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

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

Criminal *is* his master piece. Seriously. About the only volume I don't like is the third one. The others? Gold. Simply gold.
