Detachment
It's been so cold out lately that I haven't left the house for 4-5 days. I think I'm going a little crazy.
Since I've been left completely alone for almost a week, my mind has started to wander.
I'm seriously worried about my career. I lack direction and I feel like I need to decide what to do with my life now. I have always had a passion for art but now that I try to make myself draw, its not the same. I don't know. I feel like I have no skills whatsoever.
I started doodling in a Moleskin notebook my cousin got me two years ago. When he handed it to me, I got all excited 'cause I thought it was a sketchbook. Everybody I knew had one and I was the the odd one out. Realization, inevitably, sank in.
I should finish my brown book first, though.
I really want to finish this series. I started reading it when I was 13 but somehow never got to the end. There's no way to read them all unless you buy them(they're pretty pricey). The art is beautiful and highly detailed. The characters are well developed and very human. A word of caution though, this has a lot of sex in it. I was really surprised when I first picked it up since it had kid-friendly looking art. Oh, yeah. And I guess this is kinda furry even though they're very cartoony.
Seeds of Anxiety/Fuan no Tane
I absolutely love scaring myself and this was perfect for a late night read. When I finished it at first, I didn't think much of it. The art's mediocre and the stories don't really have a continuity. The chapters are standalone accounts of supernatural encounters. Once it got dark the next day, however, I was terrified of leaving my room. XD
I am seriously stoked about the English release of Suehiro Maruo's Panorama Island. Maruo's only gotten better with time. He was even awarded the Tezuka prize for Panorama(about time!). Maruo's been my favorite artist since I was 16. When one of my friends showed me Midroi, I was blown away. Sure, it was violent and terrible but Maruo's work is so elegant at the same time. I can't really describe how I feel about his work but I guess you can say that if my style could be exactly like anyone's--it would be his.
Downloaded. Yet to read. I've looked for this for a loooooong time though.
