I spent the weekend at Silicon 2005 where I has a table in the artist alley and hosted two panels, one on Self-Publishing Comics and one on drawings fantasy characters. Both panels had 5 folks, which is fine, and went off with little incident with the exception of me worrying my pants off. But I had a great time. I would love to do it again, but its not up to me.
Many folks took home copies of Beyond the Great Chimney and I was able to meet artist Phil Ye and writer Peter S. Beagle. Both of them where wonderful and took time to talk to anyone who wanted to.
Of course the reason I have not updated this blog for a while is still the choice if I will re-produce the final parts of the first BTGC story arc as a graphic novel or not. Last week I took the inDesign files I had and combined them with some rough pages I scanned into the computer to get an idea of how the book would look. Think of it as the book equivalent to a animated films story reel. Of course I feel hesitant a bit too, because if I do the Graphic Novel it will be more work then if I was forced to finish it with in a 36-42 page comic book. But of course I have an elaborate story to tell, and I want it to be right for you out there who have enjoyed my first two issues.
So that is where I am, moving forward on a winding road.
As always I would love your opinions and comments as to what you think.
