The angriest Irish person on St.Patrick's Day
Here's a three page spread from my graphic novel that I've been working on for the last few days. I have wasted nearly an hour today scanning in these pages, then the crappy computer crashed and I lost all of it. Photoshop is having a hissy fit so I can't even start all over again. The scanner is rubbish anyway, all the settings are messed up and the glass is always covered in dirt. This place sucks! And to make me even angrier, this new building we're in has the worst heating system. It's permantently way too hot. It gets worse as the day goes on because I 'm on the top floor which seems to accumulate all the heat from the rest of the building. Grrr!!! You can't even open the windows and idiot students keep using spray mount. Duh, 'use in a well ventilated area', it's a warning not a suggestion. Plus, the lights go off if there is no movement in the room. Nice idea, except a room full of people sitting at desks drawing doesn't lead to frequent movement, so the lights keep going off.
It's St.Patricks day, I should be celebrating, but instead I'm getting very angry. Why doesn't anything work here? Argghh.
I'm quite happy with how this page turned out:
Now if I could just scan the bloody thing.

hi leonie,
what scanner are you using? i use a mustek and i've found it keeps a copy in a program folder, you may be able to recover the artwork that way.

Hey Baz,
I think it's an Epson scanner, I have to use the one at the university because it is A3 and I only have an A4 one at home. So I can't really do much about the settings and the technicians are very elusive!
Mustek, eh? I'll keep that in mind, I may have to buy my own scanner at this rate.
