Glass Flowers for the Dead

It's December 16, 2012.  This was the week of the Clackamas Town Center Mall shooting and the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy.  This weekend the Hobbit premiered in theaters.

I started the week off hearing about Stuart Immonen's work on The All New X-Men, and by the end of the week I was reading it.  I read Dustin Harbin's Boxes and pondered a little about the months I frequented his journal comic.   I finished my Char Aznable drawing and learned from Brittney Sabo about the Mysterious Universe podcast.  That Monday was the birthday of Ada Lovelace.

This week I did a lot of catching up with Adventure Time, Baman Piderman, and Spera.  In fact, just this Friday a new part of Glass Flowers came out drawn by my new art crush Rachel Morris!  I read 3 chapters of Attack on Titan, and 3 of the original Skullman, and later got about 2 chapters into the newer Skullman manga drawn by Ishimoto.  On Wednesday I finally started reading I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outerspace and I loved it!  I learned about Urasawa from Rachel.  The Pacific Rim trailer was released.

This week Lacey Green re-educated everybody about slut shaming.  I learned about The Three Old Gods, and I spent some time perusing  the Wikipedia 2013 Year in film.  I think I'm excited for Edgar Wright's new movie End of the World.

Save Me Now

You can probably guess I've been watching Portlandia. Carrie Brownstein is becoming my new dream girl. Is it any coincidence she and Kate Beaton share a resemblance?

Brandon Graham introduced me to the work and opinions of Celine Loup. Jordyn Bochon is back with a Finnegan Strappe mini.

Thumbtack Press kept me informed on the following artists

I became aware of The Firelight Isle by Paul Duffield of Freak Angels fame, because of some inquiries into the work of his partner Kate Brown.

Sadly this weekend Jazz legend Etta James passed away. The New York Giants won the NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers in overtime to advance to the Superbowl, and earlier in the week the vote on SOPA was delayed after a sudden increase in senate disapproval of the bill and a massive website black out.

I was working the early morning shift and feeling like a zombie. I think Portlandia was the highlight of my week. I also read a few chapters of Allstar Superman, which is great! I want to dip into Agents of Atlas pretty soon. Gene Hackman got hit by a truck while riding his bike, so I decided to get Unforgiven and The French Connection. One day I'll watch them along with the new Sherlock series. Guh, so many cool thing I wanna does!
