Art wise, i've discovered two things yesterday that can only be described by *OMG OMG OMG*
First - Masking Fluid. I finally got off my ass and did some research in the watercolor department. I learned there existed a thing called Masking Fluid that you can use to cover a section you colored previously or to cover a spot you wish to keep white. You just put it on and it makes a rubbery film you remove as soon as you are done. It's that easy. WOW.
I spend 2 years painting small watercolor things as complicated as this one:

Using nothing but kleenexes, wet brushes and dumb luck to prevent my colors from mixing and my white areas white. Now I just learned a magic product actually painlessly does that for me. I feel kinda dumb I guess, but then I tried the Masking Fluid and lemme tell you, it's AMAZING. It's going to give me a whole new boost in the department of what I can do with watercolors. This is going to rock.
The second thing I discovered was XKCD - a really funny webcomic. that is insanly smart.
This Lj is turning into a review board! Must post more comics --_--
I didn't draw much, most of my time is spend drawing comic pages for ROSE. But I can give you guys a preview if you want!
Oh, one final note - Link now has a niece. His older brother, Nikolas (he has 3 brothers and a sister) and Niko's wife Maria just had a baby girl. Considering her mom is from Finland, i'm betting... Blond baby.

I heard about masking fluid back in high school, but I have to admit I barely use it. I really should try playing around with water colours more.
