The Notorious Bettie Page
I haven't seen this movie yet. I hadn’t even heard of it until last Friday.
I’ve heard of Bettie Page of course. Who hasn’t by now?
But like a lot of people my age I didn’t know anything about her until Dave Stevens started doing the Rocketeer at Pacific Comics in the ’80’s.
Dave (and Bettie) really influenced my comic style back then. They still do I suppose. You know I’d actually like to draw or ink comics again. I kinda miss it. I suppose that’s why I’m even mentioning this movie. A little nostalgia is a good thing now and again.
I’m interested in seeing the movie, but lately, I tend to see most movies on DVD. I just never seem to have any time to go to movies anymore.
This is my last week of full time at work. I’m pretty sure things are lining up pretty well for my leap back into freelance. I’m hoping that this will allow me more time to start painting, drawing, doing my own thing again.
We’ll see…
