Rough Justice.

the weekend's going pretty good. it was tgif, payday week, I was satisfied with my portfolio score, so that's that. the next step now is to do the osap thing, sign up for goodlife and save up for my imac or macbook pro (still on the fence on that)

went to chapters yesterday and went on a reading binge. this is usually what my saturday night consist of, shopping for new reads and enjoying the nice weather, but I decided to check out some new additions to the graphic novels section. Little did I know, I would find nothing short of awesome:



that's Alex Ross' new sketchbook release this year. Little under 300 pages, it shows a lot of his process work, inkings and finals done in colour. Needless to say, it rekindled my interest again in comic book art! I love that it's almost technical because you DO need to know a lot about anatomy and composition. I wish I had gotten it, but I thought it would be like 40-50. it's 24.95 CDN online!

Instead, I picked up a watercolour tutorial book and leafing over Fables novels (with delicious cover art done by James Jean) I can't wait to get started and get some full work done!
