Nothing New

So far the school year is off with a little bit of a bang, nothing major though. Presenting work in two of my classes was a little underwhelming with almost no feedback whatsoever, not even murmurs of dislike. Oh well, I can't let myself fall victim to what I suffered from two quarters ago where I let the opinions of others push me to be, or rather draw, as someone I'm not. I supposed I just got spoiled by summer quarter where everyone, for the most part mind you, seemed to be just a little bit friendlier. I guess it was because everyone there for summer quarter was either just trying to get the hell out of school and Savannah, or just cared more about the whole school-time process. I don't know.

I'm working on several things right now, with other projects going to the back-burner in favor of school work. I've begun writing the script for "All I Want is a Brother," going through the outlining of the story and trying to get the major plot points laid out. My project for Alternative/Experimental comics is going through the sketch routine. I'm drawing an interpretation of the Butthole Surfer's song "Whatever (I had a Dream)" that looks to be, well, pornographic if nothing else. The artist whose style I was supposed to mimic for the piece was a little fucked up to say the least, an artist by the name of Harry Clarke. His illustrations for Faust are unbelievable and I encourage everyone to check them out, regardless of how deranged they may be.

Also, though I'm not sure if it will come into fruition, I'm plotting a short, 10 page, story about a kid exploring the tombs of the Vatican. Since my professor for the class is so open-minded, I'm going to see if I can convince her to let me do the comic as opposed to writing a journal or the 8 page paper. We'll see if she allows it!

Namaste,

Jon Jones
