Flash Assassin

I'm swamped with work at the moment. But I just couldn't help doing up this graphic.

Suffice it to say the flash-war has gotten pretty ridiculous, so I've decided to add to the story:

As Steve Jobs and Kevin Lynch start a cat fight. They decide they might as well do it properly.

Jobs tares off his black polo-neck, whips off his blue jeans flinging some small secret devices onto the floor and puts on his two-piece swimsuit and choses his wig of choice; early 90's Whitney Huston.

Kevin takes off his German glasses and chooses a more modest one-piece and goes for the earthy head piece; early 00's Madonna.

They step into the muddy ring having water and oil flung at them by Apple and Adobe fan-boys/girls.

The bell rings. Kevin comes right out with the first punch, but freezes as the mud-fight ring updates it's version of flash. Jobs slams an aluminum iPad on Kevin's kneecap, he means business. Kevin retorts with a Matrix-like slow-motion video sequence, getting three jagged blows to Jobs' chest. The fight lasts for three rounds, with product placement galore; Kevin at one point brings out the whole Adobe CS5 Suite, climbs atop the teetering tower of discs and unsuccessfully tries to body-slam Jobs.

Eventually Kevin suffers a massive system shut down when he attempts of open too many flash enabled youtube tabs at the same time. Steve lifts his iPhone HD laden hand triumphantly, video calling his wife, asking her to put the vegan tofu on the grill.

Adobes unfounded claims.

So you know where I sit Adobe, bye bye flash. But keep the Photoshop updates coming.

The Beginning, Goodbye Scott Schuman

The beginning of an interesting journey:

Earlier this week I received an email from the one and only Scott Schuman. No my dear readers, it wasn't a congratulation, nor was it an admonition, wait, no it was an admonition but a somewhat friendly one. I have been requested to no longer use images taken by The Sartorialist due to copyright issues.

P.S. I had never seen my works up till now as derivative works, and saw each piece as a unique and engaging new work that changed the original meaning of each image in a novel and non-parasitic way. It is thus that I feel completely comfortable continuing the modus operandi of The Fake Sartorialist by creating new works (with no connection to The Sartorialist) that questions the role of fashion in our society. The power of the current fashion webspace is in the possibility of really changing the way people look at and engage with fashion, and I will try to push that viewpoint as far as possible with The Fake Sartorialist.

(or perhaps the beginning said Louis)

And so it is that one chapter of The Fake Sartorialist's creations has closed, while another has just been completed that has no connection whatsoever to The Sartorialist (promise Scott). I will soon be rolling out a few regulars like Fashion Comics and Designer Essence. With new projects like Vogue Flashbacks coming in the near future.

As for Fashion Comics, expect some to be coming your way this weekend for South African Fashion Week S/S 2010.

The Fashionistas, NYC

Tamilla and Claudette

Stasia and Marlene

"Do anything? Sure we will."

Branskia and Jennipher

Chronicling the life of fashionistas everywhere, this comic (set in NYC), takes us through the 'every-day' lives of six supermodels. It's a carrot and celery filled adventure with drama and cigarette stubs at every turn.
