About Me

I'd like to discover more about: Books, Art Supplies

I'm a student who breathes books. I also have an affinity for anything long and flow-y.

Outside of those, I'm a comics/graphic novel geek and enjoy drawing in various cartoon styles (would you believe I originally started because of Archie Comics?).

Code Geass/Lelouch of the Rebellion: St... Quick Tip by Karlisle    On November 21, 2009

Welcome to Lunch Karlisle! I also love to draw but have never tried cartooning, have you ever read Cartooning the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm? I wonder if you have ever tried the Staedtler fineliner pens, I want to get some myself. Anyhow, let me know if you need anything, I'm always around on Lunch!
