I read Animal Farm by George Orwell, which was excellent (although not as good as 1984). My doodles of Boxer, Napoleon, and the sheep aren't worth putting up, but I liked my drawings of Squealer because I managed to put on paper exactly what I had in my head. Hurrah!
When I read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (which, by the way, was excellent. Neil Gaiman is my hero. <3) I fell in love with the characters of Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar. I loved their relationship with each other, the dynamic between them, and their sadistic nature. They may be my favourite characters in literature, maybe.
This is a scene in the book when Mr. Croup is pissed off at his boss for wanting the two of them to be 'scarecrows' instead of 'assassins', and Mr. Vandemar has got his hand stuck to the wall with knife.

I REALLY need to get around to reading some Neil Gaiman.
He has a lot of stuff kicking around in the local Comic Book Shoppe, actuellement.
Any recommendations for starts?
OOH OOH READ NEVERWHERE. He basically wrote it because he wanted to write for adults the equivalent fantasy story to like, The Narnia series or something. ITS REALLY GOOD. Also, read Coraline. Probably the best children's horror story. Ever.
