My main concern is "does it make sense?" I ask a bunch of specific questions under certain pages, trying to see if I managed to make myself clear. If you read it and you don't understand something, say so. Hopefully it is something that is cleared up in the next couple of pages, but I have had this idea in my head for a long time, so maybe I am not able to communicate it well. If you read it and understand it, cool, if not, I'd like to know.
Also, reading it, it seems super cheesy and dumb, but I think it's cause to start the story they have to have all these extreme emotions. After this there are no more extreme emotions for like 2 chapters. Just vague contempt from Abel and uncomfortableness and lots of guilt from Cain.
So, yeah.
Also, I have some pictures.
The Field Museum is so cool. I had to go to the pirate exhibit. They advertised it so well, and I saw Captain Bellamy's treasure, which was lost with his crew in a storm, and it's the only pirate treasure found. It was huge piles of silver coins. I had a real desire to bury myself in it.
Also, in his crew was the youngest known pirate, John King, who was about 9. They found his shoe, and his tibia. They were both so tiny.
I found a picture of his shoe/bone.
It was my favorite thing to see in the exhibit (besides the treasure). It was just so tiny, and made me stomach crunch up when I first saw it.
They also had cool paintings depicting the pirates.
They were painting by this dude Gregory Manchess, who's style I dig.
This was another more fun, actiony one.

Also, they have tons of cool skeletons and taxidermed animals. I kept thinking "what a cool job." Can you imagine taxiderming a tiger? Or a giraffe? I saw all of those, and it seemed so fun.
There are always tourists riding around on segways. I tried to be nice in the beginning, but not they ride around in parks when I am trying to read and relax, and they are loud. Now they piss me off.
These next photos are for Allison.
This is a tour bus that follows me around everywhere. It always sneaks up on me. I turn around and BAM it's there. The tagline is "World's Most Killer Dad" He has red juice dripping down his face.
Also, Allison, you will recognize this. I'd never seen it in a store before, and I had to buy it.
Sorry for all the photos, but since I did post almost 40 images in this post, I felt it was justifiable. Also, these are distractions in case you think the comic is shit so far. It might be, but even if it is, I think it's salvageable. Now that the story is set up I can get to the good part. The long endless build up (which is always my favorite part of a story, and I'm almost always bummed when the build up is over).
do you know why no one commented on this? its because there's no art. not at all. also we all commented on the facebook album.
ReplyDeleteWell, there is art. It is a link to the art.
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you saying photography is not art? Fuck you.
Just kidding. I haven't finished any comic pages since the last page of the chapter yet. I have the next 12 pages penciled out, but I haven't inked that shit out yet.
i can't believe you got sunbeam bread.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I feel morbid every time I eat it. But it reminds me of the scene when they talk about how she wanted to be a boy, and he wanted to be a girl, and it was one of the last times they talked. I loved that scene. I was so sad/happy.
ReplyDeleteI see you have been a big effort to accomplish your dream, I like that! so I'd like to tell you this: Don't throw in the towel even if things seem to be against you, after all, the one who is against things is you, Just go and let it go with the flow
