Im bleeding from the ears here Pacino!
Been working hard on various projects and Ive given at a 100% to each.
My main worry is being watered down, you know? Stretched too thin?
I dont want that. I dont want to be renaissance guy; I draw, I paint, I direct, I bullfight!
Fuck that.
I just have ideas I want to see come fruition in some way. I dont really mean like Up in lights kind of shit,
Im fine if I have a final product I can show my friends, but sometimes I feel like Im giving birth to full
grown bull-elephant with some of these, and when you see the path that it takes to meet the end, you
cant help but feel a little daunted.
Then, like some kind of weird Pavlovian beast, I seem to relish it.
I think its not the end or the beginning but the actual journey I dig, The whole process of realizing something, and
giving it life, the give and take, man, I love it. Even if in the end, if it's just burned onto a CD and put on the pile of
ideas I have in the filing cabinet next to me, Im sort of satisfied.
Of course, if I ever want to turn a coin out of this ridiculous trek Ill have to figure out how to get it there too.
Oh well, one more thing to go I guess.
Oscar Smith: Recently did 3 pages, I fucking hated. I almost tore them up but decided otherwise and just put them to the side to remind of what NOT to do on this project. It was a bit of a setback, and considering all the bullshit with the hurricane(s) and such (dont let me get started!) I really feel like I need to dig down deep into this project. The cover for issue 2 is already being worked, and the writer is back form Vacation working the script. Oy.
Fugly: Scrapped the whole bloody story. I didnt believe it. Men throwing city buses at each other were fine, but the plot? Fuck that. Selling me Bushs International Policy is more believable. No, I decided to scrap the original draft and come back with a whole new angle. No fucking heroes, no redemption, fuck that, this blood for blood, by the gallons.
Medieval High: Second script done, looking for a new artist. Still think this could really fucking fly If I can pin somebody down to it. But shit knows how that goes. So working on the general overview of the comics and assessing artist.
Hangover: The basic beginning and plot are there but this book seems to breath more life to itself as I work on it, so Im having to bust my ass and play catch up with all the ideas. Little by little. Im thinking of making it my rotography book that I always wanted to do, but have to see the logistics of that.
Mars: Working on the script but research recently bared some amazing gorgeous fruit; so many real angels of myth and theology have been presented to me that fit only too well into my work, so Im doing what I can to fit this together and give stuff over to the artist to feed on. It labor intensive but been amazingly eye opening. Love this project the most right now.
VIGIL: A little slow, Im working myself through my own script and have been doing bits of work on it here, adding pages taking out certain dialogue, stretching things. Its my baby, so I feel I can do whatever the fuck I want. But I do have a script and notes to go through, and really have the series on the right track at least for the next 6 months. SO now just to focus on the art, little by little.
Also have some illustration and even some commission work to do, so my plate is full. Though I have to say while doing this I have found time to get into little things in between: Jim Jarmusch Films, Kurt Vonnegut (Again) my website (added illustration stuff on there) and Zine making. So yeah my mind has been a buzz as of late.
Dane Cook is also on a constant daily base touch: I hear the jokes all the time.
