I tend to have a habit of revisiting stories of mine and wanting to retell them. My main creative focus now is rewriting my Experiencing Technical Difficulties comic book, an unfinished tale I started way back in 1990, into a new tale that I am entitling TV GOD. This new title is partly a pun based on TV Guide, but it also is a more appropriate title thematically. Basically the theme being how does one find an authentic spiritual and emotional well being, when our American reality seems to be a fictional work written by the greed and desires of our corporate overlords.
I wasn't intending to do this story, but on my hour plus daily commute to work, while my left brain was asleep, the creative ideas started pouring in. I would arrive at work and hastily scribble notes into a yellow notepad, trying to recall the imaginings of my commute, as if i was journaling dreams from the night before. What started developing was the framework of a new approach to my basic story. One I am very happy with and one I want to drive myself into completing.
Heres a digital painting I did with the goal of trying to capture the mood of the first Book of my story.
