I've started work on Arcadia, a project I'd almost completely forgotten about... it's going to end up in Something Wicked, a FutureQuake production (the independant comic that I got my first comic published with), sometime early 2008. I've gotten into it quite a bit - I'm trying a slightly different art style and it's helped get me in the mood again. It sounds absolutely insane and I'm sure that no-one I ever explain it to will fully grasp what I'm trying to say, but the style has kind of been influenced by chunky video game graphics that lose their detail with distance.
You'll just have to trust me with this one.
On a non-related note, I've completely lost all my enthusiasm for the Art of Self Destruction project, even though I have around 30 pages for it so far. I don't know why it is exactly - maybe the novelty of having it printed in book form (I've been through like four test-prints already) has worn off, but it's very much on the back burner for the time being. But it's no bad thing - if the project never gets finished, I'll have atleast have bulked up my portfolio a little bit.
I'm not sure what the future is for the Violet comic strip. Racket Magazine is apparently changing its format and will now be printed around six times a year rather than monthly as it has been up untill now. What this mean's for our monthly, story-driven strip I don't know. Ariel hasn't said anything about it getting cancelled (mainly because he hasn't been told anything himself) but it seems likely to me. I guess we'll see.
Not all doom and gloom however - I'm on the verge of signing up for another comic strip entitled 'Misspent Youth'. Yippee.
