Gutters for veins, Ink for blood
I have decided to scale back on the amount of old posts that will be deleted. I still want to prune the bush a bit and take out about 25% of older articles that are no longer relevant or not representative of my best work. What I am going to do this August is take about a week to go through my older articles by going over one category a day and taking out the not so good ones. It is an issue that comes up when you try to write something new every day. It is more like a newspaper than a magazine but old newspaper articles are quick to enter the recycle bin.
I am still sketching away and I am gaining gradual confidence as to my comic abilities. I think it is going to be one of those things that once I finally get to drawing the comic every week that it will improve. In high school I read the legendary animator Chuck Jones's biography Chuck Amuck. In it he says that an old art teacher told him that there are at least a thousand bad drawing in each of us. Once we get them out the better off we will all be.
I am going to be copyright my character designs for my main characters just because it only costs twenty bucks and I sort of remember how to fill out the copyright forms. I mean I do think that the Creative Common licenses is a cool concept but I would not want some jerk off selling bootleg t-shirts but perhaps I am getting ahead of myself.
I have about twenty comics written and I think they are funny. I am being a bit careful at who I show the scripts to because I don't want to dilute my original idea for that particular strip. For the rest of the week I am going to be working on figure drawings. I tend to draw hands to big and need to work on my proportions. A well that is why I gave myself a month to work on this comic.
