New Location, also Comics

Me and Adam are presently renting a nice little apartment 3 blocks south of his work or 98th Ave and 104th St. We've got a 3 month lease on it, and will be getting phone and internet on Wednesday.^_^

It's nice to be one 20 minute busride from school, cause I have SOOOO much work to do. IF I can manage to get off my lazy butt, this week, I will be going insane from working.

Also, Saturday was 12 Hour Comic Day. It was basically a 12 Hour Comic Jam and was a lot fun. I even got my picture and a quote in the Edmonton Journal. Yay!

Can't wait for May.

24 HCD pictures!

Here's some pics and a couple pages of my 24 hour comic that got posted on the Facebook group.

24 Hour Comics Day

24 Hour Comics Day was this weekend. It was a blast, but I am soooo tired. I was sitting by Rob all day, so I was able to borrow some of his art supplies and he drew me some awesome gun and werewolf references.

I finished my comic in good time, but I think my content was a bit of a disaster. I ran out of story ideas and ended up drawing dancing art supplies and a giant, crying Sharpie. Then I drew a monkey punching a cobra. my creative pools had gone dry by that point.

Regardless of my sleepiness, I had a great time and really wanna do it again, next year.:)

On another note, I have been making Big Wolf on Campus videos with iMovies.^_^ http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Xgirl1251

I also had to order the City Drive cd on HMV's website since even WEM didn't have it. I've got 5-15 more days of waiting to go!

R.I.P Mike Weiringo

Comic artist Mike Weiringo died last night of a heart attack.:(

He was one of the greats and will truly be missed as both an artist and a wonderful human being. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Rest in peace, 'Ringo.

Comics, Ikea and Jones

Comics:

I had heard that Happy Harbour was having a sale of 80% off back issues. My brother buys back issues almost entirely, so I figured he'd want to go.

I ended up getting $82.50 worth of comics for 30 bucks. Pretty sweet deal. Some stuff was consignment, so there was no sale on it.

I got:

The Avengers #236

The Flash #330 and 332

Doctor Strange #29 and 48

The Blue Beetle(Ted Kord) #1-4

Batman #440-443

Spiderwoman #4-7, 32 and 49

I decided to check out Doctor Strange and Spiderwoman, cause those characters interest me for some reason.


Ikea:

I always thought it would be cool if Ikea let you stay overnight in the store or if they had a hotel. I would totally stay in an Ikea hotel. Now, my dreams are finally coming true... in Oslo, anyway.

In Oslo, Ikea is making the store into a free hostel for those who want to stay overnight to complete their shopping.

I NEED to go to Oslo!


Jones:

I opened up a bottle of Jones rootbeer today. My fortune under the cap said, "You continue to be lucky in love." For that to be true, wouldn't I have to START being lucky in love?
