okay, so i was doing my traditional end-of-semester purging of my living space, and i found some old comic pages i had discarded (don't worry, i am now keeping them all in a folder, even if i am never going to use them) and i was reminded of why i've resisted doing a graphic novel for so long. the medium requires consistency, which i severely lack.

ReplyDeletei really wish i was as good as you with pen. its great. i've decided that black pen is my new favorite medium. its so great. you're so great. i am going to see you in like, a week. great. just great.
my favorite is the one where matt damon is sitting on the porch drinking a can of beer/coke, and then he is leaning over the balcony. i just love the linework. does that sound pretentious? i think it does but i like the way that sounds: linework.

ReplyDeleteWERE GOING TO SEE EACHOTHER SOON!
