@Laburrini oh cool. I’d rather not be too specific on my location, but for now I’m in Australia. The skate culture here, from what I see, isn’t as rich as in Europe or North America sadly.

@Laburrini watercolour can be a great medium. I’ve never played with it much. I’m colour blind so I tend I to work without colour! There’s an artist I love, a fellow Mad Magazine artist in fact, called Hermann Mejia. He uses watercolour brilliantly. Rocket ollies, hell yeah, sounds awesome. Did you build the miniramp yourself? There are some skateparks near me, yes. I’m too nervous to go just yet… I will eventually. 😅

@imstilljeremy thanks Jeremy, I’ll put it in my reading list!

@Laburrini nice, I like to do everything myself too. Though I’m more focused on pencils. Do you have a favourite part of the process? I just skate flat areas near my home. Getting comfortable riding around on the board before learning tricks. I’m interested in street rather than vert. And you?

@imstilljeremy thanks Jeremy! I’ve never read any X-Men before. You reckon I can jump into this cold? Or do you have suggestions on a better place to start?

@Laburrini hey, I like your stuff! Do you do everything - pencils, ink and colour? You drew for Mad Magazine?? That’s a dream of mine. I grew up reading Mad. I hope to be as prolific as you one day. And I’m excited to meet another beginner skateboarder 👊🛹 Having fun?

@imstilljeremy I am also wanting to dive deeper into comic books, so I’m keen to see people’s responses to this. So far I’ve read more standalone books, so I can’t recommend any that point to the next one like you mentioned. If you like #batman I highly recommend Year One, The Long Halloween and The Dark Knight Returns. I’m currently reading White Knight at the moment and I’m enjoying it. It’s fun for Batman fans, includes a lot of references to past stories. Art by #SeanMurphy is 🤩
