Results of the Library Game

As you might remember, the contest ended 5 weeks ago, but I haven't had time to create the prizes. Until now!

We have a winner!

So the contest is closed, stop guessing, because from this moment

It's Susi. And we also have a consolation prize which goes to Iza.

But I end it here, further information (mostly about what those books in question actually were) come later. As well as the prize drawing of these two. :)

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)

When I'm speaking about followers, I speak about people who hit the “join this site” button on the right, and that quite sums it up all. But to be a “follower” – especially considering christian terminology – is much more than this. It calls for commitment and endurance and a great willingness to get on the nerves of everyone around you by the constant advertising of the one you follow. 

Well you can't say Kornél is not a good follower. He loves my blog from the the very day he first saw it, shared more posts than anyone else, and I don't have evidence for it, but his liking rate probably beats everyone else's as well. (In fact he was the first requiring “Like” button bellow the posts.) And what would describe the essence of being a “follower” better than the fact that he learned to identify Comic Sans Criminalism sooner than anyone else? Well maybe only today's drawing can outshine that.

Followerdrawing for Gabi, my flatmate (well more accurate to say that on fridays we're sleeping in the same apartment). And it's a true story!

04/14/2012

Followerdrawing for Helga, my flatmate (well, saying I'm staying at her apartment on fridays so that I can go to school on saturdays is much closer to the truth). One can say a lot of cool things about her, but it is clear, that she has absolutely no sense to become a freak, let alone typography freak! OK, maybe Kindersley was a bit too old for Lida (marrying a guy who has more common themes with your grandpa than with yourself is maybe not the best idea), and OK, maybe he might have had a wife when Lida fell in love with him, but hey, he kept a distance (as much as it was possible while showing her the proper way of holding the chisel for lettering). And nothing happened between them for 2,5 years… Well, the book doesn't tell about it, and other sources are laconic on this as well, but I sense that his wife died. …OK, maybe not, and he finally divorced and he's a horrible man anyway, but let me believe that he was a nice guy. I mean, afterall, it's David Kindersley!

Well… where was I? Oh, yes. Helga. Followerdrawing. Do not read typofreak stories for normal people. And stuff.

That is true. Chinese people only wear green hats when they want to tell the outside world that their spouse is cheating on them. Without trying to philosophize on the fact that anyone would want to communicate such thing to the outside world, it's an interesting thing isn't it.

But as for Susi, my 17th follower, I don't even know where to start… Maybe the easiest way to sum her personality up is to say: she is the German me, while I'm the Hungarian Susi. It is hard to tell which one of us had bigger impact on the other. Although, it is a fact that after living together for a half year I passed my lateness-carma to her, the most punctual person I know – <cough> no cultural prejudices. Also, she's the person who's name probably gonna be well known worldwide from our (expectedly) famous musical: Susi Poppins. But more on that maybe later. 

As you might have found out, she currently lives in China, teaching English for little chinese children. But I don't have to be uninformed about her everyday life, because we can still skype sometimes, and she also reports her friends about her curious adventures in her newsletters written on literary work style, which will make a pretty good book sometime in the future.


So you'd better remember her name, people!

Followerdrawing #15 for Dóri, the cutest little girl I know. Like seriously, the first word that most likely comes to one's mind about her is “cuteness”. That's it. Some people just born for that. And it's OK.

And when I asked her to follow my blog publicly, do you know what did she ask for? What? A unicorn. Like, seriously, a unicorn, that's all that she wanted.

Dóri. Unicorn. Cuteness. Followerdrawing.

Followerdrawing #14 goes to Szilvi, one of my classmates. One of those who has a great tendency to think of morbid stuff. Not that it's a rare thing in our class, but she's outstanding in at least one other thing as well: having an extraordinary love towards dogs. And when these two come together, well, the results you can check out on her portfolio page. 

But as for typography, seems like her philosophy is “Everything has its limits” and as for freakness it's typography where man should say “stop”. Though you might remember when I said that one cannot read The Book without getting at least a bit typofreak, and though you might remember the drawing about Eszti carrying 4 of them (which were actually for my classmates, including Szilvi), but, well, seems like the magic is not working in this case. Well. Can't everyone be isolated freak!

Followerdrawing #13 goes to Dusi, one of my closest friends. But in fact, it's not her first appearance in 365IP world. You could have already seen her as a bear arriving in Jászberény with her sister-bear; a bear who's afraid of a cutesy-wootsie giant doggy-woggy; an important member of the Spinster Club and a very upset working woman on 8th March. And now you have the opportunity to get to know a whole new side of her: the mature adult.

Ahh, inside jokes! So annoying when you're the one who just stands there and doesn't understand why everyone else is laughing hysterically on something that sounds like an ordinary phrase, but, on the other hand, so great, when you're one of those who have the key to understand it.

Well, sorry guys, but this time you'll be in the former group, except if you're Betti, who is my 13th follower, so here comes followerdrawing #12 (remember: follower 6, Emese didn't want one, because I did dailydrawings starring her anyway).

For what else reason do someone go to a christian student retreat, right?…

(FÉK is a christian student organization, which – amongst many other programs – organizes two student retreats a year: one at fall and one at spring; one weekend of talks, seminars, small group discussions, fun programs, fellowship and lots of laugh – all this to learn more about God while having some fun.)

This is an extra-followerdrawing for Vikky, who not only followed my blog, but also brought here many people who followed it. So if you've already got your followerdrawing, but want another too, you know what to do… 

03/27/2012

So yes. Rich Chwastiak AKA “the WIG” is following my blog! Old followers of my 365IP know who I'm talking about, but knowing that a lot of people just joined I take some time to speak about him.

For his friendship I can thank Tristan Clopet and his youtube channel which I've found accidentally. Rich plays in his band called Tristan Clopet and the Juice, and that's briefly how I became aquinted with him.

But he's not only playing in TC&J, but in fact, he's a professional percussionist, who graduated at the New England Conservatory a year ago. Cool, huh? :) And – besides being a traditional percussionist (btw, the thing you can see on my drawing worth a watch too) – he's also an internationally touring NY-based DJ and electro-percussionist with the name “the WIG” (and if you think of his original name, you can understand…)

During this half year since I know him, I've done him a lot of drawings and stuff which you can check out on his FB-fanpage, youtube channel, and soundcloud page as well, but you can find some in my behance portfolio too.

So... yeah. I have a famous celebrity follower! What do you say about that?! :D

Remember what I've written about follower #12? That I don't know her and stuff? Well... the thing is...

Of course she did not react like this, because she's super cute (and maybe even she forgot) but guys, seriously, forgetting people you've met is not a nice thing. :)  

03/21/2012

Guys, let me introduce Mónika, the… (drumroll please)…  10th follower of my page!

Who I also haven't met yet but know her through a detailed list about her given by Vikky again… In which this one thing was particularly interesting for me… And you know, 10, it's a milestone, let's celebrate it, and let's be generous…

03/20/2012

When I started this whole “follow me and I'll reward you” thing (in other words when I started cheating) I only thought of it as a good way to motivate my friends. But that people I don't even know will start to follow me this soon – I didn't hope for that! :)

The 9th follower of my site is Zita, alias “Mangóó”, who I had not the opportunity to know personally – until now. But thanks to Vikky, she got to know me and Entrustedproperty, and she thought it's worth following. Well, I'm really thankful for that – to her and Vikky too –, but how to draw a personalized drawing now? Well thanks to Vikky's detailed description about her, it wasn't a problem. When I've read it, I just knew what should I draw.

(If you're wondering, what's that black-white something with weird/ugly yellow something in Zita's hand, well. That's what the cover of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games look like in 365IP-world. Yepp. Things look here differently. Welcome my dear to my world.)

My 8th follower happened to be Vikky, a good friend, who – though I mainly had the chance to contact with via Facebook – I had great conversations with since the 2 years we've known each other.

If you get to know only two things about her it must be that
#1 she loves Sailor Moon (well… she loves all japanese animes in general, still, the utmost is unquestionably SM)
and
#2 she has a perverse affection to digital art (which, if you ask me, is from the Devil, as all things that is digital) – as much that she not only enjoys it, but loves to create stuff as well, which you can check out in her deviantart page.

So with that in mind, I think she will enjoy the following one (because frankly, if she doesn't like this, I don't know what does she)

This follower-drawing goes to Dorka, who I met one and a half year ago at a student retreat. And as you can see: though we don't exactly speak the same language, we always can express our feelings for each other perfectly. :)

03/10/2012

A new follower-drawing again. This time it's for Eni, my best friend, who I know since elementary school. That's a history, eh? And on Saturday she came over, to discuss new stuff happened in our lifes lately. Being an isolated freak, the things I could report were mainly drawings, and being a typofreak… well… yes.

03/09/2012

This is the 4th follower-drawing I made. It was done for Eszti, whose follow is more than worthy, because it was done "against her better judgement".

About her, well, what could I say? Those of you who followed me continuously, probably know her better than I could say anything new. Yes, she's the girl with the long, red, vavy hair from all those pictures. Clearly, she was featured in more drawings than anyone but The Book. And even if they weren't enough for you to know her, let this drawing speak instead of me, about which event she said: “Noone… ever… ever in life summed up better my personalty in a single word.” 

Finally, what else could I say, than she is one of my closest friends, for which I'm even more thankful than for her following.
