Seconding V for Vendetta if you're a fan of Watchmen. Most of my recommendations are already listed, but also seconding Arkham Asylum, Sandman, The Long Halloween. I also really like the Blacksad series, I feel the usage of animal heads really allows for some great expressions and it covers some pretty grim stories. I've also been reading IDW's MTMTE and RID Transformers series' but that's really only if you're into space adventure robot gore.

Other stuff including graphic novels:
Hellboy and BPRD
Maus
Thor: Blood Brothers

Maybe...

Here's four songs from my chill playlist:

Really chill guy, he's funny, he's smart, and always willing to teach and learn from others. Can explain and analyze stuff at the moment's notice. Is nice to talk to outside of the game as well and is also handsome.

I don't personally have any experience with a volunteering group/club, but my brother did in high school and most of the activities involved cleanup or working at the food bank.

If you can, try to look for volunteer work in places like the library or a nearby school. I was a teaching assistant at a summer art camp when I was in high school, and my family sometimes volunteers at Second Harvest food bank sorting groceries. Some friends volunteered at nature camps which was kind of cool. There's lots of opportunities out there!

More sketchbook fun, more gouache and pen and some instagram and acrylic. I also finally set up my art tumblr: http://jasbutts.tumblr.com/

It's not a genre I listen to or know much about, so this was a nice sample. I particularly liked the buildup in the middle of the song when it hits 3:11. Not sure if it's enough to draw me into this type of music but it was a nice listen.

Could be better.

Went to my appointment to see a doctor after admitting I've been thinking of killing myself. [Don't worry, I'm much too afraid of pain to do so.] Went to check out the counseling offices, they closed 30 minutes ago.

Sat at the coffee shop and drew a sketch I actually liked while I was sitting there.

Sat through a three hour slideshow of my illustration professor's career during class and it was the most honest presentation I have listened to.

Kuni, if you like cream-based sauces, there's a sauce made with pureed cauliflower and parmesan that tastes similar to alfredo. You will need a food processor or blender but it yields a good texture as long as you cook the cauliflower long enough where it's soft. There's many versions online if you google 'cauliflower alfredo sauce'.

Carbonara sauce is another tasty option but I find it's easy to screw up and make scrambled egg sauce. :(

Realized most of the stuff I've posted is digital, so here's some sketchbook things. Got inspired by my professor Barron Storey's sketchbook, and I kind of went on a inking spree during his class this evening. Sorry for the big images. All done in gouache, pentel pocket brush, and fountain pen.

Pub or surf just to warm up my fingers, then scrim/map reviews/demo reviews/mixes. Though I haven't pubbed or mixed in a long time.

Art dump, here we go! Got quite a few commissions done.

Just got back from classes, with a 3-9:30 schedule. It's nice leaving campus when there's no traffic.

Also came back to a brand new student union building which is pretty dope looking. It's like all metal and glass and new wood paneling. Plus they have Baja Blast on tap in their soda machine.

I'm 23 and still in school, all these Freshmen full of energy make me feel like an old lady. :(

Recently moved my old stock from my 20 gallon to a refurbished 30 gallon tank, complete with brand new plants and driftwood.

And here's my favorite little guy from that tank. If you ever have a chance to get a Yoyo Loach, do it. They are fun to watch and they sleep on their sides or on their backs.

I also downsized my room's tank to a 10 gallon and got this boy for it. Haven't seen roundtails in stores for awhile.
