Welcome to the first blog post. The idea of this blog is to share with readers.
Sometimes I'll share links to things I (or more likely another blogger) found on the internets such as cool TV shows, music, videos and other junk. Other times, I'll share stories, whether they be behind the scenes of my comic and writing processes or slice of life stories from my daily routine.
Most importantly, though, I hope to share ideas -- things which might inspire thought, conversation, debate, or just a new way to consider things.
Ideas are the closest thing to magic I think we can know, especially when they seem to come out of nothing.
You might even know the feeling. You're sitting at your desk going about your life, when suddenly, the seed of the idea forms in your head. Like fire, it burns bright, impossible to ignore, demanding to be seen, contemplated, UNDERSTOOD. You HAVE to stop whatever you are doing to work through the idea, in hopes of turning it over in your mind, and expanding on it. Suddenly, that idea is electric, spawning new ideas, your whole body ALIVE with the concepts.
I'm not sure if this is a feeling known only to artists, but it is the reason I feel a special kinship with artists no matter what their medium. They all understand that kinetic magic in a special way.
Ideas can come from anywhere. A book, a sign you saw on the way to work, a chance conversation overheard on a crowded street, patterns your mind sees in the clouds, water droplets streaming down a pane of cold glass on a rainy day, admiring the pattern of the cracked bottom of a ceramic coffee mug... anywhere.
Maybe even a silly blog with delusions of grandeur.
Feel free to comment and share your ideas in this or any post.
Thanks for reading,
