In Love With Lead: November 2010

Hello! Hello!

You may call me: The Doodler, I'm an artist (at least that's what I like to think of myself as) from Miami Florida & I live in the greatest city on earth; New York City.

For some time now I've been wanting to show my art off to everyone and their mothers and what better place to do that than the internet?

This is my first blog, so don't expect to be blown away with my "master-blog-abilities". I wanted this blog here so I, an aspiring doodler from Miami; who's only dream is to share his own nonsense with the public, can show the world what I have to offer.

Some of you may be skeptical of my genuine desire and might be wondering: "What does this guy really want to get out of this?"

Well ladies & gentlemen and art lovers, art haters, comic book readers, cartoon heads, painters...and anyone else who likes to think of themselves as an "artist", my answer to that question is this:
My only wish, since I've been old enough to put a pencil in my hand and a doodle in sketch-book, has been to put my two cents into an industry...no...a lifestyle, that has helped me inch my way through this chaos that we call life.

So without further adieu, this is my blog.

My name is Michael Novo and I am in love with lead.

BLANKETS = GREAT READ

Just finished reading a great graphic novel. "Blankets" by : Craig Thompson.

"Blankets is the auto-biographical story of Craig Thompson. Craig takes us through some of the most important times in his life, from being picked on as a kid to learning to draw to his special relationship with his brother. But most of the book focuses on his first serious teenage romance with a beautiful girl named Raina. He doesn’t censor any parts of his feelings or their relationship, but lays everything out for us in black and white ( literally – there’s no color )."

9 out of 10. Good stuff & even better art. Its most definitely a good read for those who have an appreciation for teenage love stories. I MUST SAY......His relation ship with his brother is my favorite.. SIMPLY GENIUS !

Paper Bat II

So this was first attempt at Paper Art.. Still have to get the hang of alot of things BUT, Not too bad I think.. I did it under an hour and all I used was an exacto knife and tweezers & of course my super fine point Faber Castell ink pen for the detail and writing. More to come in due time.
