Last night both Williams and Renault launched their Formula 1 cars for the 2009 season. In the case of the Renault they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that car is just very, very ugly.

Recently I heard about Oztion an Australian auction site. The fee structure is much better than Ebay, as sellers can list their items for free. You only pay a fee if your item sells. Whilst buyers from all over the world can browse and buy from Oztion, all of the sellers are Australian, which is a big relief. I know that there have been numerous times when I have bought items from Ebay from buyers that I thought were in Australia only to later find out that they were stationed in China.
The only down side to Oztion at the moment is that few people know about it and it is still very small. Even though it is continuing to grow by the day, as a seller you would prefer for more people to join up so there are more opportunities to sell your stuff, but I am sure that it will be only a matter of time before it starts to rival Ebay in size. I am going to give Oztion a go and I hope that more people join me in doing so too.
I am a big fan of Jack ‘King’ Kirby, but moreso for his comic book writing than his art. As you will see in these scans, there is just something with his faces that I find a bit weird and off-putting. Then again you can always tell a Kirby drawing just by looking at the faces.
Kamandi is obviously based on the Planet of the Apes movies and shouldn’t really work, but it does. Having criticised Kirby’s art I must admit I do like his animal drawings a lot. (Much more than his human drawings!)
