Übermensch

I've finished reading the Gunnerkrigg Court archives and I recommend the comic. It has cute art and has so far been pretty interesting. It only has a small archive so it's not a major hassle to catch up either. I’ve also finished reading Fight Club and am definitely looking forward to reading more stuff by Palahniuk. In the meantime I have a book by Hunter S. Thompson (Same guy who did Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas). The book is called Kingdom of Fear. I haven’t read it but Astra says it’s a collection of random stories and events and that it's good, so we’ll see how that goes.

I went and hung out with Manny and his Mrs for a few hours before they had to go. Manny’s getting his drawing on and working out the kinks at the moment (he said he's still a bit rusty). I’ve challenged him to draw a coat of arms for himself and I’m gonna see what I can do about creating one for myself. I’ve also got a shirt design I’m s’posed to be working on for Bear’s band and my mate Grishmael wants me to illustrate a comic he’s written. He doesn’t think I like the joke very much, but I’m just too lazy to draw at the moment. It’ll all happen at some point I’m sure.

I was messing around with a few ideas today. Grishmael and I were discussing the whole Superman Nazi connection. The Nazi’s were obsessed with a master race of superior humans. Superman looked like a human (even if he’s an alien) and he was superior. The Nazi’s liked blonde hair and blue eyes. I guess superman has black hair not blonde, and I’m really only assuming his eyes are blue but he has Aryan features right? Anyway nevermind that, I ended up making some Superman/Nazi logos. I'm not entirely happy with them but it's not like I'll ever use them for anything anyway. Remember kids, before you email me - I hate Nazi’s too.I quite like this one but the connection to the superman logo is pretty flimsy. I've basically taken out the swastika and put a Ü in the circle. Still I think it looks alright.The problem with putting the Ü in the diamond is that it doesn't really fill it. I did this once with normal dots as well but it didn't look that crash hot.I like this last one but I'm not sure about the squared off bottoms to the lightning bolts, I actually like them like this but I reckon I'm probably in the minority. I tried extending the lightning bolt to the bottom and that looks dumb because it fills in the bottom of the diamond and I also tried moving them around but this is pretty much the best position for them.
