God Bless ‘merica
Happy Fourth Of July Everyone! I have a lot to talk about and no time to write about it. Expect big news and drawn out explanations in the near future. In the mean time go eat a soydog, vegan burger, a large portion of fruit salad, and drink at least one can of Moxie. Stay […]
HiddenTreasure
While sifting through old notebooks I discovered this little gem from earlier this year: I’m pretty sure I worked on this while I watched SU lose their final NCAA game of the season. What a bummer that night was. Maybe that’s why I chose to displace this little gem from my artistic long term memory. […]
I Tried To Sing And This Is How It Sounds
Congrats to all of my seniors who graduated yesterday. I celebrated by drawing this picture on our half day schedule in honor of you…..sort of. Stay Rhythmic, Ryan Zlomek P.S. To get the full of effect I suggest listening to Killing The Dream while criticizing the picture above.
Mustache May Is Coming To A Close
Dear Fellow Hair Artists, For the entire month of May I’ve been attempting to grow a mustache. Every year in Syracuse the local punk and hardcore kids challenge each other to grow obscene mustaches throughout the month. There is nothing more comical than seeing some of your favorite friends and bands moshing with their handle […]
MAJOR UPDATE! Ithacon and more…
For the last two weeks I’ve spent all of my “free time” in my classroom editing my latest documentary Ithacon. The film covers the Ithacon which is an annual comic book convention that is celebrating its thirty-fifth anniversary. I interviewed five individuals at this year’s show and combined it with another interview and some footage […]
Video Sketch Book
Over the summer I became intrigued with the concept of a video sketch book. This basic idea consists of all the fun small editing assignments a filmmaker does to re-familiarize themselves with their editing program. Typically this footage is thrown away into digital space as the content is not saved and therefore disappears forever. I […]
When Your Classroom Becomes Your Living Room
I’ve been in and around my classroom for almost 14 hours. I think it might be time to call it a night. But first… …I’ll make another self portrait. If you listen to Former Thieves, talk with a friend from Florida on the phone, create a shadow puppet with your body, and make an inquisitive […]
“As Long As You Can Understand What I’m Saying…”
Do you value the English language? Good! I’m not the only one. Stay Articulate!, Ryan Zlomek
Dear Attention Deficit Disorder,
Please go away so I can actually get some work done. Drawn on an index card while failing to write a paper and fix my CV. I also think it might be time to invest in some new pens. Go Conquer The World People!, Ryan Zlomek
Equal Rights In A Sequential Art World
One of my long time friends (let’s call her M-cubed) has always told me stories about her openly gay cousin Dan. I’ve heard so many tales about the guys that I’m convinced we’ve been good friend since grade school. Dan is an activist, long time comic reader, illustrator, has Jim Lee style tattoos, and apparently […]
