Just a few thoughts

Well, I hit these points of total genious where The stories flow out of me uncontrolably. Then I get to the point where it takes me aw week to write one fair page. Sometimes I have to work on it.

I find my biggest inspirations in comics to be things that have nothing to do with comics. My children Keep my juices flowing sometimes. I see things through their eyes or look at how they develop and it starts my gears turning. I see the t.v. shows they are most mesmorized by and it helps me see what attracts them to it.

Lazy Town. have you seen this show on nickelodeon? It is truly brilliant like the telletubbies it has vibrant colors simple paterns that are catchy to the eye and catchy tunes. Why not use elements of that design that captures the immagination of a child for an adult. We are at all times all the ages we have ever been in our life. So when we get angered or feel frustration we revert to the frustration of our two year old self. Why not be put into that state that mesmorized us as a two year old. It's a similar concept I think that Tim Burton has put to use. I even see it a bit in David Lynch's work.

I walk into a little diner and see a million phenominal characters for my next project. That old guy sipping his coffee with his purple heart WWII Vet hat on. The Young girl nursing her baby in the corner. The guy on the grill dreaming about sports or cars. There's the Bag lady and the Construction worker sitting at the counter discussing the service and her grandchildren whose mother passed away from cancer. Each and every person has a story and each and every story is worth listening to at least a bit, you never know where your inspiration will come from.

I tend to write more scripts without intending to finish them or even use them. Sometimes as you're looking back at old notebooks you find some idea that came to you that was forgotten and then you realize how genious an idea it truly was. I love it when I read an old piece of mine that I don't even remember writing and it turns out to be good. Who knows It might all be pulled up later when I neeed that extra story and I'm at one of my dry spells.
