I was dragged to the Toronto COMICON convention on Sunday, if you haven’t caught on yet (keyword: dragged) I wasn’t looking forward to it, it was one of the reasons why I’m the best girlfriend in the world. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy reading graphic novels (and this expands further than just Archie comics) but I’m not one to hunt and search and dig for one. I’d prefer to have someone else do the dirty work for me and just hand the book over to me when they’re done with it.
Turns out, the convention wasn’t too bad. I didn’t see too many folks dressed up as their favourite characters and I ended up buying something! Too bad it wasn’t a graphic novel though. I came across a booth for artist Willow Dawson and fell in love. She paints adorable images on cardboard with acryllic paint. I’d been hunting for something to put on my living room wall and I’ve finally found something – it only took 8 months. So, I picked up a series that I’ve called “bird on branch” and am in the process of framing them. Art on the walls is one step closer to adulthood.
My personal favourite isn’t even one that I picked up, I love the Robot with Tree image. I may have to track her down and buy that one, too.
Photo is courtesy of me, one of the prints I picked up this weekend. It’s from my crappy camera phone, since my camera battery is still missing.
I would have LOVED to go to the Comicon cause I’m that nerd.
I like erotic art [photography] on walls,esp.in blck and white.
