Classes

Classes are starting and although at this time of year I feel I could do without, it'll be great. Welcome old students (open university) welcome new students ( minor subject). And congrats to all my former students that have gotten their book (started at the class) out during the last semester. Excelsior!

Little by little

Issue...what...27 (?) has started well. Should be done before end of this month. I have some other stuff I need to do at the same time so it hasn't been quite as efficient as it could've been. It's an issue that concludes the themes of part 3 of the book. Issue 28 will then be the silent final issue of part 3.

Discouraging

Discouraging: very few people seem to be interested in buying Läskimooses

Encouraging: those who do, seem to like it a lot.

I honestly feel I'm onto something. Or is it just me?

Right

Now all I have to do is fill in the blanks.

Add 23 or so

Where do these superhero ideas come from?

During these 3 yrs with Läskimooses I've come of with several spin off ideas. Some of these could be classified under "superhero related ideas". In most cases these are no more than a name of the main character. But they are all set in the Läskimooses world. And so far only I know what this Läskimooses world really is.

Issue 27?

Occasionally

Occasionally I draw straight lines all day long

Issue 26 flat

Läskimooses spin-offs?

Oh yeah

issue 26 just about finished. Cover is a mess and I haven't even started the club page, but: on monday. And on tuesday I start issue 27, which is the penultimate issue of chapter three of the book.

I have this idea...

Dream

I dreamt that the manufacture of essdee scraperboard had been discontinued due to that it had proven hazardous to health. A good reminder that i need to get myself four new boxes in order to make it last til the end of Läskimooses.

Pieces

On the beach while listing the forthcoming issues a couple of pieces fall in their places. This seems to be the way the story evolves. I have parts of the story  lined up but dont know exactly their rightful place until something starts to feel right. In the end will the story be as I want it to be? Perhaps. I do have some questions concerning the past issues that I might want to tamper with, but eventually  it might be less than I felt when I was only starting.

800€

Book was called the Black Planet

If

It's probably too much to ask, but the book could use some subscribers. This thing should be kept going on for another 3 years one way or another. Or... Sometimes I get this feeling that I'm on the right track and then on other times... I had this follow up for Silvia Regina planned and started and Läskimooses was supposed to be a diversion to it. But it turned out to be something a bit different. Maybe i just should've stuck with my old ways. Hard to say, the jury is still out.

This time

This time of the year the Textmark markers that I'm using suddenly start acting up. Don't know if it's the humidity or the heat, but it's trouble all day long.

Adorno spilling the beans to the Man

A rare print

I'm selling a couple of these. My first woodcut.

Succesful

I don't think the day was succesful. After a weeks break this is usually how it goes. Still, I managed to finish 3 panels and I'm a bit closer to the end. Maybe that is good then.

Haha

With every second finished issue I come up with an unplanned extra one. So tell me, when will this book be finished. Haha.

Way

I'd like to find a way to make me less dependant of grants. For this purpose I'm making an effort to sell some older pieces. I'm not holding my breath.

Well one solution would be to get more subscriptions...5000 more. Not likely. Even 500 seems impossible.

I wouldn't want to take a break from Läskimooses, but...I don't know. Ah, now there's not much I can do. Maybe something will come up as it usually does.

Really really funny

What is really funny is that every second month or maybe every third I come up with something  meaningful that I want to add to the story, and in most cases I do. The downside is that with every twist and turn I have to add ...an issue or half of an issue. And this will lead to 1500 pages. No. I'd like to keep this below 1200. And for many reasons. One is that in order to go to 1500 I would need a lot more subscribers OR a BIG grant.

Interest

What interests me is to maybe finish this book and then finalize it. Three years remaining of the project and every time I take a break it's always time wasted.
So far it has been a year of promises and that's all. Wouldn't mind something actually happening.

Despair

One day this project will be finished, but then it'll be over 1000 pages. And for what purpose? I hope it'll be revealed to me before the end.

Handed

Just handed over the two finished issues to my publisher. Now what i'd like to do is to letter the next issue AND draw maybe three maybe five before summer holidays.
I also got a handful of collages part of which I had totally forgotten. And just about the right moment since two of them fit exactly to the fortcoming issues. I tend to do the collages several at the same time and then what happens i'm in danger of forgetting what exactly I have already done.
Also with one of my friends I had a good conversation of among other things landscape, Beckett and writing.

Yes

Only the corrections to the texts remain and the issues 24 & 25 are done. Mmm...not bad. Will go through the script of issue 26 tonight and if everything goes alright I will letter it tomorrow. After that a break for the summer... More or less. Some occasional days at the studio. And

Yikes

Tomorrow I should get Silvia Regina by UPS...

Ok, so...

Struggling to get issue 25 finished in 2 days. Woke up at 2 am partly because this feel that i need to do something to the text. Now that i'm moving along to part four would the writing require some extra...thing. More power...
But part three still needs 3 more issues so there's no actual rush, yet.

Ambitions

One of my bigger ambitions is starting a school of comics. I don't think this will actually ever happen, but already twice I've made plans for a curriculum. Lots of basic drawing and writing, an in house offset printing machine...
Wpuld be fun though.

Adorno 2.0

Issue 25 spread out

And it looks like 5 pages still to do

Note to oneself

Absraction is probably the thing I'm going for in this book. Define abstraction.

Getting there

Issue 25 is in a pretty good shape. 7 pages I need to do and then work on the text just a bit and then it's done. Oh, except for the cover. Still, there's a good chance this baby is all done before 6th of June. It has been good to do this kind of an issue for a change... What kind? Sort of...abstract...or... You'll see.
