A truly disgusting day outside, but I have plenty to feast on indoors. Kickstarter deliveries for @simonroy.bsky.social@peow.bsky.social Ex. Mag 5 (the vampire volume!!)
Reading some more Crying Freeman finally and this whole page... Every chapter has something new and truly insane. You can really see how deeply they're leaning into the weekly magazine format here. Gotta make'em come back for more
*If I go in without ANY prompts. What is grammar These prompts don't need to be from any source, it could just be "hey maybe somebody skateboarding". It helps if I have a very loose narrative in mind before I start
Also important for me to remember that if I don't practice regularly, the amount of bad drawings I need to get out before I can make anything worth looking at keeps going up. Anyway, it's nice to have a long weekend so I can use some creative juice on something that isn't work.
Realizing that I needed to think about what I want to draw before picking up a pencil is going to help me get back into doodling on traditional media. If I go in without no prompts I lose motivation almost right away. Anyway, it's nice to practice drawing without an eraser
This book fucking rocks. It captures such a clear and distinct vibe of culturally-situated early-twenties life, like Scott Pilgrim and Wendy but is as different from them as they are from each other. Viciously funny- I laughed out loud multiple times in the park. Read it!!
Like I'm not gonna post any more of this (pick it up!) but i love this approach to sequential art, a lot of adventurous paneling choices right away, keeps me on my toes and feels fresh
Reading Caroline Cash's "Girl in the World" (2021) which I picked up from Lucky's yesterday on the strength of the art alone, looking very forward to inhabiting this colourful and lived-in world for the rest of this sunny evening
