David and I will have a table at the MOCCA Festival this saturday and sunday. M.O.C.C.A. stands for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon art. Lots of independent artists sell their comics, illustrations, toys and various other cool stuff at this venue.
Both of us geeks will be selling various wares that we’ve created such as My Monster and Shapesmith Book, and David’s Little Guys short!!! We will also have a limited number of New York Geekcast posters to adorn your studio, bedroom or basement in your mom’s house.
And even if you don’t want to necessarily buy some of our awesome creations (Though why wouldn’t you?) you can still stop by the table and pick up a postcard, sticker, or just let us interview you about your love of comics and what you enjoy about MOCCA.
Can video games be considered works of art? That’s the question on the minds of the New York Geeks in this double-length episode. Come with us as we amble through a discussion that covers a history of art and gaming, criticism, context, artists’ intent, and Mortal Kombat.
We also finally reveal the winner of our second “Would You Rather?” contest, as well as kick off the third. If you’ve got a good answer, make sure to e-mail it to us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com.
It looks like there’s some restructuring going on at DC by Warner Bros, going by this article on the Vertigo blog: Warner Bros. Creates DC Entertainment
“There are endless creative possibilities to build upon the many significant successes already achieved by my colleagues Kevin Tsujihara and the Home Entertainment Group in the videogame, home video and direct-to-platform arenas and Bruce Rosenblum and the Television Group in live-action, animated and digital series. Collectively, we have the ability to grow a body of properties highlighting the iconic characters and the diversity of the creative output of DC Comics.” – Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group
Some of you may have heard of this already but i’m curious what you all think….
Should someone be convicted for posessing drawings of nude children?
That’s what happened to Christopher Handley who had amassed a collection of any manga he could get his hands on. That meant sometimes getting shipments with random manga inside and inside one of these japanese graphic novels their were drawings of nude children.
The reason I choose an image of Astroboy is because he exemplifies a drawing that is basically a robot kid with his shirt off and in underwear. But no one freaks out about it. If you see the show…you realize he’s a robot kid and that there’s nothing coming close to anything perverse.
It still shows that japanese culture has less of a problem with nudity in general because you’d never see a child superhero with his shirt off…robot or not.
The New York Geekcast is hosted by Nelson Diaz and David Pagano. These two self-proclaimed nerds (along with their friends) cover anything and everything dorky -- movies, music, comics, video games, television -- while bringing a unique New York sensibility to it all.
