The Browncoat Scrapbook (this is, indeed, a thread for *pictures*) by PhoenixRose

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

O.O !!!!
Oh Kitten, that's so... so... So sucky!
I'd offer you a place to crash, but I know I'm a bit too far away to be much use

Let me know if I can help, okay?

I'm not even local enough to offer a place to crash. Damn. If there's anything you need. Anything at all. You know, from this side of the Altantic. Or anything. Just give me a shout, okay?

Just as well all those pics of yours are stored safely in digital forms HK, would have been a real shame for them to go. Though I suspect you'll probably be more worried about stuff that well costs more money. And where you'll be sleeping. Good to know you ain't hurt though.

Looks like its been a bad week for the fff picture posters. I've been sick with...with something. Beats me what, but I've hardly slept in the last few nights. I didn't even know there was a whole conversation going on about me! Thanks for the certificate, PR! I approve of your picture choice.

Hell's Kitten!!! Oh my darling, wonderful friend - I am so very glad you weren't in there at the time - if you want to know what that's like read Whimsy's blog - I would rather you had a really bad year than the one she had when her appartment was set on fire by a couple of murdering morons!!!

You simply have to come to D*C now - so I can give you huge hugs-

Oh No!!

Is Jayne's T-shirt OK... and Kaylee's overalls... and My... er I mean Nandi's dress???

Oh - and Roxy - I have your pic - and whomsoever else wants to see how crazy I have become!! Here is Magda - the rock star!!

And a few more for the companion comaprisson - I was pampered and treated like a princess today - I taped an episode of a Quiz show called Temptation here in Melbourne - and I won some shiny booty! (Not much money though...) and I loved every minute of it and came home and made pretty Kaylee-esque pictres of myself!!

Well, there are perks when you work for an electronics store. One it which is knowing what specials are on before anyone else. A good thing, no?

Thus, I have my new camera. And as such, I'm gonna keep my promise.

In keeping with the whole Rock Star thing goin' on....

And the story ye shall receive PR.

Last was my final year of High School. And, being an Art student, I like all my classmates, was required to complete a Body of Work.

Some did painting, some did phtotgraphy, some drawing...

I did a 32 page comic book. All profesional like.

Now I'm not much of a drawer, but I can draw pretty damn good if you give me enough time.
Unfortunately, I would find that I take too damn long...

So all year, I write, rewrite, re-rewrite and then tweak my story so as much of it can be told through just imagery alone as possible. I did this whole process way too much.

I told you I took too long to draw. I was halfway done drawing the whole thing (no colour needed in this baby) with 8 days to go.
This, as you can imagine, was not at all a good thing.

I threw the whole thing in the bin on Friday night. Wake up at 11am Saturday morning and got to work. The plan? Re-do the whole thing with photographs instead of drawings. Still black and white (thanks to the wonders of Photoshop CS2).

I fell asleep 2am Friday morning. That's like 135 hours or something without a wink of sleep.

I got the final copy of the comic out of the printers half an hour before they closed for the weekend, and the work was due 9am Monday morning. Thank God my car didn't break down on the way there.

So 232 photographs, too many cups of coffee, 4 trips to the printing place, $520, 135 hours and 5 five and a half kilograms (a tad over 12 pounds for you Imperialists) later and I have a finished comic book in my hands.

My teacher hated it. Too bad for her she doesn't get to mark it. It gets shipped to the city where a panel of judges view every single body of work in the state.
The judges loved it. I got into ArtExpress (Selected artists have their work shown in the Art Gallery of New South Wales) and got offered a scholarship into a graphic design school, which I promptly turned down.

Last February, I threw the comic into a bonfire. There's only one copy left, and it sits on a friends bookshelf.

Thus, the story of the 'Art Attack' (geddit? Art Attack, heart attack? hehe!) is complete. And I siad it wouldn't be long....
