Sitting in the kitchen, thinking about pencils.
I was sad and got dressed up to make myself feel pretty, even though I had no plans for going out. (It helped / It helps.)
Did the dishes (which is why I’m wearing an apron), made coffee, and stared at the wall.

I do a lot of things last-minute. I like the momentum and spontaneity. Also, I’m dumb. I spent most of yesterday working on my four pages for kuš #10. The theme is OCEANS. My name means ocean! Or sea. Whatever.
A big mug of coffee, multiple steeps of black tea, a Red Bull, 5-Hour Energy, Naked Juice, an apple, some bananas for hydration [citation needed], two White Chocolate Macadamia Clif Bars. Radio Soulwax and the UNIQLO calendar (on mute) Cinch‘d/split-screened to give me something to look at. Then I started looping Brandon’s jam, which was at 40(?) plays last night… and is at 88 this morning. I don’t know how much of that was from me. (YouTube, for posterity).
I was in the middle of sending in my pages, and then I noticed that the deadline is the 25th, not the 21st. I thought I was late. But I’m not. I’m going to change a few things, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’s about scuba-diving in Okinawa.

William Gibson said something about capturing the zeitgeist.
And I drew this comic in a Michael Litven / catsnrats / ebbits style.
went to the William Gibson thing at Elliott Bay last Tuesday.
I’ve only read Neuromancer, and that was in high school. I should probably read more of his books, but I follow him on twitter. That’s worth something.
I drew some cyberpunks in the audience, and wrote some stuff down.
I was going to spend New Year’s in California with my family,
but I changed my flight. And I got that kiss.
Hi, new followers!
I’m becoming more and more okay with the term “graphic novel”. A necessary evil, or whatever. But saying that all graphic novels are “pretty good” is like saying that all movies bad. Or all music is okay. I think you’re allowed to say that autobiographical comics are generally boring and you’d rather read superhero stuff, but the difference is that you’re talking about a genre, and not a medium.
The problem, I think, is that most bookstores celebrate comics as a new expression of what has already been established as highbrow by literature.
Obviously, people are going to be okay with things like Maus, Fun Home, Blankets, Persepolis because they deal with grown-up things like war, sexuality (without being pornographic), relationships, and war again.
When that dude said that graphic novels were “pretty good”, I think that his limited exposure to comics made him believe that graphic novels can only be about certain things. They can’t be about WIZARDS or something.
Yaddadamean? Yaddadamsayin’?
ANYWAY, it’s still 6:30 on the best coast but HAPPY NEW YEAR

Important clarification—I spend my nights eating Newman-O’s, not Oreos. Oreos are made with stupid crap like artificial vanillin, which is a wood...
I swear, Korra isn’t the only thing I draw ghfdsgfdsh

Sometimes, when a boy rejects me or things just don’t work out for whatever reason, I tend to harbor bad feelings about it for a really long time....
