I would buy it, I would. The mustache is hot.
Yeah, "I am the Beardless Cartoonist" --HAW!
HA HA HA HA! I got through 90% of this post, to the part where I was looking at the old covers, and I thought, "Why doesn't he do something with telephone wires and CROWS? ;)
Well, you didn't have a back cover yet, right? You could still use this... Or turn it into a limited edition poster or something, for the "in-the-know" cons, to promote/celebrate the book.
I guess I agree with Microcosm... One of your beautiful bridge drawings, or cityscapes would go a long ways towards making strangers buy the book....
i'll have to talk scott into printing a 5 foot poster of it for you.
I really like the first photo. I think the light and colors are beautiful. Really nice, Nate.
@mlaarg: not sure about returning to oregon. we're considering austin, tx even tho i've never even been there. ha! i'm also visiting jeremy next week in new orleans, who knows what will come of that. i do consider myself a fullblooded oregonian, tho, and am pretty set on building a shack by the river when i'm done roaming.
@chris: good points, and i guess what i concluded myself -- focus on what the lil' beast is good for. i was still pretty shocked at the near-impossibility of getting consistently decent pictures with a digicam. i guess it had just been a while. it really seems like there's a largely random chance what you shoot will turn out with digicams, whereas w/ even the cheapest of DSLRs (i am still most wooed by the 300d) it's the opposite.
i guess it's a separate subject, but i reiterate my strong desire for a walkaround compact with a large sensor. i think a lot of DSLR owners would buy one, which makes me surprised the market hasn't been explored.
Yes, your wee Sony is no match for your monster Canon. But you seem to have bought it for a different reason (portability, snapshot from pocket), right? It's a different _type_ of photography, the kind that you can only get when nobody notices you taking pictures.
Look for things (like video) in a digicam that you can't do (or can't do easily) with an SLR, and you won't be disappointed. My favorite example is the rotating barrel on Sony's DSC-F88. You can shoot low, shoot high, even take pictures behind you and still frame the shot on screen. It's absolutely unlike any other camera, and so it doesn't seem to suck.
Ha! We've had a similar Sony DSC-P200 or some crap for a year or two. Virtually impossible to get a decent picture out of... I was beginning to believe I had just lost the ability to operate a camera in my old age. As you said, the thing does shoot surprisingly good videos; now it's primary function. I've been lazily craigslisting for a DSLR (Recently having built a darkroom that I have never and will never use). Umm... here's where I trail off- forgetting the intended conclusion of this comment. Are you ever coming back to Oregon? We've become bored and lame up here, if that's any motivation.
hi Nate !
Happy new Year and happy to see that you're still working for this great man named Willy Vlautin ! i'm waiting february to order this new novel ! The Motel life was such a good book, full of friendshipness and fraternity !
take care
max
I agree. I need to pick up a copy of that. As well as many others...
Awesome Nate!! Can't wait to see rest.
Nate! Your drawings/stories are awesome! It was so awesome meeting you two this week, thanks again for treating us to delicious BBQ-ed meat. Count me in as a Brainfag fan.
I, too, can't wait to read--and look at--the rest of this. Now I know the meaning of the word draw--your illos draw me into the story so effortlessly! You hardly need words and they only enhance the drawings.
And yes! brain fag forever--bff your #1 fan, mom
you're not alone. traffic here has dropped considerably. could be from not posting anything since SEPTEMBER 29! jesus. so sad. i guess spending 8-10 hours a day on holamun2.com will do that to you.
funny thing is, you've missed a ton of silly shit i've been doing to the site that don't show up on the rss feed in the last month.
looks GREAT dude. Man... I'm so hooked on my RSS feeder I barely ever hit the real site. There is some cool shit floating around in here! I especially like those hollaMun2 illustrations you did.
I have been (incorrectly) thinking that you are spending ALL your time behind the computer. It's awesome to see you are still drawing up a storm.
Nate this is amazing! I can't wait to read the rest of this...
I was so pumped to hear how productive you have been of late on the drawing front. Brainfag Forever indeed!!!
this kills me. the corresponding dips in the graph? it goes beyond killing me. it tortures me for 3 days then kills me.
I love it.
aha! totally. thanks mindy! miss those girls.
Emily from Texas........!
