on kissing chaos
So, I've been toying away at Kissing Chaos, mainly filtering all the stories and ideas I've worked on for the past year into a comic book. I've written, and re-written the SWEET NOTHINGS one shot that was supposed to come out a few years ago, and its at the point where I think it's ready.
Though the term hiatus could be used to describe the lack of Kissing Chaos releases in the past year, it really is misleading. Sure, no new KC material was released, but I was far from taking a break on the series. Aside from constant re-writes, and re-envisioning, of the characters, I've been toying the KC, making sure it will be exactly what I want, when I finally do unleash the new material. That being said, I've accumulated a vast amount of KC pages and stories (in prose format). I have yet to go the route of great artists like Cezanne, de Kooning or Francis Bacon, who are notorious for destroying their own work, mostly due to dissatisfaction and self doubt. Sure, the main reason most of these KC pages (at least 2 or 3 issues worth) will never see the light of day is primarily dissatisfaction, I don't think I could bring myself to destroying them. That seems so, final. Maybe someday, if there are enough requests, these "lost" Kc works will be printed. If enough people raise a collective voice, I could put some of this stuff online, against my gut instinct that the work is shite! But despite that, I would rather not destroy the work, as it was part of my creative process, and helped me form the ideas, and designs that will become Kissing Chaos as you will see it from now on.

Coming soon, a few KC shorts, remixes of the original KC short comics that, I suppose unless you have the KC Vol. 1 TPB, are pretty rare. Hopefully in the next week or so. I've been reworking some of the dialogue, and of course the character designs. Plus, I do believe I've grown somewhat as a storyteller, and I hope it will be evident in these remixed comics. The remixes are mainly a preparation/warm up, before I get into SWEET NOTHINGS. At this point I'm still undecided as to the online format this comic will take. Here are my options:
a)post a new page once it's completed. This means basically a page will go up online every few days, and the story will inch along as I get it done
b)post episodes. so basically, I'll try to get a chapter/episode done every week or so. The story inches a long, but in bigger chunks.
Anyway, let me know what would be the best way to enjoy an online comic! Email or post here!
Here is a page from my sketchbook. It features some warm up drawings I did, as well as some doodles of heads of Damien, Angela and Raevynish. More art to be posted soon!
