I spent so much money on Comic Salon Erlangen this weekend. Oh god. But it was well worth it (Leyendecker artbook, Ian McCaig artbook ♥♥, Batman B/W Collection Vol 1, Eagles of Rome II, first Issue of X-Men: Magneto and Rai bought "Hall of Fame 16", consisting of a few selected Don Rosa comics.) I also got a paper fan with V's face on it. Very classy. I kept running around with it in front of my own face, declaring myself Anon.
In addition, I had a few artists draw sketches into the con-book. (Gilles Mezzomo, Nic Klein, Guido Neukamm, Thierry Gloris&Benoît Dellac, Davide Gianfelice, Patrice Pellerin. Simon Eckert drew me a fantastic viking, still so happy about that one), which was super rad.
I wanted a full sketch by Gianfelice, but no chance. I was lucky enough to get his autograph and a 30sec sketch. Without a number it was almost pointless to try. BUT STILL. ♥_♥
There were so many great artists whose book-signing I missed out on, tho (that or failed to get a number :C) but all in all, it were three great days, if somewhat stressful. A pleasant break from the horrible work that is F&F. Once when we returned on Sunday, it was like we never left in the first place, however. Work work work. :/ I feel like such a failure because of this. So many things I don't know or cannot simply do. What's the point of drawing? A question I've been asking myself lately.
Also, I keep thinking of F&F furry porn. That ain't funny. D: God. What's wrong with me? Must be the heat (and Rai's sexy drawings for the new issue in a more steam-punk-ish style). Here, to banish these horrible images:

Speaking of Watchmen, I saw a Dr Manhattan in Erlangen. Oh my, but he was gorgeous. Asya took a picture of him and I, but IDK if I will ever see it xD ah well.
The air smells so sweet and warm these days, like summer. So very intense and startling. It has become warmer too, I have almost forgotten what the sun feels like on bare skin. I bought a dress at H&M for the occasion, since everything I owned at the time during Erlangen were black jeans and a few woolen black shirts... not very practical at 25°C.
Aaaand that's essentially it.
