New Stuff: Hamlet & Sketches

Post by Greg Stephens »

This week I'm finally posting some new artwork to the site.

Today's a preview of my "15-Minute Hamlet" project- an adaptation of the Tom Stoppard play of the same name. It's Hamlet on fast-forward. When performed by actors on stage, hilarity ensues; when adapted as a comic it's just an exercise- a warm-up to the real thing. I'll be posting the actual pages as they come. I hope to have the entire thing drawn by sometime next week.

Also this week, tomorrow and the next day, I'm posting a couple of sketches I've done recently. Nothing too special, but art anyhow.

I think this will be sort of the new way I'll be posting stuff to the site- something a little different each time so that at least I'm posting stuff. The actual Zwol comic will be resuming, but not just yet.
Good morning! That's a nice tnetennba.

15-Minute Hamlet

Have you ever seen the film that was made out of this? Bravo used to show it from time to time and I actually managed to tape it once. It's rather well done, even if the entire film is 22 minutes (sorta defeats the 15-minute thing).

No, I haven't. I've only seen long versions of the play. It would be fun to see it someday or to stage it. But I'm working up to the goal of someday doing a comic version of the entire play and this is a good warm-up to get me thinking in the right directions.

I think both projects sound great. Looking forward to seeing what you've done.
