American Splendor
Sep. 1st, 2003 12:38 amThis movie was awsome. Went and saw it after a 30hr weekend of work (with more work tomorrow) So much for my 3-day weekend. ... I can SO empathize with Harvey Pekar. The movie itself was very cool slipping in and out of different modes and styles much like the comic itself seems to. Worth tha box office price. I'm off to do art now though.
On a quasi-related note, A couple weeks ago I finally got around to sending in that 4 pager artwork I made for Genus a year or so ago.URL here if you really wanna see bad furry pr0n So... A couple days ago I got my first rejection letter! W00T! It was even annotated that the story was great but the artwork sucked green monkey dicks.
Okay... I'm the first to agree with that, even 'n' no biggie but... Um... Wow. Compared to some of the stuff I've seen run in Genus? I feel dissed. :) Heehee. Well. Guess I'll just haveta work harder in the future. :) the hand-written critique in addition to the check-boxed form letter was nice. Businessy-wise, what's the proper protocol here? Send back some sort of 'thank you for the honest criticism, it gives me goals and a direction to work in' type letter? I haven't really got any aspirations to send them anything else, but as a wise man once said, "Be careful of the toes you step on today for they could be attached to the ass you might have to kiss tomorrow."
Anyhow. Off to study and make more crappy art.
