I love that you have an actual cravat - the closest I ever got was to wear a spotted scarf under a shirt and it looked pretty cravat-ey. Still not quite the same?
Haha, retreating to Disney movies sounds like a solid strategy to me (do you have a favourite? I guess that's kind of like asking what people's favourite movie in general is - how do you even answer that?). I just tend not to follow news and interviews and stuff like that unless there's something particularly noteworthy happening. I feel best if my knowledge of the people in question is intentionally hazy and made up. I don't like thinking that I know them too well, I feel weird.
You should totally send that drawing to Gerard! I don't think it needs colour - I think it's amazing and awesome, and the world would be a sadder place if it doesn't get to fulfill its intended purpose. It's seriously rad as.
Although I totally get having a meltdown over colouring and so on....I have had my share of meltdowns and it rather sucks. Although mine are kind of quiet and introspective, but still, however they work they're hardly fun. But I really think that it's a lovely artwork.
And I know exactly what you mean on colour, although hilariously I have the opposite problem, and everything looks wishy washy and washed out, with no contrast or emphasis. I end up throwing a layers level on everything in photoshop in an attempt to add contrast. And OH YES, I know what you mean about bs'ing... it's so depressing. Oh well. My solution is generally to look for a reference pic, and drive myself mental trying to get it right. :D
Or I tend to practice video game avoidance - if I spend some time trying to hone my skills in Starcraft 2, I can even attempt to convince myself I'm doing something productive. Almost.
Of course, I totally don't mind having you on twitter, it's great! I've been a little quiet on twitter of late, but I go through swings of posting not much, then a fair bit, so I'm sure it'll swing around again.
