Okay, starting over.
I'm working on a new comic right now. I'm almost finished. It's been slow going 'cause I'm second guessing myself. It's called TALES FROM THEE ASTRONAUT.
I'm not stopping THEE ASTRONAUT or even DOKTOR X. I'm just adding to the story. I've created a bunch of characters from both books, and I'm excited to try and flesh them ALL out.
but.
Do I have the time.
It's been hard to concentrate. I miss the feeling of community. I miss going to shows. I miss meeting new people, new fans, my heroes. These last two years have been a creative hell. YouTube videos and Twitter have been my only REAL outlets. There's a lot of negativity on both. I( don't understand it. Maybe it's because I don't have a horse in the race. I think comics are for everybody. I KNOW not every comic is for EVERYONE. Heck, I know MY comics aren't for everyone. I get that. I've seen it first hand. But, that's okay. I GET it.
So, I'm doing something new. Just like the original THEE ASTRONAUT, this new book comes from somewhere inside my unconscious mind. It started just playing out and I wrote it down. I took some time time to think about how I wanted to present it, I created it into the physical world. I'm hoping I get it done before my deadline. I want to bring it to HeroesCon. I want to share my creation with my peers and my friends.
Speaking of HeroesCon, it's in JUNE. THEE ASTRONAUT has completed its first revolution around the sun and so I have collected it into a graphic novel. You can get the individual copies here . (Along with the first five issues of DOKTOR X). I'm excited to bring this book to HeroesCon, only a hand-full of creators got to see work my work in progress. Locally, it's done pretty good.
So TALES FROM is a separate entity, but it tells where some characters came from, some upcoming stories will tell where their stories are going.
I hope to post more and more as the time comes. Plus, this will be a place to showcase some of my art. I do want to warn people that some will be NSFW. But I'll try to keep everything vanilla.
Talk to you next time,
Chris "Eyeball" Behrens
