Sorry this took so long– the original drawing got ruined so I had to re-draw it (what a drag…) and so I took a while. But it's HERE!! new page coming soon.
SO I MET MICHAEL CHABON!!! It was so much fun. I shook his hand like 5 times! We went out to dinner, had Indian food with a few other students and some professors. I gave him a fan-comic… and he lol'd at it! ;) and then after his talk I went up to him again (all creepy-like) and shook his hand again and said, “It was such a pleasure meeting you,” and he said, “you too, Kristen!” HE REMEMBERED MY NAMEEEEEEEE!!!
and I sat diagonal from him at dinner, and chatted-his-ear-off!!~! win! it was one of those life-moments. I need to become a famous writer so that people can get all swoony-fan on me…
: )
and this week I finished my second short story for creative writing. I tried to be funny ; ) if anyone wants to read it, I'll send it to you! (I'd like to hear opinions, if you're interested.)
Anyway, page 8~!!! yayy

That's great that you had a fun time meeting someone you admired. I would freeze up and get all stiff. XD I can never think of anything clever to say to people. Ugh, I hate it when I mess up on pages. D: But the end result of this was fantastic. You're doing a really great job. :3

Cuarto panel: Pero venÃa a mi memoria entonces el Santo Kazimieras, quien vivió sin lujos, siendo él un prÃncipe. Pero privarse uno mismo a ciertos placeres es mejor que ser privado a la fuerza por los rusos

Niebla tan espesa que se formaba por el humo parecÃa una sucia sabana en el aire, sin embargo la casa era acogedora al pensar en donde dormirÃa si no tubiera una

Segundo Panel: Pápa y Jadwiga tenÃan una fuerte discución, pero eso ya es tan común para mà que no molesta mis sueños El suelo estaba helado y lleno de ceniza causada por nuestra vieja y desgastada estufa

primer panel: Desperté a la mañana siguiente sintiendome débil y mareado Pápa! solo cómelo y deja de quejarte!! Este es el cuarto dia de mi abstinencia a comer Parece que mi estómago se a dado por vencido al no volver a escuchar sus gruñidos de hambre Siento el cansancio hasta los huesos

Amazing page! I am impressed at your paintings for this story :3.

I really like the mood here; it has a nice opressive feel to it. I still can't believe you do this with paint @_@.

Thanks for the comments, guys! :) Aghammer, thank you for inflating my already almost-bursting ego... lol. Yeah, meeting Michael Chabon was really special. When I'm a famous writer, I'll probably run into him sometime and HE'LL be like, "OMG you're so cool gimme ur autografz". The English Dept. chair asked how MC did, what with all the autographing, and he said, "I got a bionic hand." lol! Thanks Hyena H! I'm glad you like his "mystic aspirations" because, well, you're gonna be getting a lot of 'em as this story progresses. ; ) hi max ;3 OMG I made brownies last night as a happy-birthday thing for my friend Crystal, and now they're rock-hard (like my abs! not really.) but I'm still eating what's left.. I actually cut my knuckle on one just now?? weiird. lol.

I love the mystic aspirations of Kazimieras! This is seriously a wonderful little comic you have- I can't even tell you how much I enjoy it. :D Now I sound like a weirdo stalker. Psht. ;)

Kristen, another beautiful page. I am seriously worried for him! Michael Chabon, cool. I have to admit I haven't read any of his books.. bad me, that is one of the neatest stories ever.. I've met a lot of writers I enjoy but never got to eat with them... wowser :D Oh, and if I met you in person I think I'd be a little swooney.. does that help :D Anyhoo... great page as always. Maybe I'll get my watercolors out again and give them a shot.

A lot of atmosphere on this page. I love the textures and effects of the paints.
