Just a taste


The past few weeks have managed to provide some personal challenges that left me in a space of using the emotional energy for a creative purpose. The third draft of the prologue has been completed and Tanna has once again managed to amaze me with her understanding of what I am looking for in panel. Two pages worth of rough page layouts has me curious to see what the revisions I have written will inspire in her. Here is a taste of what you might see in the prelude to our epic adventure. Until the next episode, "be excellent to one another" after all, we are all we've got!

Every little step

The sun is slowly burning through a light layer of fog here in the Bay Area as I start another morning. It feels a lot like the process of creating this project. Fingers of light punching through the veil that keeps me from reaching the other side of seeing this project into reality. As Tanna Tucker works on initial sketches, I've just finished the second draft of the series prelude which will be posted on our website once we go live. Finding the other stories that lie in the nooks and crannies of this overall arc is fascinating and shows me just how much things like this possess a life of their own on some level. We just have to slow down sometimes to hear what they have to say outside of the dialog we are holding with it. It is in those moments of silence that they sometimes initiate a totally different conversation.
From a wider perspective, thoughts turn towards the process of raising funding, promotion, distribution, getting the word out that the fog is soon to burn away and reveal the full magnificence of the sun that shines on the other side. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open, things are getting ready to kick into high gear! Every little step takes this project closer to being. Stay tuned....
