Fragments From My Sketchbook + Prize

E25 

That would be the humble library of my school – well in 365 IP world at least.
I realized a bit too late that the phrase “no books can be borrowed” should not be taken literally…

But let's stop bumbling about myself and skip to what everyone is interested in: 

let's hear about the prize! 

Well as I said, this is the 365 IP word version of the school library. You know what it's like to draw that many books? At first it's quite entertaining, thinking of all those titles and design of the books, but then eventually it gets boring, and... one might put certain books on the shelf that just does not belong there. First person who can spot* all 3 said books, and tell which fandom of mine inspired their putting on the self, will get the prize! Which is...

I'm giving out followerdrawings again!
The person who wins, gets a drawing of themselves, in their own 365IP world library, which contains carefully selected (by me) items depending on the person's mentality, interests, fandoms, everything... How 'bout that? Just send me the answers (3 books and the reason – you think – made me put them on the self), and the first one who guesses well, will get it (sometime...). (Unless you want Kornél to get it, because he was the first correct guesser, but that doesn't count since he saw it days before anyone could, plus I gave him some hints... But it's still pretty impressive, so if noone will guess the correct answers, he legally won.)

* You will need the picture in bigger size for that, but don't worry, I haven't resized it this time, so that when you click on it, it will show in original size.
(if not: right click, open in new tab, there you go)

Fragments From My Sketchbook

E23

I've never thought someday I'd be the biggest egghead at some school. Neither anyone who ever had the privilege to teach me. 
Well. People change.

Whatever happened to ye olde consistency?

So you're probably wondering if I'll ever continue posting to these sites of mine. Well... Thing is, I'm wondering too.

Here's the case in brief:

• I got a fulltime job (FINALLY) in January at the local newspaper as a layout editor. That takes a lot of time, like, being there from morning till late afternoon (sometimes even till night) and even working when I'm at home. Besides, I'm new, still in probation, so I'd better be very active. Like very, very active.
• I have exams. Serious ones. Like there are these modules, and my work for it must be like super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing, because I'll need to defend it at my finals in June.
• It's my senior year. That means I'll have to start working on my Big Final Work thingy (something like a thesis but less tapping the keyboard, more drawing and glueing and whatever creative work), and learn all those terrifyingly great amount of... stuff.
• I have some other things I promised my friends before Christmas and everything. Like this great book a friend of mine wrote, I'm making its layout and even doing some proofreading too. So... things like that.

As you can see, it's quite a busy period for me. But fear not, I'll work something out!

Do you know this type? The teachers's favourite? Those annoying eggheads students, who always serves as a good reference for the teacher comparing other students and saying sentences like: “Well done, very well done, X. At least there's someone who has read the book I recommended!” …or “You think it's too much? Well, then how could X make it?” and so on. They're the ones, who always do their homeworks, always read the required readings. They have no life at all, their best buddy at school is the teacher, whom they look up to as to a saint. They nod approvingly to every word the teacher says and can't even think of not to pay attention during class. Discussing the deficiencies of the lesson in front of them is the worst idea, and yes, they are the ones who get beaten up by their classmates after school.

The final, most serious phase of being “teacher's favourite” is, when they start to borrow books from the teacher. That is the irrevocable proof that they seceded from normal student community for good.

So even though most of these are not true for me, after being called a nerd and then realizing that I'm about to borrow a book from a teacher seemed kinda scary at first. But seriously, won't you be extremely excited to read the sentences written by noone else but Eric Gill himself?! (Am I being a typofreak again?…) Then again, there is a great difference between teacher and teacher, okay?…

New characters this time, and a different technique. Plus, captions, as a bonus. (I did it in Hungarian, but I added English translations.)
