Long day

Started with teachers meeting and continued with a class of freehand drawing. Honestly...even though I in many ways enjoy teaching and even though I feel that's it's one thing in my career with some certain value, I still maybe probably would quit it if I had the chance. Or would I? Who knows.

Plans

Big plans but no funding. I don't know... I know some people with huge potential in storytelling and I would really love to help them reach their potential. But I'm no business man and I'm not even sure whether there would be any money in it. Still... I would like to push these people to some strange direction.

Looking like this

Magically

14 pages drawn for issue 31. Oh but, wait... Texts are missing.

I have an exhibition coming up in Marseille. Still today the plan is a bit vague...I would like to work there, make it more of an installation. But what will I bring along? This stresses me somewhat, but I seem to be unable to actually sit down and plan. Instead I want to push issue 31 ahead. Next week I really have to start thinking and packing, confirming at least something. Oh well...

It varies

Sometimes I feel it would be good to get a book out in English. Sometimes. But I'm not going to make the move

Finish

Ok, I'll finish this, although I don't know why.

Stupid

Is it just me or are these the most stupid of all times. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of stupid. But without any contrast all this stupidity is a bit overwhelming. Stupid is the new black worn by everyone in all occasions. Give me some variety!

Occasionally

Occasionally it would be good if someone read the story from the beginning and then comment on it. After reading past 5 issues I got this urge that I need to start editing and fine tuning right now. Although this thing in many ways is a work in progress and all sorts of mishaps are welcomed I still would like to have each issue as good as I possibly can. Sometimes this is not the case. Maybe I should start to come up with the solutions for the issues I feel are problematic. Maybe or maybe not. Maybe the nature of this thing is its sketchiness. That nothing is really settled. That there remains this friction. Thart sometimes the thing just doesn't work.

Possible

It's possible that this thing will never be published in book form nor translated to any language. If I can I will finish it by 2020 and then move along. Currently I'm lacking in time. The project should probably stay as it is. Not to become anything else later. Or whatever.

Writing

Slow to start. The supposedly 16 pg issue 31 is turning into a comfirmative 24 pgs. Of mostly dialogue...or monologue. Either one. The two characters have never been seen (or heard) in the same panel. There are times, it seems, the other character hears what the other says, but this is not revealed to the reader directly. Anyways. Writing is slow, but getting there.
