i wish it was cooler so i could wear my wizard hat. maybe i should get like a straw wizard hat or something

wow they all look like shit, have indecipherable sizing, or are 200 dollars

what the fuck. this is unacceptable. Summer wizard hats must be accessible

I like colour comics fine, but I've said before and will say again that my heart truly belongs to greyscale comics, and just! Just look at this panel!!!!

The screentone in the background that's so carefully and delicately cut away to show the back of griffith's head and the strands of his hair. The way the front of the hair is shaded. The screentone and pen making his eyes so deep and dark and the way that the all of that works to pull you into the eyes. The restraint in the hatching on his armour, the way that Miura knows just where to put it to give volume without overloading or taking away from the overall lightness of the panel. The tiny imperfection on the left where a little bit of the hatching crosses the panel line, reminding you that this is a thing someone made with his hands.

When you leave colour behind and play in the space of pure value you get a starkness and a contrast that always dazzles me with its simplicity. I love colour, I think it's gorgeous, I use it a lot in my own work - but the clarity and precision that you can get with greyscale speaks to my imagination so powerfully. I think when you play purely in the world of light, shadow and shape you make an emotive space that is incredibly expansive and expressive, and I just find it so, so compelling.

dust this place off been awhile since I uploaded here!!!!!
