I just drew a medieval knight riding a velociraptor. Lol, my homework.
(Actually, I'm not sure I can use it as homework - I'd already planned to do it before the teacher suddenly changed the subject, and now it doesn't fit anymore, but by then I'd been overtaken with the whole ZOMG dude riding a dinosaur!! thing, haha.)
Well, the snow wasn't nearly as much yesterday, once it turned to ICE. All over the city. I lost count of the times I slipped. I didn't feel as pathetic in account of absolutely everyone walking slow with little steps, looking straight to the ground. That is, we all looked like penguins. It was incredibly cold but I braved it and went shopping - i got myself an incredibly cheap, incredibly bland pair of wellington boots, some more groceries and --- comics! I found the prettiest, coziest little comic book store ever. So now I'm the proud owner of: Superman Secret Identity, Criminal (Ed Brubaker's supposed masterpiece) and DMZ: Friendly Fire. AND, best of all, XOXO, James Jean's postcard collection. It's so beautiful I want to just keep looking at it and pet it and coo at it all day long. ♥
And now, of course, I feel semi guilty already because my mom just read me my account's balance. Er. I've spent SO MUCH these past few weeks, although it's mostly been a bazillion groceries and pots and duvet and pillows and stuff. Still. Er. That said, though, that also includes both a trip to Chester this sunday and a two day trip to Edinburgh next weekend, and those were pretty good inversions. THEY TOTALLY WERE, OKAY.

also, your homework sounds awesome
I was watching a film noir movie the other day and Ed Brubaker drew a four page comic for the accompanying booklet. Too bad the library does not have the booklet

Oh, man, really? You mean he can DRAW too? That's some serious multitasking... What was the movie?
(no subject)
aww shoot I read it wrong...the name was covered and I assumed it was Brubaker
PLUS A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Terrence Rafferty and a four-page graphic-novel adaptation of the film by acclaimed artist Sean Phillips (Criminal, Sleeper, Marvel Zombies)
interview with Sean Phillips about the movie and Criminal
