I'm allowed to paint my bedroom wall how i want, any ideas?
I'm a teenage girl my room is medium sized. My whole room has been painted white and I'm allowed to draw or paint whatever i want on it and I'm stuck for ideas.
First i was thinking like a comic strip, Roy Lichtenstein style or maybe do something oriental like this http://www.precisionpointgraphics.com/airbrush/oriental_mural.jpg
Continuing from the Litchtenstein idea, you could perhaps do a massive painting of yourself and friends or family in that kind of style (although if you were to choose friends then be wary that it'll still be there if you had a fall out with them), or just you doing something you love. Or you could paint a big picture of a place you love to go, for example the beach or the city centre. You could even do the comic strip idea, but with an oriental feel, kind of like a Mulan style?

Why is it that only western comics make successful movies, while eastern ones like Manga don't?
I noticed through out the 90s all the way up into today, comic/graphic novel adapted movies from the Western hemisphere- from the US (mostly) or Great Britain usually become big hits or cult classics while ones from Japan never get wide release spreads or get critically panned if they're live action (ex: the Guyver, Dragon Ball Evolution). I mean if you look what's been playing- Thor, Green Lantern, Xmen, they become Block Buster hits. Japan's 2nd most successful anime "Howl's Moving Castle" isn't even based off a Manga, its a British Graphic Novel. So what I'm getting at is are comics and Graphic Novels better than Manga? It seems so because of all the movies and high sales of comics. Even if the movie doesn't become a Block Buster Hit, it eventually becomes a cult classic- EX: The Punisher, or even the crappy Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.
Even in the 90s, The Crow was popular.
its because their more popular directors are willing to throw more money into them. while manga has gotten alot more popular its not popular enough to throw millions of dollars into making.

In the late 1940s, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby creators of Captain America set the comics world on fire with the creation of a new genre that resulted in some of the best-selling American comic books of all time: the romance comics. The stories they created were exciting, innovative, and beautifully drawn, and remain a high point in both artists careers, even as Kirby went on to become the unrivaled King of Comics and co-creator (along with Stan Lee) of many of the most iconic characters in American history. These two towering titans of the field produced stories for titles such as Young Romance, Young Love, and Western Love for over twelve years until the genre ran out of steam in 1959, and Jack Kirby moved on to a little-known outfit called Marvel Comics. The Romance Comics of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby brings this wonderful work back to light by reprinting 21 stories in full-color, from 13 years of Simon and Kirby s romance comics: 200 pages of never-before reprinted material painstakingly restored over a five-year period by award-winning artist and animator Michel Gagne (Flight, Star Wars: Clone Wars).

My Pet Mouse Jack
My pet mouse Jack
Found his way in my backpack
I was totally unaware
That this animal was there.
My goodness! What shall I do?
My options are very few.
I cannot keep him inside my bag-too bad
Cause that would make him very sad.
I fed him with bits of cheese
While hiding him inside my sleeve.
"John, why aren't you paying attention?"
Mrs. Funnybone mentioned.
Everything was fine
And I wasn't getting out of line.
"I was listening attentively"
I said assuredly.
Suddenly Jack jumped out
And gave a terrible shout
A squeak so loud
That everyone scampered about.
Mrs. Funnybone screamed, "A mouse! A mouse!
I must get back to my house!"
As soon as she reached for the door
Her wig fell on the floor.
Oh such terrible things
I'm sure she wished she had wings
To fly far, far away
And come back another day.
While everyone rushed around the room
Mrs. Funnybone swoon.
Principal Snout came just in time
To witness what I considered was a terrible crime.
I knew that I was in trouble
I started seeing double.
He tried to keep everyone calm
But I was terribly alarmed.
While my pet mouse Jack
Was sitting quietly, nibbling cheese, on a table at the back.
My Teacher Mrs. Johnson
My teacher Mrs. Johnson has a bushy ponytail that hangs way down to the back
And every time she passes by it gives me a terrible whack!
It flicks me in the eye
Until I feel like I could die.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Johnson, please cut that ponytail
Cause every time you pass by, I feel like I would wail.
I'd love to tell her how I feel
But that I think would be a terrible ordeal.
How do I let her know
That her ponytail hurts me so?
I'm afraid she'll get upset
And throw out the fish I gave her for a pet.
My feelings I need to release
Will someone help me please?

ok, as people who have answered my Q's before, im a comic strip artist (well trying to be anyway),
the boy in this (main char) is revealing to the readers that he is....
now this is the part i got problems with. should he:
A. be a crossdresser, as in, still a boy but dresses and acts (sometimes) like a girl.
OR
B. have a way to change back and forth between a boy and a girl.
(if you havent worked it out its a CD/TG based comic)
any other ideas are appriciated.
no negative comments plz
The main character should NOT define himself. That is for his fans to determine.
You boy could be confused with his gender and orientation. He may be a boy who feels a NEED to have a feminine alter-ego. He doesn't think he is gay, he certainly doesn't want to be gay.... but, sometimes he thinks his female alter-ego would like a boyfriend. He spends his days as a boy but at night the feelings to crossdress become stronger. The darkness helps him look more passable. He enjoys sports, video games, and action movies.... but, somehow he can't help but pay attention to the fashion world, women's clothes, and his favorite hobby is making his own clothes.

30 Rock Seasons 1-3 DVD
30 Rock Keeps the Awkward Laughs Coming http://buydvdmart.com/product_info.php/30-rock-seasons-13-dvd-p-544 It's been a miserable few years for TV comedy. Fark! But thankfully there is still one hilarious show left on TV. Tina Fey's 30 Rock has honed and refined it's excruciating brand of "awkward comedy" during the last three years, and the award-winning show is still going strong. http://buydvdmart.com/product_info.php/30-rock-seasons-13-dvd-p-544 Shows like Arrested Development and the stand-up of Late Night with Conan O'Brien helped build an audience for awkward humor over the last decade. The shift was a refreshing change from the mundane observations of Jerry Seinfeld and the crude physical comedy of cartoons like Family Guy. Awkward comedy began to flourish when Arrested Development aired on Fox in 2003, paving the way for shows like The Office. But The Office ain't what it once was, as Michael Scott's workplace antics have gone from blushably funny to old. So when The Office started to go bad and Arrested Development was cancelled, prospects for awkward comedy looked bleak. http://buydvdmart.com/product_info.php/30-rock-seasons-13-dvd-p-544 30 Rock is keeping the genre alive. The comics of Saturday Night Live are experienced in self-deprecating humor, and Tina Fey (who plays Liz Lemon) is a pro. Lemon does not go to the gym and doesn't care if anyone knows. She loves her Slanket and, according to her boss Jack Donaghy, is the closest thing to a "bro" in the office. As head honcho of the fictional show TGS with Tracy Jordan, she's never afraid to say exactly what pops into her head: "Hey, nerds! Guess who has two thumbs, speaks limited French, and hasn't cried once today. This moi!" In moments like that, 30 Rock sets the standard for awkward humor, while also raising the bar for TV comedy. What are u doing these days? I am going to recommend a Eshop to you. Yesterday i found a web of a large trading company from China, which is an agent of all the well-known dvd boxset factories, and facing to both wholesalers, retailsalers, and personal customer all over the world. They export all kinds of sex product and offer really competitive and reasonable price and high quality goods for their clients, so i think you will make a big profit if you did business with them. And they promise they will provide the best after-sales-service. If you are interested to do business with them, in my opinion, you can make a trial order to test that.

Personally, I loved Kazu Kibuishi's Copper series and Sarah Ellerton's Inverloch.
Though, now I've finished both, I can't seem to find any good ones on my own. Therefore...
Could you guys provide (1) a list of your favorite ones, and (2) some recommendations of several fantasy-themed titles with good artwork? Thanks!
Some of my favorites include...
~VG Cats
~8bit Theater (fantasy-ish, sprite comic)
~Looking for Group (fantasy, good artwork)
~Dominic Deegan (fantasy, artwork iffy)
~Dueling Analogs

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Webcomics, online comics, or Internet comics are comics published on a website. While most are published exclusively on the web, others are also published in magazines, newspapers or, often selfpublished, books. Webcomics can be compared to selfpublished print comics in that almost anyone can create their own webcomic and publish it. As of January 2007, the four largest webcomic hosting services hosted over 18,000 webcomics, ranging from traditional comic strips to graphic novels and covering many genres and subjects. Very few are financially selfsustaining. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Lost is an American serial drama television series. It follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, United States, crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life, though other time-related plot devices change this formula in later episodes. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004, and since then five full seasons have aired. The show airs on the American Broadcasting Company in the United States, as well as on regional networks in many other countries.
Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television. It was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber and is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions. The score is composed by Michael Giacchino. The executive producers of the final season are Lindelof, Abrams, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Jean Higgins, Elizabeth Sarnoff and Carlton Cuse.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the series has become a part of American popular culture with references to the story and its elements appearing in other television series,[5] commercials, comic books,[6] webcomics, humor magazines, a video game[7][8] and song lyrics. The show's fictional universe has also been explored through tie-in novels, board and video games, and alternative reality games, The Lost Experience and Find 815.

Xinjiang's Massive Muslim Markets
Perhaps the foremost reason why so few travelers make the journey to northwest China’s Xinjiang province is quite simply its vastness. Aside from being located on the exact opposite side of the country from Beijing, which itself is a long journey even by plane, the arid autonomous region is the largest territory in China, spanning over one-sixth of the second largest continent in the world. It’s also a long journey in terms of the cultural shift the traveler will experience especially when one spends a whole day in its street markets. And conversely, considering its proximity to central Asia, sharing borders with an astonishing eight other nations, one wouldn’t believe that Xinjiang is the People’s Republic’s least touristed province. But it is this solitude in fact that makes the provincial desert a distinct oasis in Asia.
Not far from the scalding sands of the Tarim Basin is the region’s political and commercial center, Kashgar. What Marco Polo called Cascar and the Han now refer to as Kashi the Asian outpost has fashioned itself over the centuries into one of the Silk Road’s most vital international crossroads linking China with northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan by way of the Karakorum Highway. As such, Kashgar more closely resembles the Mid-East than the Han culture we are familiar with; the city is a veritable tapestry of central Asian cultures, as reflected in its massive weekly bazaar. Located in the Kona Sheher old town, the famous Sunday market is, like all things Xinjiang, China’s largest.
Approaching the market district, one is immediately beset by a commingled scent of smoke and fruit. If China is famous for its cuisine, then Xinjiang is responsible for half of its success. Lamb kabob roasted throughout the day over sizzling coals against an undulating landscape of spicy lamian noodles topped with peppers, tomatoes and garlic, goat’s head soup, deep-fried fish and yellow mountains of pilaf rice, all washed down with boiling vats of satiating cinnamon tea.
There may not be as much bread in the whole of China as there is in Kashgar and one is oft tempted by stacks of lightly seasoned nan or pyramids of sesame seed bagels fresh out of the oven. Scarlet slices of watermelon, Xinjiang’s most abundant fruit and pink peaches blushing like a child’s cheeks are the perfect desert dessert, with market patrons walking away with comically dripping chins.
Gorged on the regional fare, one must then dodge the merchant calls of "kilinglar!" (Turkish for "come!") while browsing the endless displays of useful household wares, useless souvenirs (genie lamp anyone?), outdated electronics, knockoff clothing and eye-catching textiles, the latter being the most popular among the women of Kashgar. It’s quite a sight to see a Muslim lady shrouded in an hijab headscarf burrowing through hills of shimmering silk and other fine fabrics to further veil herself in.
Xinjiang’s predominant nationality, the Uyghurs, flavor the region with both their unique Turkish-influenced culture and devout religious faith. With more then twelve million Muslims in China, Xinjiang naturally accounts for over half the national total. Kashar’s Id Kah is the largest mosque in the People’s Republic; the city literally comes to a halt five times a day when the faithful respond to the calling of the adhan and rush to mosque for a congregational series of Mecca-facing prostrations and Islamic prayer. Half an hour later, the city is again screaming with activity and commerce.
Despite the traditional lifestyle of the Uyghurs, Kashgar has developed itself over the years into a white-tiled mercantile metropolis, where even the famed weekly bazaar is now held in a modernized indoor facility of thousands of identical stalls. Though still quite a spectacular site, this refinement has left many enthusiasts desiring something a bit more...authentic. Not to be discouraged, the answer to anyone dissatisfied by the comparatively tamer and more contemporary Kashgar is Xinjiang’s lesser known, yet arguably more impressive souk in Hetian, a day’s scenic drive south along the lethally hot Taklamakan, the second largest desert in the world. The shaded, tree-lined respite is renowned throughout China for its jade, silk and carpets – the three treasures of Hotan (as the Uyghurs spell it), which translates into "place that abounds in jade".
Indeed the first site anyone will happen upon at the Hetian marketplace is an entire street of jade dealers, either from storefronts, on blankets spread out on the ground, in the trunks of cars, or out of their pant pockets. The rabid riots of precious stone peddlers and prospective buyers haggling in their Turkish tongue over every size and color of jade imaginable add to the chaos that is only the beginning of Hetian’s bazaar. Extending countless kilometers in all four directions, the traffic-stopping market literally takes over the city streets; ass-drawn carriages contending with big bad buses and motorcycle taxis navigating through scores of preoccupied people. An entire boulevard of fragrant fruits and prismatic vegetables intersects an avenue lush with carpets and rugs, which is then separated by the canals of the Hotan River.
Beyond the medieval blacksmiths pounding on their anvils asphalt soon turns to dust. Livestock both alive and freshly slaughtered trample the dirt or turn it into crimson mud, and baying horses, camels, mules and bulls excrete freely onto the ground while being industriously inspected by interested human parties. To a pulsating background score of 200 beat per minute Arabic tabla drums and the two-stringed dutar, the bizarre bazaar dramatically segues into heaps of faux jewelry, henna hair dye and cheap cosmetics ravaged by young, olive-skinned women wearing heavy black eyeliner who prefer neck and arm-revealing (gasp!) western fashion to their more conservatively concealed counterparts. Meanwhile the local men get a shave and their head scalped by an outdoor barber or go browsing for a new knife or an embroidered dopi cap.
The blazing desert climate begins to cool at sunset, which in the summer months is about 11pm, and the mad market in Hetian winds down. Beggars seek those last few alms, exhausted vendors relax with a few chapters of the Qur’an, and the rest of us return home to look through our treasures.
