The first two were fantastic. 3 sucked. Resurrection was entertaining, but didn't need to be made. It's funny how it was directed by the same guy that did "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain."

What's funnier is the head writer for Resurrection was none other than...

Joss Whedon!

Now... take that, and watch the movie with a checklist of the Buffy-verse.

Strong woman using dark powers to fight evil.

Can 'sense' the enemy's presence.

Wacky sidekicks who are cooler than the heroine (sorry Weaver)

Psuedo homoerotic relationship between the heroine and creepy loner chick.

I can probably think of others later.

Ha! That's awesome.

Oh yeah, the original topic. I finished the page, but I biffed the hatching on the wall. The lines are too far apart so it's not dark enough. DAMN!

That's because... ummm. Yeah, Maynard left on a nightlight so when Ryan and Evan come back they don't have to stumble in the dark or turn on all the lights to get to bed.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Alien 3 was really good

Well, the page does show one thing.

May's pubic hair doesn't reach as high up as Evan's.

I'm sure this is really important.

Obviously he's a man who goes with the smooth downstairs look

There was an upload error, so the page is up now.

Cripes alive mate, that's hard core.

Heh, yeah. The painting looks bettter in person. I shoulda made the splashes red.

Aye, in a strip where even the site itself is black and white, the colour would have been shocking and really cool. Ah well, save that trick for another time

Seems I biffed. Oh well, I can whip that out again at some point like you say. I have a pretty good idea.

That twisted fuck.

Looks great. I do think you could've put in the greyscale version in there without realy being "cheating," and it might've made it stand out as a drawing a little more. But yeah, you're a purist.

Did anyone else notice the drawing of the flaming house?

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 11:02 pm

Yeah, figured I ask in person. But since you brought it up, does that drawing involve a margarita and a missile by any chance?

I noticed it - it was there a few pages back, too - but didn't really think about it. Did I miss some symbolic significance?

Speaking of significance, I don't know what reaction you intended to get (if any), but upon seing Ryan's painting of him strangling Evan... I laughed. Does that make me a bad person?

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 8:01 am

I wanted to show that he's rather unhappy with Evan right now. I laughed too when I drew it if that means anything. But it is kind of sick to paint a picture of yourself strangling one of your friends, so I guess it's an awkward scene. We called those "therapy drawings" back in school.

yeahduff wrote:Yeah, figured I ask in person. But since you brought it up, does that drawing involve a margarita and a missile by any chance?

Kinda. It was blend of that legendary therapy drawing I made for the senior show (oddly enough, it is titled "Severed Ties") and that weird picture you drew of your old house with the airplane flying into "perilous skies." Though I guess my drawing wasn't as legendary as my potato chip installation.

I guess the only real siginificance of the flaming house is that Ryan seems unhappy. But it was mostly there because I thought it was funny.

It's only going to be awkward if Evan sees the painting.

Pics, please!

I once made an installation out of pill jars with distressed-looking faces painted on them. I was young and foolish.

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 9:31 am

It sounds fun though.

I'll try to find pics of the chips. One of the younger art majors procalimed it the "greatest piece of art in the gallery" and other said it wasn't art.

I really liked the piece "severed ties" because it made me laugh like hell. There used to be a pic of it on teh web, but it's gone. I have to figure out how to take a digital photo of it and make it not suck.
