-Re-reading Scott Mccloud's Making Comics and Understanding Comics. I highly recommend both of them to anyone interested in any kind of artsy activity. They help to put a lot of things in perspective for me and begin to expand greatly on the notion of what a comic really is and can be.
-I watched a lot of really good films this year, some of which inspired me a great deal. I had several fits of extreme writing (which I didn't do a whole lot with..) that ended in me drawing a lot of design sketches or starting a few projects that, at the very least, served their purpose nobly. But it also lead to a few decent short comics I did this year.
-Most importantly was probably drawing with Adam. There were quite a few nights I would have just wasted without drawing if it wasn't from him. I've learned a lot from him artistically and personally, and I've tried to pull a lot from the way he handles shape, form, and figure. Positioning and movement is natural to him, which is incredible because those are what I seem to be struggling the most with.
-And of course, what little I've done with this blog here (this blog which is entirely Jeremy's fault (who is also a great artist check out how much he's grown in such a short time). It's nice to talk about art, even if only to myself. Hopefully I can muster more of that.
I'm also interested in anything you felt helped you this year with your endeavors. So here's to a good birthday for me tomorrow, and a great next year for everyone!
