Work has been very thin for me as of late. Without things to do my mind rots so I've taken up some unpaid freelance work on the side. I don't know if the guy I'm doing it for would want me posting the work up on here but I've been doing lots of studies of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons for reference, since I'm using that sort of style (justifiably! I don't want people thinking I'm a rip-off merchant), so those'll go up on the Studies Blog in due time. Actually I'm well overdue to post up the Preston Blair studies I did while I had no scanner, aren't I? Those'll be included too.
My new computer's hard-drive died after just under a month of use (thanks, Samsung). It took me over a week and-a-half to get a replacement (which I ordered for next day delivery...actually I technically still haven't got it, as I just ended up ordering it from somewhere else and getting it next day). I spent most of that time climbing the walls and chewing my toes. At least I think I did, my memory of that time is rather hazy.
I'm going to the Kingston University animation/illustration degree show in Shoreditch in a minute. Hopefully some of my friends will actually be there, as I've been a bit of a recluse lately.
The desktop background slideshow feature of Windows 7 is the shit.
Might do a movie review on here tomorrow as I recently watched Makoto Shinkai's 2007 film 5 Centimetres Per Second. Then again it wasn't actually as interesting as I expected so maybe I won't. I did rewatch My Neighbours the Yamadas, though, and I like that alot more so maybe I'll talk about that instead.
Since I hate to make a post without any pretty pictures, here's a postcard my friend Yoshimi sent us from the Rumiko Takahashi exhibition in Japan.
I love the colours in this. Also Urusei Yatsura is awesome. So is Ranma 1/2. I ought to pick them up again (when I have money), it's been years since I read either of them properly.
