Added 1 new A* page:Tried a sketch while burning dinner, I think it ended up being a little too ambitious for a 15-minute thing; may have to try this subject again with more sleep and a different approach:

If you have Netflix streaming, one of the movies leaving the service at the start of March is Peter Bogdanovich's Paper Moon, a story of a con man and the young girl who might be his daughter who almost out-cons him so she can stay with him, set during the Great Depression. It's a wonderful character and period piece, with a fairly unique style of 70s minimalism taking on the 1930s, and in black and white, even. It's only available for another two days or so, so check it out if you get a chance, you might enjoy it.
 
(Interesting to read on the Wikipedia page that it was filmed through a red filter--I guess since that blocks the more energetic parts of the visible spectrum, it's what gave the final black and white version its finer gradations of mid-tones--lots of very nice mid-grays that aren't washed out by intense whites like they might have been if it had been filmed unfiltered.)
