Bring on the Champagne

Hello, my friends,

Whoa, it sure has been a long time since Iīve last posted something in here.

Exhaustion wouldnīt characterise my emotions fairly enough right now.
Iīm completely dried up inside after this insane 3 years-long marathon.

The INFINITEENS, the superhero comic book project I started way, way, way back in the summer of 2001 (at the time tentativelly entitled Little People) is finally finished.......... and me with it.
I figure itīll take me at least a week to get them creative engines repaired and restarted.

Eight chapters, 198 pages of blood, sweat and tears, from script to pencils, inks, colors and īletteringī- if you can call that lettering- have finally been produced.
Yes, produced.
Not completed.
Because if thereīs one constant in the universe, itīs the dissatisfaction all artists have toward their work.

As I read the printed pages (and especially the first chapters), I can identify at least two zillion things in desperate need of some serious tweaking, fine-tuning and, if all else fails, annihilation...…….... once my inner spark is back online, that is.
For now, I feel like celebrating.
Telling the adventures of Nadia, Luther, Beverly and Julian drained me but also pulled me into the story to a point where I started relating to these kids almost as if they were real people…. Which is a sign that either Iīm way overdue for my medication or itīs time to consider undertaking another project.
Either way, itīs great to be back among the living.

Iīve missed the sun.
