comic sets 3

July 14, 2011

this is the last of the apartment comic sets, based on apartments in San Francisco and New York. Next week I’ll post some city sketches and then a long, exciting post about various tools of the trade! it’ll include helpful tips on paper and pens and revelations about posture and back exercises and everything else I learned from Miss. Manners and Mr. Rogers.

What a girly bathroom. 2 tables full of salves, creams, powders, and sticks? Must be nice. ;)

yeah, I know, I love my bathroom! it even has a cute vanity table that I got for free. I have so many lotions and potions and creams and what not but I don’t use 90% of them. I accumulate them over the years and stick to the few staples that I have come to like over a period of trial and error. I never throw anything away even if I’ll never use it. It’s just a thing girls do and it drives boys nuts. Luckily I live alone so I can have all the useless crap I want laying about the bathroom

I am strangely reminded of Colorforms’ with these drawings. I’m old so remember them clearly, but they were like paper doll cutouts but made from cling plastic that you’d position over background sets, kinda like these drawings. Yeah, we need to create a set of Wertz-themed Colorforms.

Ha! I do the same, keeping all the lotions and junk from forever ago. Sometimes I go through and look for the ones that expired and finally toss them. I think I finally had to throw away some I got in high school. I have to share my bathroom with my boyfriend, but he gets a half a shelf, the shared junk gets a half a shelf and I get the other three shelves or so. :) I even found a unicorn hair clip from grade school and wore it to work the other day.

Is that a ‘Hedwig and the angry inch poster’? Nice. Beautiful drawings.

yup, another admitted bathroom product hoarder. in fact, i recently gave up my apartment and moved all my shit into my parents house for storage. they had to repack some of it and my dad was all “yeah, i’m sure there’s some stuff we can just throw out right, like all these beauty products?” NO! i shrieked, obviously.

seriously though, that’s a crazy great/fortunate bathroom for postage stamp apartments, lucky!

Those are nice. I love the perspective from a viewpoint that in real life isn’t actually possible because it would require the viewer to be somewhere above the ceiling!

Is that a T Rex Electric Warrior poster I spot in 2nd pic from the bottom?
