Ben’s friend Manny came by to discuss the possibility of making a graphic novel with me. He is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met so far, I learned a lot from him and I have a much better idea of what I need to do writing wise in order for him to translate it properly. 

However, I did not fully realize who this person was. I just knew he was a friend of Ben’s who he met when he was working as an animator. He works for Marvel. He was the guy that came up with the Blue Ear. Remember a while back when Marvel was all over the news for creating a deaf superhero for deaf child who needed some inspiration? Manny did that. It may not seem like a big deal to some of you, and maybe it’s just the nerdy comic book girl that I am, but I suddenly felt like such a noob. 

And he’s working on a project with me.

Sometimes life gets a little more awesome. 

A while back I was at a craft fair and one of the vendors liked my owl tattoo so much, she asked to take a picture of it. This is what she turned it into. :)

I write a lot. I have notebooks filled with stories and ideas, all of which I insist are incredibly stupid and will only be viewed by Ben after he pries them away from me to spare them from being thrown into the garbage. 

A while ago he was reading something I had done and he suggested that it would make a good graphic novel. I agreed with him but didn’t really know anyone who would be willing to do a collaborative project with me. Actually that’s not totally true, I didn’t know anyone whose artistic style would blend well with what I’ve done. So I kinda didn’t give the whole comic thing anymore thought and I just kept writing unfinished work. 

Recently Ben got in touch with a friend of his that he used to work with when he was at Next New, they got to talking and he mentioned my stories to him. We chatted a bit via e-mail and he liked what I’ve sent him. I suppose a collaboration has officially begun. I’m pretty excited bout it. I’m looking forward to seeing how he interprets what I’ve written and I’m hoping this will be the extra motivation I need to finally finish something. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere, I’d like to be able to have something tangible that I’ve created instead of just dreamed up and did nothing with. We’ll see how it goes :)

you should :)

I haven’t played 3 yet, but it seems the majority of people who have, are EXTREMELY unhappy with it’s ending. I’m glad to hear that they aren’t changing it. I think if they did it would only back the argument that video games aren’t real art. This was Bioware’s vision, they didn’t promise you would like it, but I think it’s great that a game could evoke that type of response out of people.

Probably the only acceptance speech that will mean anything tonight

He did a Q&A that I caught last night on TV, he had some mazing things to say about art and life in general, I was trying to find a video clip of it but couldn’t, there’s an article here.

Sometimes the kids in my class like it when I paint with them, today Alice and I painted ballerinas. Alice watched what I did and tried to copy, clearly she is the superior artist :)
