“Finger Prints” by Will Dinki
Minneapolis artist Will Dinski has wrapped up work on his first graphic novel entitled “Finger Prints.” Per Top Shelf’s website, “In his debut graphic novel, acclaimed mini-comic creator Will Dinski presents a haunting pastel vision of beauty, surgery, and jealousy, served with a sci-fi twist. — A 96-Page, Full-Color Hardcover Graphic Novel.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Cartoon Update: Hitting The Homestretch
I have finally made it to the homestretch on my cartoon, which is both exhilarating and scary. Seeing a doodle I made in college (of a buff rooster using a pelvic thrust to impregnate a chicken that’s 10 feet away) evolve into an 11-minute long cartoon has been a thrill. Read More

Twin Cities Zinefest 2010
Since 2004, the Twin Cities Zinefest has welcomed creatives, rebels, musicians and frustrated intellectuals to connect, create and share ideas. As the area’s premiere DIY craft, culture and self-publishing event, Zinefest often features an art show, live music, craft demonstrations, guest speakers and panel discussions. Most importantly, Zinefest plays host to some of the Midwest’s best self-made talent.

Cartoon Preview: “Cock Tales”
So what should the 3 people who care about my next cartoon come to expect from it? Well, Mom, you should expect a mature animated film about 2 roosters on a farm, so if you guessed alcoholic ponies… YOU ARE INCORRECT, MOM! I personally think it’s a huge improvement over my last animated effort because the animation is better, the design is a lot more thought out, and I spent more time on this script than the 32 minutes I had put towards the script for “A Good Day’s Work.” Funny how that can help the storytelling, huh?
The new cartoon, currently entitled “Cock Tales,” is an 11-minute short about 2 roosters on a farm, where one harbors jealousy towards the other and hatches a murder plot to snuff him out. It’s a tale of revenge, chicks, and pregnant horses. What’s not to love?
