“Call No Man Happy . . .”
Took a short break from the Waterlogged line because digital art is really hard. Going back to ink was a wonder. I have never felt better while making comics. This is just more fuel to the fire that says I will go wholesale back into traditional media once the Waterlogged thing blows over. At least for a while.
Also, I keep a journal of my dreams. Often after returning to the things I have written, I am unable to tell what they mean or what happened. Here are a few excerpts:
- Government secrets, underground, locked doors, almost caught, soldiers, hiding, guns, stealth, invisibility, experiment kids, giant warehouses, huge fireworks, wooden busts, friendly guy.
- Party, David Blaine string performer, like to hit people. Dance w/o me.
- Arcades, deep underground, Japan, bar in pipes, new ocean, SEWER??? DRAIN?? Jpn twins, wte, glb or glg, charges.
- University, breakfast, low wage, startup, coffee madame.
- Rat, flesh peels back, a person comes out.
- Endless towers, grey stone, spirals. Lights = crystals on poles or floating. Burn black cliffs.
- PAN ON HEAD!
- Hide in the ceiling = rain.
- Subjective motion/object = throwing hand.
- Stop dieing on my porch!
- Dad handicapped.
- 12 things that I hate, Sakura and Satan, tied up, lonely process, sister = Iron Man.
- Castle under siege, blue light, infection, crazy frog, bad techno.
- NEED TIME TO SIGN (not far to house).

PAN ON HEAD.
This is the Erik who was in your art class and then apparently fell through a hole in the earth, never to be seen again.
They thought they could contain me, down there in the depths of the earth, eating, drinking, breathing, thinking the raw stuff of the planet.
But there was one thing they didn’t count on, one thing they could never have suspected.
Pokemon.

I have one of those. My notes are about as cryptic. The scary thing is, I actually understand all of them, and that makes them even more wacky.
Most of my dreams aren’t very interesting. But sometimes, if I’m lucky, I dream about the end of the world.
One of these nights I hope to dream about the beginning.
Also, Re:dA comments, the closer one is to either buttercup festival or the sky, the better.

Man, this is a seriously interesting comic. I’ll be checking back.
I love this page in particular, I think it’s got a deep message. Also, I love the style of your inking - I love the digital pages to, and I know that you spend a lot of time on those, but I just really like the feeling that the inks give the reader. Awesome stuff.

Hmmm . . . Dad handicapped. Not liking that one. Good thing dreams don’t usually come true.
