Spoiled Goods

Did I mention how sad the new TMNT comic, now published by IDW, is in JUST the first set (Raphael)? No? Let me show you, then.

SPOILER IMAGES

Yeah. I had to put it down for a while. Interesting to see our boys that way, though. I want to draw them in 'modern' apparel.

Not quite dusty, yet

Went to the Barnes and Noble on US 1 highway today. The big two story one.

I know it's silly, but I find that it's kind of exciting...I rarely get to go to two-story book stores, so I get a little giddy.

Anyways, got a few things with some Christmas money...a new sketchbook (purely for illustrations and practice), 75% off Xmas and holiday cards for next year (I WILL BE PREPARED!), an issue of The Economist, and One Piece manga volume 1. I never did finish the manga or the anime - both of which were (and, I hear, ARE still) good. I want to take the time to enjoy it, again - fully, this time.

Of course, then my mom, being as awesome as she is, revealed a sneaky gift she bought for me while I was off searching for things:

Happy (belated) Birthday to me~!

Still, I'd like to head back and maybe get one of those wooden model figures...I need to practice drawing more realistic anatomy, again! In fact, I'm trying my hand at it, now...

That's really all there is to report, at the moment. I'm going to keep drawing, then hopefully head to bed BEFORE 6 AM. For once.

Good Year

Got these at the comic book store, Tate's

Yeah, it's going to be my 20th birthday, come Sunday. I can hardly believe it.

I have the best friends to ever walk the face of the Earth - and without it even being the actual DAY, this birthday is already the BEST:

The Dave - from Nacho/Rachel

TMNT are cool, bro - from - MasterFranny

 And, for fun, I drew some pictures for my friends, in Paintbrush...

So much fun in a such a short time.

If this is all of 2012, I'm really up for it!
