just got this email from the library confirming my reservation of house of leaves is finally available and i can't get over their decision to attribute it to the fictional made up author from the book instead of the actual guy who wrote it

picture that. in your dreams.

at long last: the house of leaves poster! I love this book so much. it is such a fucking pain in the ass to read at times but it's so so worth it.

notes:

why is fire so hard? why?

those are all my hands... more or less.

spent way too long squinting at blurry photos of hot oil scars for this

if I fucked up the stairs, no I didn't, blame the house

the God quote is my favorite but also wow there are so many killer lines I totally forgot about

johnny truant I love you will navidson I love you zampano you verbose bastard I love you too

i love house of leaves

[haematicmagic]

every Lude/Johnny interaction ever:

Lude: Johnny you stupid whore come to the club with me :D

Johnny, internally: Club. Thats exactly the right word, because the droning cacophany of music, drugs and girls, all beautiful and all terrible at the same time are hitting me like a club, a blunt instrument from the side of the head. Bludgeoning me to death. Fuck. fuck. I am falling apart, like a vase hit by a baseball bat, or maybe a club.

Johnny, externally: ok Lude: YAY

what's house of leaves?

the short version is, it's a book about a book about a book about a book about a movie that never existed about a house that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. it is probably the single most famous/notorious existing work of "ergodic fiction", meaning basically fiction which exists in such a complex relationship with its medium that it takes nontrivial effort just to consume, meaning uhhhh a lot of it looks like this,

or worse!

it's like, fifty percent an extremely high-effort mockery of modern academia, it's often doing its active best to be completely incomprehensible to you, its and i cannot emphasize this enough A Space With A Beast In It. its awfully dear to my heart also. or as mark z danielewsky who wrote it puts it:

"I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right.

hi johnny truant hiiiiiiii

sketch + explanations under break

^ sketch/lineart since you cant really see it in the actual drawing lol.

afaik, theres no real concrete description of what he looks like (aside from very vague stuff + his arm scars), so i just made some shit up based off his lifestyle lmfao.

i reallyyyyy wanted to make the golden ratio blue to match the house, but it just didnt look good no matter how i twisted it around - dark blue just didnt pop.

im happy with this in the end, though - i think i made the vision work.

i love johnny too, his footnotes were a breath of fresh air after the Horror bits of the navidson record. though i am taking him at a bit face value, i.e. assuming johnny is like a real person and kind of just ignoring some more creative theories on his identity.

happy late soul punk day! this took like 4-5 days to finish and while i'm not 100% satisfied with the end result i'm just glad i managed to finish it.
