Jump magic jump!

3 new additions to my 'art from others' Flickr set from Nico and Emi!!! Wowzers!

Today is homework day. :-/

Very thin ice, very thin ice

I've received some AMAZING art gifts this year, and just want to take a second to pimp them! (There will be more once I can get the physical art I've received scanned and uploaded)

First up, here's a birthday present Nico sent me on Tuesday!! ADORABLE. I smell a new profile picture~~ :)


Next, not actually for me, but for Emi. This one is by Ron Chan for Emi's comic Emitown! DAH. How sick is this??! LOVE IT. (I'm second from the right, with the gun!! GUN!!)

My intentions are good and earnest and true, but under my hood is internal combustion power

Happy second birthday, Nico's blog! xD

Over a dozen artists contributed celebration pieces. Here's mine:


I drove to Eugene and back today to visit my roommate Niha and do some moving in. It was a lot of driving for one day, but nice to see my friend >3<

Anoko to haneru to kokoro mo odoruyo paku-paku chu-gyu

Ponyo came out yesterday, but guess who saw it on Monday? xD There are perks to being friends with this guy. As everyone's saying, it's not my favorite Miyazaki movie, but it is right up there with Studio Ghibli's others in quality and enjoyment. I love love LOVE the two main characters, Sosuke and Ponyo, and all of their interactions, but the rest of the movie was just (well-drawn) fluff for me.
Oh. And when you hear the first bars of the credit rock song, GET OUT OF THERE.

On the Miyazaki thread, take a look at these two gorgeous pieces Terry Blas gave me last week! I was in shock then, and I'm still reeling a bit now. :) Terry is a watercolor and character design master. He did the painting of Sophie a while ago, but he did the painting of Haku in an afternoon!!! MAN. I am still searching for proof that he's not an artbot from the future. Wait...Robopocalypse...yes, it all makes sense...


Also, I'm over on Nico's blog again. (A girl could get used to this! :P) Written by Jamie, illustrated by Nico:

When I saw you on TV, you were wearing a piece of me

Nico sent me fanart this week! I love his interpretation of Delilah!!!



THANK YOU, NICO~!!! XD
