Say Goodbye,2009.

I can't really describe 2009 in a good way, though I know it wasn't too bad. I came to an understanding in my life that I feel like I wouldn't have if things would have been different. I don't wanna sound all dramatic and weird, but I feel like I have matured and it's now time to start using what I know for better things.  


And with that I feel like it's time for a rebuild in my life. I need to take chances, motivate myself and do a better job taking care of myself. 


I know 2009 has been a very shitty year for mostly everyone. I hope everyone feels like starting off fresh and feel like things will be different in the new year.  


Change is good. Change is welcomed. 


And with that, I have some fan art to share. This is the first sketch I did of Rogue that I like. I always drawn her odd and off for some reason. And she's one of my favorite characters. :(
 
And Catwoman. 
 
I have been using Brush pens and I like them alot. They also help with my problems with antomy because when I use them I can draw the anatomy without concentrating on it. Because when I do, I throw my drawings off I believe. Anyway I need to buy more. Once spring comes I can go out and draw some real humans. 


I should go to bed early tonight. I want to do something tomorrow something that involves the outside world.

Pictures speak better

I am not in a writing mood today.  Feel like so much is going and then nothing. I hate ups and downs. I like consistency.

So, if I am not fumbling about this city,I am reading, "Love and the time of Cholera" (someone forgot to tell me this was a tragic love story. Probably couldn't put zombies in it huh?) and looking at fine art by fine people.
People who inspire me to get better.

audrey kawasaki's artwork is beautiful and it's mostly done on wood. And I can only imagine what it looks like in person. :'D

 Paul Pope is one of my new favorite artists. Hi- fructose magazine did a story on him and I found most of his graphic novels at the library (hurrah for libraries!) As you can see he has also manged to break through the golden gates of comics and draw dc/marvel's signature characters. I prefer his own work though (Heavy Liquid and 100%)

I have tons of other artists and writers who I greatly admire, but these two are my current favorites.
The rest are random pictures that I have seen around all the art sites I go to.

Junko Mizuno's work can best be described as "Fairy tales on a 70's acid trip".

Ashley Wood's Tank Girl.

The Invisible woman will never be this Booty-licious again.

Rogue is such an underrated marvel character. She put Ms.Marvel into a coma and stole her powers. She needs more attention.

I joined Concept Art because I saw this picture.

Maybe if they would've changed Catwoman's suit it would've been a better movie? Seriously, that suit was horrible.

At the Head.

Days pass. Things Change.  I am waiting patiently to see what I'll have to do for next year.

I am such an impatient person. I wish I had other things to occupy  my time but I don't.

Once I know for certain on what I need to do, I'll be more motivated.

But I am not a whiner. I gave that up awhile ago. It's now all about figuring how to continue going down the right path and not getting myself into trouble.  Luckily trouble doesn't follow me too much. Just in random spurs.

I got to meet Harvey Pekar, (He's most known for American Splendor,but has written numerous stories and was once an avid Jazz collector.) He talked mainly about how he got into comics and the progress it was to get to where he is today. He talked about his days with Robert Crumb and how they started working together. He did talk abit about the movie. He pointed out that the only reason why he did the movie was because he was being paid. And when the movie turned out to be good that was just a bonus.

He touched on alot of different  subjects, a big one was the state of the publishing companies. He currently has 4-5 books in limbo because of the demise of publishing companies and fear of them getting wiped off. It's crazy about what's going on but hey, it a recession, only rich people have anything and the rest of us are just floating. I never expected to be rich from making comics, it was about being happy from making comics. We all should be able to do something that makes us happy even if it doesn't leave you with riches and jewels. Even if I always have a side job, If I am able to make and publish comics, I'd be pretty set with that. And who knows maybe I won't even need one.  Rambling.

All in all,the talk was pretty good. I got something signed and sounded like a fool as always. I have been going to shows and meeting bands since I was 15 and I'm still an awkward girl. I am slowly replacing my music days with my comic days.  I am ready to let go of all the reckless part of my youth. Hello, adulthood I am ready to work so I can be a lazy old woman in the future.

Ugh Norbit is a horribly bad movie, But you can't look a way. It's that bad.

So I didn't get to go to Meet the Writer for Neil Gaiman but I think this one was alot better. Plus it was in one of my old neighborhoods on the westside, across the street from my middle school. I was thinking about if I do "The Lonely Hearts Project" I might based it on Cleveland or Chicago. I might never named it actually. Just a random 'quasi-big city' in the northeast. Ah we'll get to that when it comes.

It was thanksgiving the other day. A nice holiday to celebrate nothing at all. I would say something rude about the holiday but we all know what happened no need for me to repeat it. :D I barely celebrate holidays anyway. I don't really care. I'm not expecting anything for christmas and it's okay. Christmas is a children's holiday.

I did get to hang out with E and Tiffers. Tiffers was in from bowling green and we got to talk,hang and eat. We were suppose to go to Melt, but it had a 2 hour wait and we didn't want to wait that long. That's what happens when you go out on saturday night and all the yuppies are out. Old yuppies to be exact.

Ended up eating at a bar down the street where I had a ok hamburger,good curly fries and a nice long island ice tea. Then headed back to Tiffers house where we go drunk and tried on wigs and snuggies. Like old times. Can't drink cheap liquor though.

And since I have decided to participate in "What I wore today" here was last saturday's outfit:

Dress shirt: AE secondhand

Jeans: True romance(or something else.IDK)

Boots:offbrand

Hat: Areopostle

Details. (would've had a better show if my drunk ass didn't delete it. :/)

Necklace: Claries

Stingray pin: Salvation army

I have been lurking about the fashion blogs and such and realized that I should start showing off my style and stuff I want to experiment with. I'm pretty happy with the way I look and I do like dressing up and being creative with my clothes. Because clothes are suppose to be fun and expressive.

I'm tired of yapping. Here are some sketches I did with some brush pens. I love brush pens I think I am going to start using them more. If I get a better handle on those I'm sure I can start working with ink and brushes.

And here's a random sketch of Poison Ivy. Mainly drew it because I have been reading  'DC: Covergirls'.

I was never a big fan of mainstream DC comics, Vertigo is much more my speed. But I think I do want check out more Batgirl storylines esp with Cassandra Cain as new batgirl.

I'm off to eat something good,make some chai tea and watch the always sunny in Philadelphia Christmas special.

I leave you with Chewie being a brat:
