Data Sheet: d.

NAME: d. emerson eddy
BIRTHPLACE: Hamilton, Ontario
AMBITIONS: makes you look pretty ugly.  So does aggression.  You bring out the base nature of your animal and wind up looking like some puffed up monkey.  I much prefer perseverence, dedication and devotion.  ...and in response to those; to do great work.
GREAT COMICS:  Sandman, Promethea, Y - The Last Man, All Star Superman, off the top of my head.  Maus, From Hell, Stray Toasters, Cages.
FAMILY LIFE: um...yeah.
FAVORITE FOOD:  Depends on the day.  Right now, it's a peppercorn steak marinated in a red wine sauce with sauteed mushrooms and onions, with a side of asparagus and a creamy pepperjack mash.  Topped off with a glass of Cecchi's chianti.  Yesterday, it was a bag of Smartfood and Hot Rods.  The day before, it was avacadoes, homous and pita.
WHAT I LIKE IN COMICS:  Honesty.  Good old-fashioned storytelling.  Pretty pictures that adhere to some sort of layout that show that the artist was actually thinking and not just throwing images at the page.
WHAT I DISLIKE IN COMICS:  Cookie-cutter comics with nothing to say.  Hyperbole.
FAVORITE CREATORS:  Neil Gaiman.  Alan Moore.  Mike Mignola.  Bill Sienkiewicz.  Walt Simonson.  Dave McKean.  Cameron Stewart.  Eddie Campbell.  Seth.  Grant Morrison.  P. Craig Russell.  Jill Thompson.  JH Williams III.  Garth Ennis.  Steve Dillon.  Dave Gibbons.  Mike Carey.  Eduardo Risso.  Gabriel Ba.  Fabio Moon.  I could probably keep going, so I'll just leave it at that.
FAVORITE MUSICIANS: David Bowie.  NIN.  Peter Gabriel.  The Cure.  Tool.  Radiohead.  Tori Amos.  Muse.  The Host.  REM.  Isis.  Amorphis.  Opeth.  Ulver.  Nick Cave.  Anything Mike Patton touches.  My Chemical Romance.  Arcturus.  Synaesthesia.  Ryan Adams.  Alexisonfire.
FAVORITE MOVIES: The Last Temptation of Christ.  The Fountain.  Sunshine.  Mirrormask.  Radioland Murders.  The Third Man.  M.

IDEAL EVENING: Curled up next to the fireplace, reading.
