I don't get the cover. Elspeth is blonde.

Little Hannah the Fool can't make up her mind. I was about to burst by the time I reached the last page. Ugh. Should send her to some motivational course. As always, Gregory uses history as Elizabeth used her man-whores. Pfft.

Oh she writes delightfully! I can't wait for her next book! Please, Ms Clarke, please publish the next book already!

This is the last book in the trilogy - no wait! There's a fourth one coming soon. Oh bloody hell. Can no body stop this guy from writing? Now why would I wish that? I have no clue myself. But he should keep promises. It was meant to be a TRILOGY!

Oh good. Another good Cillian Murphy flick. He he. But Eccleston - ewww though his character was - practically stole the limelight.

N.B.: I should invest in a scanner.

I really like your drawing style. It reminds me of the old cartoons (the German ones) that I used to watch on the CBC channel at about midnight with my dad when I couldn't sleep. It's a very comforting feeling to be reminded of those times.

As for the scanner--all I have to say about that issue is to not buy one according to price. The price in this case really does decide the quality of the scanner itself...

wow that is very beautiful...

a scanner would be nice :P

you definitely should get a scanner... there are those two-in-one types, which come as a printer-cum-scanner so that you can save some table space... think HP used to give those away when you bought a new PC from them...

Yes, damnit! You really should get a scanner! I love the style of your drawings, and I would really like to see more of it! :)

Sorry to spam your comments but I just have to say that I agree on what you said in Taxi 3 :) I love the first one!

Posted by Malin at 4:46 AM, December 07, 2006

Malin: Thanks. Yes, I loved the first Taxi. Trilogies are tricky. They very often fail, no?

I definitely like your style. It's cool.

Ooh. I really like that last one, "Celestial Navigation". She's really intriguing, and look at that hair!

Get a scanner! I have a three-in-one from Canon and it works great. It cost only $248 when I first bought it three years ago -- the price must have fallen by now. Though to be precise, it isn't my scanner, it's the office's.

But these two/three/four-in-ones take up a lot of space..

When you do have a scanner, make a layout out of one of your drawings. Entirely.
