- Yeah, I know… You’re going “What the devil is that?!?” Well, I came across something that should have been an available option online long before we artists knew we needed it constantly. After a good two to four years of life drawing, how many chances do we have in finding moments to brush up and refine those basic skills? Well thanks to this little Japanese site I came across, I may never have to worry about losing my ability to create the human form. Pose Maniacs has created a flash site, that tests your life drawing skills, from beginner to advanced. Shown only in the muscular form, these act as a simple guide to studying the human for drawing and design. These are timed poses, that give a chance to sharpen your knowledge and strengthen any weakness you may have. And of course, no artist will deny a refresher every now and again. I apologize if there is only one link on here, but you guys happen to come across another version or idea behind this smart tool, please let me know…

- Vektor Junkie, a small web magazine is taking a call for submissions until mid-June for what else? Character Designs!! Since Mojizu has been rolling out some great ideas from so many artists, now is the time to take what you all have learned and try for that next step!! But remeber, this is vector based characters only… i.e. Illustrator, Corel, Freehand… IF you just managed a copy of CS3, don’t left is just collect dust… put it to it’s full potential!! I hope to you see one you guys make it in… alongside myself… Oh, that would be nice!!

- Okay, this guy may seem to be a little squeemish, but I think it’s a cute way to learn too… Gnagno is a new plush pet, which you can open up to play with his little plush insides too. He got the majors… intestines, liver, lungs, brain, and heart… which is played alot into an interesting concept here. This is the type of toy you help children learn a little with, but they have something they can hug and sleep with, and all sorts of stuff… I dunno, I really am growing attached to this idea… Check it out!!

- Anyone familar with Slave Labor, should pretty much know who Jamie Smart is… This is the guy responsible for the series Bear. Well, upon recently, he is also taking on another little series, amongst the many others he does for fun at his website Bohda Te. Angry Little Robot is a weekly comic, feature a character of said title… basically, he is out to give the human race what for… ALG is not predjudice either… as you can see from above. If you love the Bear series, this is a highly enjoyable read to get into, and very reminscent of Smart’s style and humor. And if you are picky about were you go, no worries… ALG is everywhere… Bohda Te, MySpace, DeviantArt… You can’t miss it!!
- Angry Little Robot updates every Monday… GRRR!!

- Yes, this has been popping up in many places… and yet, I still can’t help but watch it over and over again… Sigg Jones is the work of several students at the animation school Supinfocom… a place known to belt out some high-class works. What stands out in “Jones” is sharp character creation and animation… interwoven with video game style action. Almost feels like two vinyl characters brought to life… All I can say is… LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!! … And now, I think I will watch it again…

- A good friend of mine and fellow Mojizu member Duzty looks to be making himself a little more noticeable these days. While some of his work has been popping up in various places, he has modified the shirt design that he won over Mojizu and is taking to the people. His preorder looks to wrap up around the end of this month, but you all still have time to get in on this amazing looking shirt!! Here a quick snip from the page…
