SKETCHES and a BOOK REVIEW

Hello!

Apart from reworking the site, I´m currently trying to get a better hang of drawing in FLASH after having read this great Posts about it.

Its not really easy and I tend to screw up things after investing at least half an hour of drawing time.. but I´m curious to see if this could be good way to ink some comics.

ET PLUS:

I´ll  do more Album Covers, Posters, things to get more meat into my Portfolio. Environments are also still sadly very blatantly missing from that part of the website. And I´ll try to draw a picture for everything I review/talk about.  GO GO GO NEW BLOG!

I tend to read books from authors I “know” a lot more then experimenting with the unknown writer.

That’s why this is another post about work from David Foster Wallace (but it could also have been Haruki Murakami for that matter).

Reading his various essays is just pure entertainment without ever feeling ashamed or dumb. His topics have a huge range (from David Lynch to the life of a bottom Pro-Tennis player and to the heart of the book, his experience on a cruise ship). Its laugh out loud funny at times (please excuse that phrase, but I DID giggle a lot reading this during my daily commute) while always being smart and focused.

You always feel Wallace directly talking to you and you really tend to “get” his character as a human being through this texts.
