Now entering year 6...

This Lj was created 5 years ago today (yeah, I created it on Halloween on purpose). That's 5 years of almost daily drawing posts. I,m really glad I have this. It's a great drawing motivator, gave the courage to start Namesake, and allowed me to meet amazing people whom I adore. GIVE ALL OF YOURSELVES BIG HUGS! I know i'm going to keep posting here for another long while. 

In other news, i'm not doing anything for Halloween, aside from watching spooky and pretty movies. It's a bit sad, considering how much I adore Halloween and look forward to it every year. But such is life.

If I could have a pet crow, I would call it "Phylactery". Because it's an object used by a lich to contain its soul, but also because in French, this word is used to designate a talkbubble.

Happy birthday yamiloo ! Have some Nightingale sketches! I'm really looking forward to seeing this hero in action. remind me to make you a nice drawing when it's launched!



brendala , have you seen today's google banner? It features the Scoobies! I saved it here for you :











Finally, my good buddy Von (the male half of vonandmoggy ), has a new book out. You can read about said book and about ordering it here. I haven't read this one, but I've read his first book, "The road to god knows where" and found it very poignant. I have high hopes for the second. So help a comic artist out if you feel generous and want to read a great story!

So, a toast full of chocolate and good cheer to all my artsy, dedicated, and fun friends. Happy Halloween, thanks for reading, and stick around!

It only gets better from here.

Congrats on five years of LJ drawings! ^__^ Maybe in another five years, you'll have legion of crows~

Wow, five years already! Happy anniversary! ^_-

Silly question, but how do you say/pronounce Phylactery in French? (You want to be a lich. Admit it! Admit it!!) I always thought the word sounded weird, but I'll spare you why so that you can save it for a future name. :D

Oh wow I didn't know that phylactery had a French meaning as well, that's pretty cool! And thank you for keeping with your art, it's an example to us all.

Exemplary! :D

Awwww, I'm flattered that you used space in your LJ-Birthday post to share those Scooby banners with me. Thank you for indulging my current geeky obsession! **hugs**

Happy LJ-Birthday, Isa! Here's to many more years of awesome artwork and musings!
*raises glass*


P.S. Just curious, do Canadian kids Trick-or-Treat? Or is that just an American thing?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Canadians do trick-or-treat, though it's been declining in popularity due to :

-Snow on Halloween (It was really cold yesterday!)
-The large majority of kids getting older in a specific part of the suburb, killing the tricking and treating for that part of the suburb and moving it to another part of it.
-Security locks on most apartment buildings.

I remember trick or treating and decorations being pretty epic when I was a kid, but nowadays, the place where my parents live is dead on Halloween (no pun intended). One of my friends lives in a newer suburb and she says it's pretty booming though. I guess the festivities just move where the youth is. Though, Halloween in the big city seems pretty boring! No big spooky parties or anything.

I do think halloween may be a more American thing, but it exists here. And I still love it. Might be more kid-oriented. As a child I always wondered where those big halloween parties on Buffy or Hocus Pocus were hosted around here.

I meant to swing by yesterday but it wound up being a busy day! Sorry!

Thanks very much for the shout out about "Stargazer" - much, much appreciated. It's neat and very scary to have it out there and we'll see how the orders go. I'm not expecting it to sell like crazy, but I've got my fingers crossed that it'll do ok. Here's hoping!

Happy (belated) 5th anniversary, you!

Von
