The die is cast tonight...finally writing a sort of outline for my first project.
I have decided to finally spend some time crafting the skeleton of the graphic story I have in mind. This will be my first official attempt at sitting down and working from outline to script to concept sketch to sketch to something more finished. When this is complete I hope to have a sixty, or so, paged graphic novel detailing the first ever "Non Ultio est Oblitus" story. This is the final title I have decided on, and will be considered the working title until it goes to print in the far, undetermined future.
In the meantime I shall leave you with this, a little something cute for my wife, and hope that you'll check back for the progress as it is detailed here. Thanks for checking in.

Thoughts...Experimenting With Symbology
Just fooling around this morning and I found myself sketching an Asian monk of sorts. I wondered as to who this fellow might be and thoughts turned toward Buddha. Now, I am not a Buddhist, but I do have an interest in the mythologies and philosophies of the many civilizations and cultures of the world.
I figured I'd think of a few symbols to incorporate that would add to the overall Buddhist feel. I incorporated the Great Wheel, which is repeated several times over the fellows robe. In regards to the robe, I went for a sort of "Void except the wheel," look. I then thought of Buddha's eyes, watching this monk and the monk gazing back.
It was an experiment, it was an exercise. I'll try to keep up to date with daily exercises or perhaps finished work. Thanks for tuning in.

Bachelor life of days past...gone forever!
My filing status now reads: Married!
On September 5, of this year, my fiance/girlfriend/best friend of over two years, and I, tied the knot. It was, cliches aside, the best day of my life thus far!
Now let's see if I can divine any interesting stories from all of this.
Oh, yes, and once again, a sketch of sorts.
