Well to be fair in my last post I did ask for MORE studios.
I even opened it up for others to just "describe" their studio, much less take pics. And hey, at least it's discussion (on a discussion board) - and as these things go, threads tend to wander after so many pages. _________________ Jimmie Robinson!

My studio is just one of those black memo pads and all of Bendis' script books. I would someday like to get a desk.  _________________ www.rickemerson.com

Quick Studio related question to writers.
Most that I know either use a notebook of some kind or the ol' computer. So when I hear that some writers have studios...what's in them? I mean my studio like I've mentioned is a pad, a pen and where even I decided to sit. _________________ [Insert smart ass remark] |

I paint in my entryway/kitchen... and I am currently out of wall space to hang my canvases. (The painting of the girl in the kimono is NOT a self portrait.) I also work digitally. Up to a certain point I only used Macs, now I use a customised PC (not shown in photo) and my trusty Wacom tablet. I have boxes & boxes of comics crowding my walkway. And a full book shelves of inspiring art books. Maybe if I start painting smaller I can get enough pieces done to send a portfolio to Image!

Hi "Yumiko"!
Medical Popcorn from this thread posted on one of my Q&A threads that I should check out your art that you posted here.
Here is the thread where he mentioned your work on my Q&A thread:
http://imagecomics.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=85008&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
And imagine my surprise to see that "Yumiko" was you!
I'm glad to see your art is doing so well. I hope you are doing wonderfully too.
Way back when, I tried sending you the photos we took together in Oakland CA but the package was sent back to me.
I hope you are having a great time back in Honolulu.
Is Gelly's and Gecko's book stores still there?
If so, and if you go there, please tell them that I say hello.
Feel welcome to show your work on my messageboard. There are links at davidmackguide.com.
And feel welcome to show your work on the Bendis board or my Q&A thread there as well.
In case you are back in the bay anytime soon, I'll be at the Wondercon in San Fran this February 18-20.
Kindest regards,
David |

Was it neccessary to quote the ENTIRE post from her? It made your entry all long and stuff. Therefore I now hate you for wasting my time.
Ok, I don't hate you anymore.
I'm at work, bored senseless and I forgot my sketchbook in my car. So I have to harrass people about stupid nonsense like this to fill my time.
Forgive me.

NEW TOY!!
Well, my mother works at an arts and crafts store and she tells me they are tossing out an "art shelf" (they newly remodeled). I already have a flat file storage (as shown earlier in this thread) but I'm always game to check out more stuff.
Especially if it is free.
Well I get to the store with my pickup truck and lo' and behold they have it out on the sidewalk. I laugh when I see the name across the top.
STRATHMORE
So here it is now resting lovingly in the opposite corner of my studio. What a SCORE! I love it. Not sure if I'll keep the logo up there, but it is rather nice . Shelves are fully adjustable, however, to hold the materials I'm using I'll have to add an edge across the full lip of the shelves, not just the center.
The store even tossed in a ton of colored foam core presentation board and a stack of colored poster / construction paper - which I have no idea what to do with. But I'll be damn I'm gonna let them toss out good paper while I stand around. haha! _________________ Jimmie Robinson!

Yeah, but it was like hearing a joke you've heard before with a really good punchline.  _________________

Name books, thesaurus, dictionaries (multilingual, if you can handle it), recent collegiate level textbooks on various subjects - often the sciences so that you can have your science as accurate as possible, books on the craft of writing.
Writing magazines to keep up to date on the most recent market trends and publishers available, guidebooks on the business of writing and publishing.
A comfortable chair and desk, stereo with music headphones or aviator's headphones (the kind that the flight deck people wear to protect their ears), depending on whether you like background noise or relative silence when you work.
Works by one's favorite writers or your most recent aquisitions to read, to read through and study for craft, or to keep your spirits up during times of writer's block.
Just to name a few items. _________________ Louis Bright-Raven

Cool stuff. I listen to music and then write in silence. As for books, pretty much the same. Between my wife and I, we have a library of books from a whole whack of different topics. I think the weirdest thing we have right now is our encyclopaedia on angles--when and where we got that is a mystery to us both.
Thanks for sharing.  _________________ [Insert smart ass remark] |
