Coming Attractions...

I'll start with an apology: sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been actually, just not here. I'm working on a comic, short stories, poetry and all the usual. Busy, busy, busy.


I even wrote something for you guys and then it got eaten by the bastards of technology and files that are for some reason incompatible and blah, blah, blah. Anyway this is what you get now...

Things to come:


The Sons of Brazil is my first attempt at makin' a comic series completely and 100% solo. I did a few crappy comic strips in highschool that got canned before the end of the year I was wanting to have the first issue finished today, but I suck. I have a few pages done but not nearly enough to call a whole issue. So because I suck you get this and I'll post that first issue as soon as It's all done. I'd expect that to be around January.


Now the part where I don't suck. The Sons of Brazil draws it's title from the novel The Boys from Brazil. Case you haven't read that, scientists clone Hitler and try to recreate conditions that would create a new leader for the Nazis.


In The Sons of Brazil, scientists clone quite a few celebrities in an attempt to control the fate of the world. Two of these clones, Jesus and Hitler, find out their destiny and want nothing to do with it. The two instead go on a series of misadventures from job hunting to being deported to being part of a drug raid to engaging in an outrageous orgy (or two).


I'm usin' these two to tell a twisted, crazy, satirical story that hopefully is amusing enough to make you pee a little. I'm tellin' a story that will hopefully leave everyone offended and make you reconsider the way the world works.

Perfect Blue is my latest short story. It's about an imperfect and immortal man. A man as flawed as anyone, mistakenly drinks a mysterious solution that he finds to grant him immortality. He and his flawed personality make their way and mistakes through life. He goes from a family man to a drug-abusing, sex fiend to a widely respected father figure and scientist. This strangely immortal man even saves and destroys the world, indirectly.

I was listenin' to Dan Auerbach's solo album one day and the image came to me of this large blue man, something like Dr. Manhattan, and then that contrasted with the image of a resentful old man. I started thinkin' about how hard it is to make the right choices in life and and how it's much easier to get a few things right in a short time span than it is to live a long life and come out lookin' like a saint. I also touch on a few things like our dependency on oil and how a good idea can be taken and warped into something horrid.

I'm also writing more poetry but I don't really see a point in tellin' you about that in such detail. I may post those before too long to make up for my absence here. Speakin' of which, I'm glad a lotta you guys haven't run out on me. I appreciate any comments, likes, or reading that you guys do. I know writing isn't as flashy or as easy to absorb as a picture or a song and in this day and age it's still not that cool to read for fun but I love those of you that do.

Anyway, thanks for readin' I'll write again asap.
