Vto-ed at 8:45 tonight, rented the first 6 Star Trek Films, watched the first two. The first seemed like a Star Trek attempt at being 2001: a space odyssey…however, I enjoyed it’s slow pace and interesting twist. Wrath of Kahn is alot like the Warriors, but in space, and not at all…
I received my sketchbook today for the Sketchbook Project through Art House co-op…maybe i’ll finish this one…so I’m going to start doing daily drawings in order to fill it, even though the deadline is in like January or something…i plan to use more transparency film, so we’ll see a rise in that again…this will have a more refined theme than previous work, which has been more exploratory in nature. It may follow my character through his education on the world. If it bleeds into November I’ll be ending it with the next series of work (Before the Altar, Laid Rest a Monster) and may chronicle the death of Havoc.
I recently discovered a collaborative work by James Lee Byars and writer John Brockman where they wrote a novel and eventually just edited it down to one sentence on 100 pages. Some of the sentences are excellent and profound, while others lack context or refer to characters that don’t exist. However, the use of the pronoun He is prevalent and almost used in a godly or prophetic manner. There’s also a quip about philosophers and aching teeth that I was quite fond of as my wisdom teeth have been causing me much pain. But anyway, it remains thumb tacked to my wall along with a billion other things.
Back to my work…I need to start reeling in on some ideas…too much chaos, too many dark alleyways that I skipped over because the Blimpies was still open…too many ideas is making it really hard for me to focus on one…and I feel that my blog is extremely indicative of this, as said months ago by Jon Swindler, “that it was crazy gibberish” (not an actual quote)…sometime in the next 10 years i need to write Hammer Rock, which I started years ago, I think I finally know how to write it, now I just need to hole up in a desert hotel and put pen to paper.
