "babe" or "hottie" and/or illustrates their blog/article with a Maxim-style lingerie shot: wow. I have no respect for you.)

I feel like I have a never-ending supply of old notes, sketches, odds and ends, but, uh, I don't. Anyway, here's some more. That page there is the FIRST PAGE EVER DRAWN! And if you click here, you can see the original plot outline for the first half of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, scribbled down the margin of a page of notes. On my flickr there's some other stuff, like pages of script, and I even dug up one of the original release party flyers. thoughts (2004) May. 14th, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Early notes as I prepared to write the first Scott Pilgrim. Click to make big. Note uncertainty about the band name, etc... it was a while before I was fully comfortable with "Sex Bob-omb". Because it's idiotic. But at least it's idiotic in a way that is true to the characters! I found some earlier notes (from 2002) and see that I had whittled the characters down from a larger number. Stephen Stills was the last "final" character to appear. Young Neil was named first - although he was originally an actual young kid, for HILARIOUS purposes - and Stills flowed naturally out of that, I guess. Originally, Scott had a number of friends based on old characters I made up in high school and stuff. Of these, only Kim Pine survived (thank god). He also had multiple roommates. I am really happy that I figured out a little thing called "narrative economy" between conceiving this book and executing it. Anyway, this scrap of notes is from pretty much immediately before I wrote the first book. I missed this one May. 14th, 2008 at 3:24 PM
The Portland Mercury interviewed me last week prior to our signing. Whittled down to three questions. Easily digestible. Go for it. Day 2: Con Exhaustion Sets In May. 12th, 2008 at 12:53 AM
Hope felt a bit sick today (for which there a multitude of possible reasons - travel, germy convention-goers, etc), so we took it relatively easy. I got a good night's rest and avoided "Con Sunday Syndrome", feeling bright and rested as I got to the show. But Hope felt ill, came for a few minutes and couldn't hack it. I only stayed a few hours and packed in early to nurse her back to health. I only bought one thing at this con: a REVOLTECH GETTER-1 robot toy. I am very stoked about it. I also had a chance to stop by Urban Outfitters and pick up a totally awesome Japanese Tony the Tiger Frosted Flakes t-shirt. Thanks to everyone who came out, and sorry to anyone who missed me late in the day after I'd left. Fortunately, it was a much slower crowd than yesterday, so I'm not too ashamed. Most of you got to me on Saturday. Con exhaustion has caught up to me, too. I feel half-dead, and we're waking up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow to sit in airports and on planes all day long. Emerald City - Wish you were here May. 11th, 2008 at 3:50 AM
Here's the only photo I took today, of my favourite con sketch from today. I am pretty tired. Hope and I hung out and had Indian with Jacob, Brandon G., Marion C. and Erik (Lars) Brown. One of those cartoonist evenings. Good times. The Seattle Hyatt is nicer than the Century City (Los Angeles) Hyatt. There, I said it. Reminder: Emerald City Comicon, Saturday-Sunday May. 10th, 2008 at 3:47 AM
Hope and I will be in Seattle tomorrow. We're coming up from Portland and we'll probably be a little late, in case you're planning to be first in line at the show. Wait patiently and we should be there around noon! Hope has: Gray Horseses, Salamander Dream(s), t-shirts, and one beautiful preview copy of Chiggers for you to ogle I have: books (at Oni), original art, posters, and new t-shirts! (first run, black only) We're sharing a table, somewhere. Reminder: Cosmic Monkey, Portland, Thursday May. 6th, 2008 at 7:33 PM
 We're heading to Portland tomorrow. Portlanders(?), don't forget to come to the Hope Larson and Bryan Lee O'Malley signing extravaganza! Thursday, May 8th 6-8 PM COSMIC MONKEY COMICS 5335 NE Sandy Blvd Portland OR www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com The back show May. 4th, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Just a brief note to say that I'm back home. We're going out to Portland in a few days, though, and Seattle on Saturday. See you there? |
