Description
There once was a doctorA little bit mad
Bent on completing a blueprint he had
With wires and screws
And a circular part
All the tragic ambition that made up a heart.

Naw, I get inspiration from a lot of place and I think it's sad that more people don't get credit for doing dark art. Tim does do a great job but I really like a lot of the old black and white films (old films) like the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, AWESOME! Edward Gorey is also very cool as an illustrator. Actually I think Tim stole a lot of inspiration from him, I lost a bit of appreciation for him and his melancholy death of oyster boy.

It's really wonderful! AGAIN!! =O
You're doing such a great job on this book, how can you NOT have any fun making it? O.o
And by the way, what sort of book is it going to be? And what's it for?

Well it's for a poetry class and the reason I'm not enjoying it is cause originally for our final project we were gonna be able to create whatever we wanted (I was gonna make a poetry book of my own), then last minute a professor from another class has his class doing a book making project of their own, so now I'm partnered with 2 other students not even in my major, and I don't mean to put them down at all but it's not at all the design I was going for. These pictures are all gonna be cut into 3 parts and be used as a paper doll in this weird Japanese hole punch slip stitch (I can't remember what it's called) thing. Yup, that's about it. I just wanted my own design done, I'm too selfish...

Wajang/wayang paper dolls? No wait, I think those were Indonesian...
Yeah, okay, I see what you ment here. It surely sucks if you've been looking forward to making something of your own, and you end up having to do it with two others as well.
I wish you all of the best, and you sould really try to have some fun, otherwise it'll never work out good.
