Sequential Art? and other lies!

 
Hi guys. Been reading lots about the industry and how it sees itself, and there is a huge focus on defining things (webcomics) as sequential art collections and whatnot. Many artists see themselves as falling into other varied categories and subgenres etc.
 
The narrative, gag, timing and art elements need to be done consistent and abide by some form of connective law or constraint. Thus we start to see a homogenised product in such and such format.
 
At HellTown you have probably noticed that some pieces of art are sequential and others clearly one off gags. However there's always an underlying element of connectivity apparent mostly to the artist alone but can be unlocked by suitably perceptive readers...viewers and interracters.
 
Any way there is so much content in the webverse that there are always things to be found resting snugly just outside the peripheries of sense and suitability, but they exist nonetheless.
 
Check by on Monday for our next artistic ejaculate. Thanks for sticking by us. Let's talk, do lunch, rape and murder small... I mean  umm. Subscribe or email (helltown@live.com.au) to avoid the worst of the government shutdown, Obama-ocalypse.

When Flavour is more than Good Taste

 
Happy Friday scumbags.
 
Here at HellTown we have a special interest in all things food, Expecially "degustation" fancy Heston Bloomenthralls Bullshiite. We find it not only insulting but demeaning as well. These fancy foodie restaurants and chefs shit out  a bunch of weird tasting and raw stuff on a massive white plate.
 
Bull shit... Food is for people, it nourishes body and soul, it makes you happy, not pensive and thoughtful, or shocked... Who likes to be shocked by flavour when paying $75 + for the experience... Bullshits.
 
The chefs rave about the flavours they are creating and experimenting with but come on. Where's the chef that doesn't smoke, so not many then , the rest lie about how their bullshit disgustastion treats taste for us idiot eaters out there.
 
 
Most people order much the same foods as they ordered last time, 'they know what they like from last time.' does the customer ever know what they like? Not according to foodie wankers.
 
Please subscribe to take your experience to the next level. Thanks for checking us out today, please share and express yourself to your fancy friends online. Lots of love

Gak Find Fire Part 5.

 
Hi yall, and welcome to the dramatic return of Gak on his seemingly impossible quest for fire... It has been some time since the last instalment and I is sorry. Whatevs. Um.. like GTA5 is taking over my life, but I am getting back in control sort of. Anyway. you probably noticed my ultra sneaky deployment of blog address. Very clevr totes pro as eh?! I do this in the vain hope of +1ing my blog etc.... Also I am realising that there may be ownership issues with free content and content for contents sake, I do still want the creation to be pinned to my existence here.
 
I feel that my toons are a part of my spirit and all that stuff. But I hope that you like how the universe is shaping us, and please keep sharing, and visiting and participating in our communication dance. Check out pinterest and feedspot for us and click the things that apply. We can always be friends, wherever we go...

Consume and commodify pt 2

 
Morning gang. Not here but maybe somewhere.... As an addendum to yesterday's article the issue of competitive pricing "specials" "bonuses" "New" and other terms, labels and badges that nearly cover every packet on every shelf in the worlds. How many new and special value things do we need?
 
Are these things truly special? As a new born baby is special... An occassional special treat that is. Or are they really just more of the same mundane shit we have come to expect.
 
More Vs Better, not better advertising telling us how much more value things have, but actually making, selling, swapping and giving away good things of value... Is it really that hard?
 
Keep in touch with your sinister friend by subscribing, or liking this post. Share this with your friends and they will want to do a pooh with you touching them... We are on facebook where there are other more different and varied things to experience as also.
 
Yours

Consume and Commodify, Upsize and Upsell.

                 

          Hey There. Welcome back to the most fringiest undergroundiest and funniest blog on the Earths. So the consumption of commodities is what we do and these commodities are sold to us at ever increasing volume and cost, but are sold to us as being more better and bouncy, shiny and new than the last hunk o craps what came along.

         To the thrust now, must a cartoonist conform to such commodity markets that drive the economy into the ground. Some would argue that this is the ultimate and most obvious goal, make things sell them make money, derb?! But is it so???

        The huge successful cartoonists in the whirled have all been upsold and packaged and shipped off etc. To what end, they are rich, fancy puppets... Perhaps they still hold a modicum of the creed. Dunno. Do you?


      The argument comes back to : more vs better.    User pays motherfucker and in most cases that means audiences pay, for things they ought look at for free and as often as they fucking want. "Art" is for the public(peeples) other wise it aint fono one.

       Free content and content for contents sake is where we sit here at HTI and we aim to please our selves whilst watching you pooh. We are essentially a non-profit charity what hopes to do little more than entertain.

      On this note, we aim for infamy and notoriety over fame and riches. Friends and networks above consumption and production. It's a fucking stream and we're fucking in it..........


       Ok, add on facebook and that. please like and share if u feel the vibe here and want to be a HellTown thrall. Try subscribing for that extra nice after mouth feel.
