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.
