Man of the Mountain


Wednesday, September 23, 2009

One of my roommate’s last name is Horak, which sounds like a Stan Lee monster name, but is actually Czech for Man of the Mountain. (Which seems really long for two syllables – maybe Mountain Man just has too much of a negative connotation?) Last week in drawing class we went to a poet’s house and drew Mt. Ascutney, which is a mountain way bigger than the wimpy little Green “Mountain”s. This week we went up it. In between, I made this comic.
