Tiny photo post--me and my studio. I am full of the typos today, but you don't see any because I am also full of backspace-fu.
Saw Kill Bill 2 last night. Holy shit awesome.
Oh yeah. ( photos. )
Also, although I hate Supergirl, I drew her for painting class. (You can actually see the original page taped to the wall in the studio photos.) Tried to make a Supergirl that I could like, i.e. not a slut. Feel like this was largely successful, except now I'm even sadder when I see her in the real comics. =\

Webcomic update!
I must admit, I was inspired by Perry Bible Fellowship in the making of this. X3
A quick Project Chanology update. Disappointed (this is an understatement) in police in Georgia, but proud of Anonymous in Georgia.
Finally got around to reading some of Frank Miller's Batman, that is to say, the things that came before the shit-tastic All Star Batman and Robin run that is going now. Batman: Year One is worth the read if only for the beautiful art by Mazzuchelli. God, I love that artwork so much. The Dark Knight Returns is not bad--well, I enjoyed reading it a lot, actually--and probably features the only female character Frank Miller's ever written who's not a whore. Female Robin in that story is A+ and the best part of the whole thing if you ask me.
Of course, I'm still not fond of Frank Miller's writing--there's, quite honestly, too much writing in those books, and though shalt never use cursive font and lowercase letters in comics, it's just a bad idea. Too much internal monologue. Also, too many whores. Cat Woman should not be a whore. She just shouldn't. And in Dark Knight Returns, you have Superman and Green Arrow and the Joker and Two-Face all taking such prominent roles, you know what Cat Woman does? She leaves Batman a phone message consisting of "I'm lonely," and then she gets taken hostage by the Joker. And out of all those characters, she's the only one to get fat and out of shape over the passage of twenty years.
But you know, if you get the chance to borrow Batman: Year One (actually, due to Mazzuchelli's amazing art, that one's actually worth buying) or to borrow The Dark Knight Returns, they do make for good reading.
