1. Seth Kushner’s 30 minute Act-I-Vate video courtesy of Newsarama.
2. Moebius drawing on a Cintiq at Angouleme 2009.
I like how the Act-i-Vate Collective has used technology on all fronts to get their message out from the beginning and Kushner’s cool docupromo thingey really kicks it up a notch.
It’s fascinating though, after seeing the barrage of ideas, words, and techniques flying out of NYC in every direction, to watch the aging Moebius silently, confidently, picking up his pen, putting it to the screen, and simply drawing.

Wow. He is getting old, isn’t he? But how wonderfully comforting to not only see him draw as strongly and fearlessly as before and to be doing it while embracing a new tool. It’s great proof that computers should be thought of as just that; a tool, not a cheat, not a miracle, just a tool.
And here’s several of the others from the festival. Beautiful showcase!
