So, I was browsing Etsy out of boredom (still sick, no fun) and found some comics made by Justin Madson, http://www.justmadbooks.com/.

I am stunned, I love his art. I am so fed up and jealous of people like him. His art is so eye catching and neat, but its also quite simple. I love it, and maybe you will too.

Anyone know if he's on deviantArt?

I have Swine flu/Tengo Gripe Porcina...

this sucks, I can't really afford not to work, or miss classes. I'm going back to bed.

Today at 10a,m I will be participating in 24hr Comic Day. For those that don't know, its an event held all over the world in different locations (Spokane, Washington location is at Merlyns on W Main). Every artist involved will attempt to draw one 24 page comic in 24 hours. Its pretty daunting considering that most comic pages are drawn in an 8 hour period.
I'm packing up my goods tonight. Not only do I need my art supplies and paper, but also references, mp3 player, movies, and also lots of food. It will be fun.

BTW, random story: I went to the store to buy some Jarritos and some freshly made churros. While driving home, a highschool idiot runs out into the middle of the road and I step on the brakes. Jarritos go flying, shatter, and ruin my churros in the process. Next time I'm just running over the kid, we need less idiots and more churros in this world.

Members of the Spokane Comicsmiths' Guild will be at Merlyns tomorrow (Saturday the 12th) after 3pm as part of the Sustainable September Main Street Fair!

We'll be drawing free sketches for kids between 4-6 and taking sketch commissions for others. There should also be a variety of prints and original artwork for sale as well. If you're a Spokane local, swing by and say Hi, meet the Guild and pick up some art!

In addition to the Guild, Merlyns will also be host to local members of the 501st Legion from 2-4pm. Get photos of yourself with stormtroopers and more of the Galactic Empire's finest!

The Street Fair will also feature live music, entertainment, sustainability info, kids activities, bike tune-ups, food and fun! In the street - 0 block of West Main, 3-8pm.

I finally bit the bullet and bought Skottie Young's new sketchbook, entitled Junk. It may be due to the cold medicine I'm on, but I bought this $100 298 page book. Hopefully it doesn't set me back too far. Lulu is print on demand, so it will take a week to print and produce the book before they even ship it. I'm going back to bed now, feeling icky... I hate being sick.
