2014 Book #34: The Cleanest Race - and a couple additions to the Fail Pile
2014 Book #34: The Cleanest Race – and a couple additions to the Fail Pile
North Korea fascinates me. The culture is so vastly different than my own, and it’s so secretive, that I’m intrigued. I saw The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters on Oyster, and it sounded really interesting. I’d just finished Butcher’s Crossing and had no idea where to go next, so I thought a little nonfiction might be in order.
The Cleanest Raceis a succinct look…

I knew what I was getting into when I finally picked up The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, but Goodreads had it lingering on my recommendations page, and I was seeing it everywhere. Tumblr, mostly, which is usually bad news because quotes usually come from books I abhor like The Unbearable Lightness of Being or The Book Thief – you know, sappy and infinitely quotable. Meh.

2014 Fail Pile #2: The People in the Trees
Remember how, after I read The Magus, I noted that, while I don’t mind challenging books, I don’t like books that are entirely, unequivocally, effed up? Yeah, well, note that I at least finished The Magus. I’m not finishing Hanya Yanagihara’s The People in the Trees.

"Why does it always have to be...?"
I titled the file that because, WHY does it always have to be Beth/LP schmoop to get me out a drawing funk? Why can't I draw massively popular stuff instead of this? :P
Also this is all based on what took up my time yesterday. (Except for the blue pic, that was just doodling smooches on a post-it note, because I constantly try to practice getting bill-shaped kisses to look decent.) But, the larger pic is cuddling inside a sleeping bag. The smaller pic on the far right is a moment or two later; she can't resist hugging him, even though it makes both of them feel a little awkward, because they're still "just friends" but - they're hugging each other in a damn sleeping bag.
I couldn't draw LP today to save my gadamned LIFE. :P Beth looks all cute and he looks like something I'd have drawn a year ago. WHUT.
Oooh babeh.
Sketch I did back in September(ish? maybe late August) in an effort to do a "sexay" Negaduck. It... eh... I... A for concept, D for execution.
Anyway I decided rather than try to salvage it in inking, I'm going to redo it so here it is on the fail pile :)
