Roman Dirge is the dude!

Who is he you ask? Omg he is funneh. It’s no secret I love my comics. I love the bizarre, the weird, all things right up there with Tim Burton type gothy, dark creepy fucked up shit. It makes me grin. Don’t ask me why it just does something for me. I went wandering in town the other day after a lecture and found a comic shop and I literally got stupidly excited in there pacing backwards and forwards between comics, picking some up and grinning wildly. I bought me a Lenore comic. They also have some Luis Royo books so I will definitely be going back there for more goodness!

Anyhoo Mister Dirge is the creator of the Lenore character, inspired by the poem “Lenore,” by Edgar Allan Poe.  And the fact that I am a huge tattoo art nut makes me like the guy even more with him sporting over 75 tattoos. Very cool.Yes see there’s a theme here lol. Told by his art teachers that he would never make it as an artist due to his crude style, he quit art and became a full-time magician. (what is it with people quashing other peoples passions grrr) After a few years, his passion for art overtook him and he created the comic about Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl for Xenophobe magazine.  Isn’t she cute! …

Hehe can you see why I like her? He’s also done some awesome wee animations, 26 episodes in all I think.

You can watch more of them here. Just scroll down the page a little.  Anyhooo’s there’s a little bit more about things that make Impy *squeeee*. I’m off to read my new comic

Slowly she unraveled
and bravely peeled apart
exposing her darkness
in all its authenticity
feeling vulnerable…
then free
by becoming undone.

(clicky)

So as usual impy is a brainless noggin and completely forgot what this month was …

ASK QUESTIONS MONTH THINGYMAJIGGY

Yes. That means you get to ask me obscure and random amusing questions. It’s kinda helpful atm as I am up to my eyeballs in assignments so poking my brain is a good thing rather than me trying to dream up interesting posts of deviancy to keep you all entertained.

Nearly losing my son at birth, that moment of not knowing which way it was going to go.
