I'm actually just incredibly impressed you still draw so well when you have a migraine! Not to mention that you're still able to string together coherent thoughts.
Oh man, Holden Caulfield fanart? Be still my heart! I love it.
Well, I cheated a little. I didn't do comics for the hours from 9 until noon, when I was languishing with a pillow over my head, trying not to barf. After noon, I could only handle penciling the panels, until I was starting to recover at around 5, when I started going back and doing the inks.
I used to change my hair for my comics every time it grew or got cut, but it got too confusing. It was like I was talking about a different character in every strip.
I think thats what I missed about the catcher in the rye. I hated that book because I had nothing at all in common with it. I lived in the suburbs and was only in my second year of high school.
I want to be the new york kid right now. chicago seems kind of lame.
file under hello, sorry, thought I'd share too. oh and, your work is awesome!!!
On the topic of relating, not relating, here's a quick anecdote about when you maybe should not relate...
I read Catcher around 15 or so years ago, back in high school. I tried to be Holden Caulfield for months afterward. I wanted to hate the same kind of phony-isms, have the same jaded attitude, and bitch about my cravings over supposed addictions... except that I was very naive back then, had nothing to be angst ridden about, and the closest thing I had to an addiction was chocolate... which even then I knew wasn't very manly, so I tried to find something tougher. I never smoked or tasted liquor in my high school years so those were out... maybe something involving coffee ...
I still wince when I think of the line I came up with in my journal: "I need a goddamned mocha."
I have that problem now...about needing a mocha. Mostly because I still don't smoke or drink. (and I'm 6 years at least out of high school)
It just seems like a book that I would understand more now in life, after going through college myself than when I was in high school worried about things like drawing dragons on my notebook. I can see how it effected people and they liked it though. I just kind of wanted to hit the guy in the face most of the way through the book :(
