Hey there Sports Fans! Al here with the latest:
I’m not talking about time travel - yet! I’m still working on that. Probably something closer to Donnie Darko.
And I’m not talking about the time change either.
So, people are ramping up spikes - or at least that my opinion anyway from what I am hearing BUT WHAT does that have to do with art?
Honestly, absolutely nothing. Just wanted to say it.
But really, I am going to focus and try to get the remainder of Richard Parker. There I think that I have 5 panels I have left to work on to finish off the book, the story, and everything. And then it's a change-up in the focus of the book and the upcoming show. Hard work first, get the creative part locked down and hi res scanned.
Collate them into a Large PDF format.
Send out a couple of dummy copies to a few people to look over and see if there are any gaps that I am missing in the story and then it's off to the races to find someone who wants to take this monster on OR crowdfund this beast and take it across the ocean (both of them). And then see what happens.
If anything. I have hope because I know that my scratchboard work is very good and yes, I just patted myself on the back but it was worth it. If I can in a small show sell a chunk of my art both original and prints then a collection of the work on one topic should do well.
So that is happening.
And then there delving into the podcasting deal that I brought up this week. That is not just talk, it is something that had been on my mind just like it was when I started thinking about getting into electrical work and a license because there weren't a lot of guys who were doing it or had been trained as part of their job service.
But because I love comic books and mediums of the past. I am not so much into the modern stuff that is coming out. I think Doom was about the most interesting that I have been reading. Though my favorite villain that I have yet to see really done justice is Kang the Conqueror. A time-traveling world despot. I think that is what the world needs right now to unite. One secular focus. My God, what we could do if we all came together. A podcast I think could be really fun. I can't think of another topic that other than talking about trek. There I said it. "It always comes back to trek."
…and on top of that…
There are also the short stories that I have been working off and on again. my version of the future in a story concept called Star Trek Nomad. I have been working out the plot for the story and talking them out loud and soon to work it into a draft of some kind either it being a comic or a novelization. The point of the matter is that the current trek that is out there sucks. I just don’t like murder trek. There isn’t any theoretical science to explore or the morals that intelligent beings have with one another. Even the concept of time travel is messed up. And there are so many things you could explore by asking questions. Again Star Trek is about exploration both of the adventure outside and the struggle to be better inside. This all stems from a response that I had to one of those YouTubers named Robert Meyer Burnett https://youtu.be/_-ckM1fMrKw . At 27min. 15sec in Is a letter that I sent in that started this off. His response to my letter gave me the jumping point to write a story. And that story is still evolving.
