There was a SALE on at Orbital Today, so my brother sent me to buy him something, because a) he really doesn't like the London Underground system & b) he's exceptionally lazy. I didn't leave till quite late in the afternoon, so I got there at around, but there was still time to kill, so I walked around for a bit until I ran into somebody I recognised, they were speaking on a mobile phone; before they ran off. So I made my way to Orbital Manga to purchase the item my brother had earnestly requested, Encore Sky Lynx...


I paid £40 for it, originally it was £80, so that's a 50% price cut! While I was there, I made some enquiries about a comic about an Anthropomorphic Reindeer Girl in a Bikini, but they didn't have any in, but as I'm thinking of going back at some point in mid-June, this isn't really a problem!

I've also started reading Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, which I bought from Amazon for £3.99. Having finished After Dark, a novela that has three narratives running concurrently yet tentatively linked together, which got me to think about producing a long form graphic novel in such a style, with each chapter ebing just as long as it needs to be, whether it's three pages or thirty. I also looked briefly at Gary Spencer Millidge's Comic Book Design, finding myself drawn to the sections that concentrates on cover design. I have mentioned in the past that I feel that cover design is important & that the tile & logo should be considered as an integral part of the overall design rather than slapped onto the cover when the illustration is completed.
