The Obscure

I like that I can spend an entire day feeling like I am bare inches from falling asleep and as soon as it gets dark out I get an energy burst and wanna start hanging out with people again, but everybody is going home; and I have to try and wind down cause I have friggin school in the morning.
I started working on a new comic idea today. Not new characters or artwork really, but a new kind of dialogue and stuff. I've been writing these comic scripts a lot that are more like... almost journal entries, with accompanying art and slight dialogue. They're just journal entries about things I think about, not things that actually happen. I think they are funny, I don't know who they'd appeal to though.
I've also started messing with this more fluid background idea, inspired by George Herriman. The background I drew for the One frame I have done so far for the script I got (haha, I'm a loser) is all trippy and stuff, I kinda like it though, that it can just be a lil' wacky and not make a whole lot of sense. Cause I mean, there are hundreds of cartoonists who'll draw characters against a white nothingness. I don't know, I am just realizing lately that I have been trying to make myself draw in a way that I don't want to draw. I've always tried to draw these really precise backgrounds (when I draw backgrounds at all, which is rare) and it always comes out looking like shit; so I'm thinking, maybe if I just draw these trippy, almost recognizable shapes in the background and give them some wacky colors with watercolor pencils (which is another thing I'm messing with again) I don't know, if it comes out in a way I like I may pop some stuff on here in the upcoming weeks. I've been feeling very inspired for several days now though, so here's hoping it woiks.

Ummm.... All is well in Johnville right now. Today is one of the days when I kinda feel good about everything, I don't know why precisely. Maybe it was just lack of sleep or something. Speaking of which, why the hell aren't I tired? Eh, we'll see how it is in an hour or so.
Anyway, I guess this is the end of THIS blog update, sorry it was all about cartoons, they're really on my mind right now. Goodnight folks.
