Everything old is just gonna keep coming back, YEAH.
Did much less cleaning today. However, I did sign up for yet another comics course (it's a free MOOC from the California College of the Arts!) and I also actually did some test scribbling, so I don't get out of the habit. And actually, it's a thing I think would work super well as a comic anyway, since I've never had too much luck translating it into prose.
Not going to lie, in the world's best getting-ahead-of-myself move, I checked available domain names and contemplated whether it was better to host a comic on WP or Tumblr.
But, uh. That is very getting ahead of myself. Still, for background, this is the story that came from a combination of longing for the fiction that SPN could have been and a deeply hilarious photoshoot Tom Hiddleston apparently did in late 2011. It turned into a rockabilly psychopomp story. It stars, as ever, the explosive Jon Spencer, but younger and smilier. Anyway, an illustrator friend on FB started chatting with me on a post, and she asked if I was going to keep going with the nine-panel format. My goal right now is just to keep drawing every day and not let this thing I enjoy fall through my fingers, but she recommended rereading Watchmen for the nine-panel genius therein, and I started wondering what could you keep doing in a nine-panel sort of way, and... well.
I learned that I don't know what guns remotely look like, nor what hands do when they hold them. (The woman, Lindy, is also holding either a coin or a stone, not a horse pill. Details!)
I mean, yeah, it's a sketch I did while under a lot of covers trying to decide if I was going to take a nap or not. (I did! It was great! And now I'm very awake and have watched a couple episodes of Master of None and I have 2400 words to write today if I'm going to catch up on GYWO, so... I gotta do some of that. My Things I'm Verbing links were really good today, though. I have accomplished that.)
It's going to actually be in the 20s and 30s tomorrow, instead of hovering near zero, not counting below-zero wind chills. I haven't left my apartment in like, three days. Oh my god, I can't wait to get out.
