So, where is this bring us to with any relevance... well, I haven't posted any of the sketches of the book that I promised I would because I accidentally left all my work at a friends house when I was working on with her and since, I haven't been able to get to her place to get them back (she lives far away and I am no longer able to use a car). Therefore, this leaves me with trying to figure out how to get them back.
Meanwhile however, I have been working on some other pieces with a friend on revisiting some stories and working on the glitches and gooey work that needs the attention for revamping and editing. I'm hoping to finish this in the next few weeks, and I will be very happy to say that there should be my three stories finally finalized with not much more need for attention on the writing part (maybe in the future some little things here and there). So, more on that when the time comes.
Finally, I'd like to share with you a new project that I'll be working on (this one probably for a real long time). The idea is that this is going to be a full story (book) with many chapters and
including a world of crazy and interesting phenomenons, places, characters and a glimpse of what really goes on in my head. This is going to be a very challenging project for me for a few reasons: first the writing will take a long time as I am working out how to just get some of the ideas out. Second, I'm working on a style that will be more appropriate and fitting to this type of work (I'm going to move away from the cartoony look and try out a bit more illustrative with an older style look). Actually, I'm playing with Chris Riddel's line work and hoping to develop the style from there. So, I've thrown in here a sketch of Twig, a character from Chris, and would like to introduce you to my newest character (first sketches), Alice Portales (should rhyme).
This story might have many parallel's to the Alice in Wonderland story, however, I'm not sure yet what exactly that means. The idea came to me about trying to write a story about 'reality' and identifying or finding its clarity. This is much more difficult than I thought it would be, however, I do have many interesting thoughts and ideas that I'd like to find a way onto pages and see where this little girl might go. So, for those who are interested in participating with me on this voyage, please feel free to share with me any ideas, thoughts, experiences, view points, critiques, or whatever you might feel up to about your own beliefs of 'reality'. (Some quick thoughts if you may: What is reality? What is real vs. what is not? How can we capture what it is or is it something not meant to be? Who are we? What makes us us? Basically, try this one out: if you are the only one on this earth that happens to know yourself the best (thoughts, feelings, vices, dreams, nightmares, secrets - that includes skeletons in your closest!, traumas, etc.) how good do you really know yourself? If you find that this is not as easy as you think, if you are the only one who should know yourself the best, and you really don't, than what can you say that you really do know?)
