Things have slowed down for me, so this is the time I concentrate on my
own projects. One major one is a comic book/magazine I hope to get up
and running by the end of the year. I want it the format of it to be
similar to the old 70's
Warren Magazines such as
CREEPY, EERIE & VAMPIRELLA,
but have all the stories and characters intertwined into one universal
storyline. The bummer part of all this is that 1) No one buys magazines
anymore 2) All the cool titles for magazines such as this have been
taken 3) I'm not the greatest writer in the world(I can come up with
characters & concepts, but my actual writing skills are kind of
weak).
Yet, who cares. I'm going to go on with it anyways. Trying to
second guess an audience, and even worse, myself, I would never get
anything done. So I am going to go forth with it anywhoo. It reminds me
of myself back in the mid 1980's when I was putting together a band. I
wasn't the greatest musician or singer, I had no idea how the business
worked and I lived in an area that didn't quite give a hoot about
original music, yet I did it anyways. We never hit the big time, barely
made a dime, but it did create some of the greatest times in my life(and
a few awesome tunes I still rock out to to this day).
If you can't do it right-Do it anyways.
I've
got a few storylines to flesh out, but I've pretty much got the "cast"
figured out who I want in the book. Late at night, while trying to get
to sleep, is when the stories & visuals seep into my noggin', and
the daytime is for sketchin' up the ideas & characters. So, I
thought I share some of them and some other loosely sketched concepts
and stuff I scratch into my sketchbooks. Dig it!
POPPET and her cauldron of ghastly delights.
