Shoot they got me right on the nose this episode broke me
I worked hard to cross 6 books off of my 36 book long summer reading list. Yesterday I went to a thrift store and bought another 6 books. The breaking of my curse inevitably leads to its recreation.
Anyway! Does anyone want some pride flag art? Looking for prompts of any kind.
ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 6: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
What I wouldn’t give to know what Mr. Huxley was thinking when he wrote this. The book made me pretty uncomfortable (as it’s meant to, I suppose) but I LOVED this scene so I divorced it from the context a little for this comic. Words all come from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
I’m a contestant in the first ever season of “College Cooking,” a culinary show in which university students battle it out in front of top chefs using only the combined ingredients and materials found in their kitchens. I approach the judges with my first dish— the prompt was simple. An easy, nutritious dinner that can be packaged and brought to school for lunch the next day.
I am too old for pity. There will be no mercy tonight.
“As you can see,” I say, presenting a pot fresh off the stove, “I’ve made a basic chicken soup. Because I haven’t been taking my iron pills, I’ve included as many vegetables as I could get my hands on.” I set the pot down on the table and hand out spoons.
“It’s essentially your typical chicken noodle soup, but I’ve added my own personal twist.” All the judges look up to meet my eyes and it takes a moment for me to realize that they’re waiting for me to explain. “Well, you see, it’s a fun little soup tradition I have, where I don’t actually know how much broth to add. If you turn your attention to the dish, you’ll see that it’s not really SOUP soup as much as it’s soggy soup ingredients. I think it adds a novel element. I hope you enjoy.”
Then I turn around and walk straight off the set.
For the sake of my mental and physical health, I may have to stop watching 9-1-1
(Little explanation)
This is a fairly liberal interpretation of the word ‘fanart’ but it is art inspired by the book I read, which is what I’m going for. The main take away from this book for me was that Ancient Greek philosophers and those three side characters in Dazed and Confused have something in common, and that is that they both represent the way me and my friends get together and have deeply existential conversations for the fun of it. Philosophy hasn’t changed, just the way the philosophers dress.
Colors. My greatest enemy.
(It looked fine and then I tried to add lighting and now the skin colors aren’t skin coloring)
For the character portraits series (which I absolutely adore btw) maybe BJ? I’d have to think of some other iconic BJ moments but the “whatever you want” line about his name is a potential one that comes to mind.
Thank you!!! I’ve been really enjoying making these. BJ’s apathy towards his name is so funny any definitely on my list for him is “what say you, ferret face”
I think that settles it. BJ next
A little drawing I did after watching Dead Boy Detectives for the first time!!! Great show absolutely loved it!!!!!!!
