Secondlina's Panels

So, there's this strange graffiti posted around Montréal, that is basically Batman in a Tuxedo. (I didn't take this photo, I randomly found it off Google). I saw one quickly this morning as my bus rushed by it. It's pretty awesome. I wonder what it's suppose to represent, exactly? The Tuxedo Batman I saw was in a little place I love. There's this guy, close to the metro, that lives right next to a bridge. The sign over his large home says "metal worker" among other things. All the windows have intricate metal shapes and creatures in front of them. And there's this little vacant lot next to his home stuck between the bridge and the house where there's a ton of whimsical metal animal structures. I never actually got close (it's a little difficult to cross the street to visit it, which is why i'm guessing this parch of land was unused). It's like some kind of magical park the metal worker created for himself. I really love it.

And now his home is marked with the Tuxedo Batman. 

Oh, in another note, I was accepted for Expozine, a little author comic con in the end of November. I know. I know. I,m tired of cons. But Expozine is actually a great place for things like webcomics, just like TCAF. And a friend of mine, Fanie, will be going too. So I felt inclined to give it a try.

Yep.

And people wonder why easter and halloween are my favorite fake holidays. I can take in a lot of sugar. And I love it. really, it's a miracle I still have teeth. Oh Cadbury, you're magically delicious.



Work: In other news, work sucks this week. It's my week to do the events, so all my evenings are pretty much spent wearing a suit among various business people when I would rather be home in front of the tv or drawing. Or well, part of the job. If anything, this will allow me to accumulate "on the job" hours so that may take days off later.

Anime North: I discovered (and all you cats planning to go to anime north this year should check this too) that the long may break (aka Victoria day) is NOT on the same weekend as Anime North, as it usually is. I've asked my boss if I could take days off on that day and it's like pulling teeth! I get vacation days, so i'm allowed, but she doesn't want me to take them where I want to. Even though i'm asking a month in advance. This is the second time I propose to her a vacation date and she's not willing to let me take it, though she keeps asking me to give her a date so that she may incorporate it in the planning. My boss is weird.

Random: Aside from that, friends and myself are planning to go poke fun at Dragonball : the EPIC movie this friday, as it is the premiere. Prepare the LOL.

I caved and bought the first season of avatar: the last airbender. Oh, Nickelodeon, for 60$, I hope you do not deceive.

I,m also trying to draw batman villains right now. I love batman villains. He has the BEST villains. I'm trying to transform Bruce Timm's beloved designs (from the 90's Batman : the animated series) into The Dark Knight Versions of themselves. Okay, scarecrow and Joker and Two-face are done, but I really, really want to design Dark Knight Harley quinn and Poison Ivy. I'll let you guys see how this turns out.



Only reference picture of all the baddies I could find. And it's TINY!! I have larger references for their faces.
