opening shot.

I am writing/illustrating a short story, If you're one of the four people who read this blog you will already know this, if not, check the previous posts for the skinny. This isn't the official opening: it will change. I've already got seventeen various ideas to open the story, one in particular is a self indulgent steadicam homage, thats right, Kubrick and Raimi, i'm takin' it from ya.

more on that later.

I want to animate this and hopefully self publish too.

but more on that later.

also, how awesome is the scott pilgrim game! most awesome, that's what.

lost words: sketchbook stuff.

Wilderness has become Lost Words now.

A man wakes up in a cold, black forest. His face covered in blood. His memory non-existent. Woken by a small raccoon, who seems to have a mystic connection with the forest. They venture deep into the forest to uncover the man's past and future.

proposed logo idea.

raccoon crib sheet.

Arto/ the man crib sheet.

Revised opening concept.

In a nutshell this is one part memento, one part antichrist and possibly one part studio ghibili (mononoke and pom poko in particular).

The story will be non linear and feature experimental typography and layout, however, more on that later.

The full short story will hopefully be available through the blog september time.

also the raccoon will talk.

*I'm trying to get Laurence Fishburne for the audiobook.
