Linkblogging

lilrivkah's report from WizardWorld Chicago.


Overview of the upcoming Comiket 68, both from Animania.

For a while I've been reading the blog of an ambitious guy opening a comic store. As a lot of people do, I remain a bit skeptical that he'll be able to keep it going with his particular vision, but I certainly wish him success and hope he makes it - you can see his love for comics.

And another regular on my blogroll is the "Liberry" Guy, a librarian in the South chronicling the strange and amusing events and patrons who walk through the door of his library.

OMG!! Journalfen stole the LJ code! *headdesk*

Nyanko-chan does her own version of the cover for Bleach 17, in marker no less. (She does the comic Next Exit for Slave Labor Graphics, and has a story in Rising Stars of Manga 3.)

Hummingbirds!

Link via my grandfather: a website with photos of a hummingbird mother over a month or so as she hatches and raises two babies.

Used scanners?

Anyone know of good places to look for used equipment like scanners? Mine is slowly starting to die, and I'm starting to collect info on good scanners to ahve on hand when it finally kicks the bucket.

My ideal scanner and price would be the Epson Expression 836XL for under $450, although I expect that's a pipe dream (tesstrosa, that's what nyanko-chan scanned the marker picture in on). If I can't get that one, I'll probably end up spending $300 on a scanner, and if it's used I can get a bit more bang for my buck with that.

Gojyo inks

Dunno if I'll get to the coloring tonight, but here's the inks of the Gojyo pic.
