Supergirl is (finally) awesome!
Submitted by Living Between Wednesdays on 10.6.08 at 8:53am.
I feel bad that I didn't get a chance to post any reviews this week. Mostly because this week saw the release of Supergirl #34, which was the debut issue for the new creative team.

Green Skies
Submitted by Blogger on 08.6.08 at 7:52am.
And here's the final piece, Green Skies. I think it's funny that this still looks a bit like a kid's book. I don't think I'll ever reach further than YA in my paintings, which is fine with me of course.

One of the great things about having a major art school in town is in the artistic influence it wields, even if you aren’t dreaming of being the next conceptual art star or world-renowned painter.
If you’re interested in learning more about art, but can’t commit to enrolling in a full-fledge...
