Miller_Fan142

While the subject of comic bookery may be an alien concept to most people, I relish in it. One of my prized possessions is a copy of Batman: Year One in excellent condition; indeed, when I flip through it, I can smell the residue of Frank Miller's genius.

So, in that vein, I have chosen to emulate the style of his comics for the self-portrait I have to do in art. Observe:

From Self Portrait...


The basic pencils. I think it does a pretty good job of recreating myself in 'comic' form; and, to be perfectly honest, I think it's pretty damn snazzy.

Now I just hope that I don't screw it up completely with the paints like I did my OTHER self portrait. As of writing, it looks like I painted a burn victim. Yeah. Nasty.


In other news, Samsung have released a 40" full HD television. Now, that's pretty common nowadays. But the big selling point is that it's only 1cm thick.



1cm.

It makes my Bravia look positively OBESE. Hell, it makes ANY TV on the market look huge.

And I want one.

But until it becomes profitable to put off coursework until the last possible minute, I'll have to pine alone. Sans-Samsung.


Sraen Out.
