I much prefer this painting to the other cover actually... I did it before I wrote this story (heh!) and... actually it has a story behind it! I was feeling post-watchmen dystopian circa this december, and could best express it through acrylic paints for some reason. So I painted this, with newspaper clippings. And this thursday, I visited my sister Kathryn at Univ. of Hartford, and in her apartment I see my painting! I had given it to her, as she had complained about sparse walls. WELL! she didn't even put it up-- she had it hidden!! And I like this painting a lot. I would hang it up. *pout* she said it was too creepy. but I made itttt.

oh well! so I took it back, once again proving (time and time and time again) that I am indeed my biggest fan. What do I care? at least I have one huge slobbering fan: me.

And then I noticed that the girl looks like Jadwiga, and so now it's a potential cover!! :D:D:D
wellll~~ hope you like! new page coming sometime.. I've been working on my new story : ] and on reading kavalier & clay for the upcoming arrival of michael chabon! w0000t!!

ps: note the bottom corners: the rorschach symbol on one side, and my "signature" for that painting on the other-- the letter "K" for Kristen, in wax! I used one of those fancy letter-sealers. cooool yeahh

I love this cover. It is expressive and therefore it reminds me of expressionist works... I can see similarities to Egon Schiele in it, but i do love Schiele so much, so it may be that. Still, objectively, it is a great cover. Are you perchance influenced by expressionism/symbolism styles in painting?

The first thing I saw was "wishing you peace" and then I saw the card and my eyes wandered over to her eyes. Very atmospheric. Gonna have to five this...

'post-watchmen dystopian'? ?? lol its refreshing to know someone LIKES their own work, most people I know are way too self-loathing 0_0 I like the mixed media, the card is a nice touch. And I do find it creepy too, but the whole story has a creepy touch :S
I cant believe you're meeting this guy!! 0_0 Hes one of my favorite modern writers, you are way too lucky!!

wow, nice. That was rude of her! If you are the artist she is probably the non-artist of the family. Love the sigs and the inclusion of the newspaper work... you are an amazing artist my friend :D

thanks guys. lol @ jonko. but I don't think I'm gonna separate this into chapters... it's just a one-shot sort of comic.
UsedBooks: yeah, you might notice the ironic contrast between the title and the story elsewhere... hehe.
thanks for les comments... perchance I'll do another page today.

Yeah, I don't think I'd put it up in my bedroom, it's very creepy (but then again it's a good thing because it means you painted a really powerful picture). It is really cool looking though, maybe it could be the cover for chapter 2?

Oh my. This is a much darker cover. The first one is sort of whimsical and upbeat, but this one contains such a lovely contrast between the imagery and the title. (Just look at that dismal expression! "Optimist?" Lol)
