 7/29/10 – More Changes I somehow already forgot about the advantages of archiving on Facebook. So “Guinea Something Good” will be archived there from now on! One advantage: I can actually make the comics the size I want them to be! Another advantage: you can actually share them easily. So please, share away! Also, inherent comment system. 7/24/10 - Return of the Blog! I'd like to have this site be a place of activity again. Hence the redesign, the more regularly updated mini-comic, and, now, this blog. There are many things to discuss. It's simply a question of what to start with. I am currently in the process of writing the next storyline. It occurred to me that I want something different for the next story I write. The one I'm drawing now has been outlined, but I began drawing before it was completely scripted out. It still isn't completely scripted out. I want my next storyline's script to be finished, done, complete before I draw a single panel. For that to work, I realized that I needed to start right away. I have to be done with the script before I'm done drawing the storyline I'm doing right now. I'm experimenting with it right now. I have the luxury of experimenting with it. If the storyline I'm updating now has been influenced by Dostoevsky, the storyline I'm working on is to be influenced by existentialism in general. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to read after Dostoevsky. My love of his literature paralyzed me. I tried to read other classics, but couldn't get through them. There was something missing. But I wasn't reading Dostoevsky because it was a “classic.” I was reading it because it was existential in nature. The other day I read “the Stranger.” That's when this realization dawned on me. The irony is that Camus wasn't an existentialist. But he is a response to it, and that makes him all the more interesting to me. I've almost finished reading “the Myth of Sisyphus and other Essays.” I can't decide whether I agree with it entirely, or reject it entirely. It seems there is no in-between. The struggle I'm having right now is how serious am I allowing myself to be in this next storyline? But I have time to work that out. I can write the entire script and decide it's not what I want. That's the luxury I've given myself. I have more to say. I'll talk about life, perhaps, in my next entry. For now, this is as good an introduction as any. |
