So... as you all may or may not know, I love comics (or graphic novels--fine, be a snob). My dream in life is to write and illustrate them for a living, and that's also generally what I do in my spare time. I have one main project, and a bunch of little ones on the side. Also, for my undergrad thesis, I'm hoping to do...

Today I went to Circus Vargas with Johnny. It was cool, but also kind of a bummer, 'cause there were so few people in the audience! I guess all the best performers and all the audiences want Cirque du Soleil now? Or is it really just that no one can appreciate an old-timey circus anymore? Johnny and I got a real kick out of it...

Aww... rejected again. I actually don't care terribly much anymore, I had a lot of fun just doing the set. ::shrugs:: I never understand what they don't like at the time, but I always figure it out by the next three months. I submitted the set for that Second Chance review thing, so there's a tiny chance they'll kind of go up anyway. Otherwise, I'll...

*sigh*
Okay, so apparently I can't have the new pics up if I want to submit them. So... if the set is rejected, then I'll post the pics again.

Yes! It's almost Wednesday... almost new comic book day... and also eat lunch with Johnny day! Damn his attractive hide!

I just put some more pics up. I apologize, they're completely raw. My physical flaws are exposed for all to see--also, my ass.
Again, let me know if the bright light makes it all look too hazy, or if it's a nice effect. I s'pose it doesn't matter though, I'm gonna submit them tonight anyway. Wish me luck!

And now it's time for some food,...

So here's the deal with those pics I just put up--I don't have a program with which to reduce the size of photos. So to put any up, I have to crop them extremely close in. Oh well...
Tell me, are the pics too hazy? The brightness of the natural light softens the edges quite a bit... Oh well, I'll find out I guess.

I think that today went very well! I'm learning to relax before the camera--be goofier, more facially expressive, and of course, more sensual.
It was just me, some favorite comics, and a BIG sword. I take it as a good sign if the photographer gets a stiff one (In this case, I was polishing that massive sword with some oil--a wee suggestive).
We were also...

Behold! I am defiant!

So I'm gonna try doing a photoset tomorrow, and you know what? I'm not shavin' the pubes. DAMN RIGHT, wtf, why does no one have pubic hair anymore??? It's not really just for the guys, right? I mean... a lot of guys I've met are surprisingly happy to see girls with pubes.
To clarify: I'm not talking about like horrendous nests...

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!!!
So awesome. Went down to Golden Apple on Melrose, got my free comics, got Mike Mignola to sign my sketchbook, went to Vegan Express for some de-fuckin-licious food afterwards.
Mike Mignola started flipping through my sketchbook looking for a place to sign, and I was so embarassed I started sweating, 'cause it's an old sketchbook with a lot of crappy drawings...

HOLY CRAP, an interview with Ben Templesmith, THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!
Okay... okay... I'm calm...
Seriously though, he's one of my favorite artists, and I love his sense of humor. I really, really, really love Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse.
I'm... so... happy...
AND tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day! Me and my friend Johnny are going to try and catch Mike Mignola at Golden Apple.
Ooh,...
