"The Shining" o "Insólito esplendor" es una novela de terror clásica de Stephen King, publicada en 1977. Cuenta la historia de Jack Torrance, un escritor en crisis que acepta un trabajo como cuidador en el Hotel Overlook durante el invierno. Jack lleva a su esposa y a su hijo pequeño con él, pero la soledad y el aislamiento comienzan a afectar su cordura. El hotel parece tener una vida propia, y los eventos sobrenaturales y terroríficos comienzan a ocurrir. La novela ha sido adaptada a una película icónica de Stanley Kubrick en 1980, y una secuela publicada por King en 2013. ----------------------------------------- Aquí les va algunos datos curiosos: - King se inspiró en su propia estadía en el Hotel Stanley en Colorado para escribir la novela. Según la leyenda, el hotel está embrujado por los espíritus de los antiguos huéspedes, y King tuvo una experiencia aterradora en una de las habitaciones. - La novela contiene varios elementos sobrenaturales, como la habilidad de Danny de ver visiones y comunicarse telepáticamente con otros. King se inspiró en su propia experiencia de haber tenido visiones cuando era niño. - El personaje de Jack Torrance está inspirado en el propio padre de Stephen King, quien luchó contra el alcoholismo y la violencia doméstica. - El libro contiene varias referencias a la poesía y la literatura, incluyendo a Shakespeare, Tennyson y Coleridge. La famosa frase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" ("Todo trabajo y nada de diversión hacen de Jack un aburrido") que aparece en la película, es una referencia al proverbio inglés. ------------------------------------------ "El Resplandor" es una obra que invita a reflexionar sobre temas profundos y a veces incómodos de la condición humana, y que plantea preguntas relevantes sobre la naturaleza de la realidad, la salud mental y las relaciones familiares. #TheShining #StephenKing #StanleyKubrick #OverlookHotel #ShelleyDuvall #JackNicholson #Mystery #Horror #HorrorMovies #CinematicCuriosities #LiteraryAdaptations #JackTorrance #DannyTorrance #OverlookHotel #HorrorFiction #Supernatural #LiteraryReferences #Alcoholism #FamilyRelationships #CuriosidadesLiterarias #CuriosidadesCinema (en Planeta Tierra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_1eqWuHa7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working on throwing together some random panels to contrast environments and further test colors for Paradise Lost. As we get closer to finishing the DUNE Tarot Deck's major arcana, I feel like PL stuff is getting a little lost in the sauce, so to speak. So here are base pencils before we go in with final pencils and watercolour. ♡ #paradiselost #johnmilton #satan #gardenofeden #heaven #hell #fallofman #milton #literaryadaptation #sequentialart #comicscreator (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CObM7GNjl1O/?igshid=pqz74yp2tw1z

Life Is Strange (Adaptation) - Part 3.1 (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/nY3mj3Zoq4 The game Life Is Strange made by Square Enix and Dontnod, has a gripping story of love, time travel, action, and decisions. I want to bring this amazing story to non-gamers as well as people who are as interested in the game as I am. All credit for the original story goes to its creators, I'm just going to write down a version of it.

Please feel free to read and share and like and comment. I’m updating this semi-regularly now (2020) and it would be great to know I had some readers. 

Looking back on one of my favorite graphic novel experiences : James Ellroy’s “The Black Dahlia” (Casterman/Rivages in France, Archaia in the US). With a brilliant script adapted from the original novel by Matz and filmmaker David Fincher. #graphicnovel #literaryadaptation #theblackdahlia #crimefiction #jamesellroy #matz #davidfincher #losangeles #lanoir #hollywoodland #polar #ledahlianoir #casterman #castermanbd #rivagesnoir #archaiacomics (at Ile-de-France, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYToAHvsmz2/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's been a long time coming. I've been wanting to post this for a few weeks because I have been intermittently weeping and beaming since meeting with the writer to show him that the page roughs of Paradise Lost are finally complete. People who are not in comics are usually surprised to learn that the page roughs are the hardest part of working on a comic. Alterations based on panel calls, clarification in visual storytelling, and the greatest part of collaborative problem solving comes at the roughs stage. PL was scripted in at 230 pages and is coming in at a completed 241. Next comes colour tests for the full sized pages, and then we get down to work. I am so excited to be able to post more about this project and start to show it in all its completed glory! I am planning on adding a day in the next month or two to streaming to work on these pages (art only, and not consecutively) just to give people who are curious a look into the process of working on a graphic novel and what that entails, so if you are interested please stay tuned! Also, anyone who is a subscriber on twitch gains access to a sub- only chat that gives advanced peeks into PL and clips of pages in order, so please consider supporting me and the project!♡ 🌌 To watch art being created in-process, please check out http://twitch.tv/kneeknockers for days and times of streams 🌌 To order prints or pre-order the DUNE Tarot deck, please visit http://kneeknockers.net under "Store" 🌌 To keep up to date on project details, join our discord!

Second wisdom tooth out😰... The first one was a lie; this one didnt take only 10m and is far more painful. Working on pages in the hopes that it will provide some welcome distraction. . . . . . #paradiselost #graphicnovel #milton #comicsadaptation #comicartistsoninstagram #sequentialart #literaryadaptation #pagelayouts #sequentialartist #indiecomic #chicagoartist #johnmilton #heavenandhell #eden #adamandeve #satan #graphicnovelartist (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVxOyzjHi9/?igshid=1f5bbzft7xcp8
