oh, no one told me about her.

A few months ago Meg Hunt was talking on her twitter about her new Masquepen, which put iwhich put in my head to try it. I saw the brand she mentioned in the shop but decided to pass at the time because it was like $20 I didn't have at the time. This week I found these little bottles at Curry's for like $3, they're pretty much just little squeeze bottles with what looks like the tip from a mechanical pencil shoved unceremoniously on the top. It's great! There's three in a package, I've got one with white ink and one with masking fluid.

I'm hanging out at home today playing with actual paint. Feels so nice, I feel like I've been staring at a computer screen for weeks: when not programming websites I'm watching the Wire. My eyes are sore. Even typing up this entry is hurting me.

And I realize I never showed off my finished books here! Here they are, all four of them:

They are all gone now! (Save one of each for my "records".) I went around and handed them out to people at TCAF. I even sold a few! Funds that immediately went back into comics. I am not sure if having something to give to people made me more nervous or less nervous. I was definitely a spaz for the first half of Saturday. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. I like seeing my work in print so much more than on the internet.

And: I just discovered that the Zombies are a band, that they made some songs I was already familiar with and loved and every once in a while would go "Oh my goodness I do like this song!", and that they have a bunch of OTHER songs I DIDN'T know but now I like.
