Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever
They... They being the BBC. Crazy. Cool. Fingers are crossed. I'm not expecting the world. I not expecting anything that is going to change anything. But some words back would be great. Good, bad or ugly, something. If it's good, then fuck yeah, if it's bad then at least I will know what to do next.
Russia is zipping along nicely. Have just rewritten the outline for the first part of this five parter comic.
Sun is out.
I am meditating. Not right now obviously, but I am and it is great. Really good and really useful and really helpful.
NO LIFE!
Music... Pineapple Thief, Explosions in the Sky, Haim, The 1975, Hans Zimmer's Man of Steel music makes me fucking wanna fly.
TV... Game of Thrones, Banshee, Mad Men, HANNIBAL!!! Hannibal is fucking awesome, inspiring brilliance.
Film... Iron Man 3, The Place Beyond The Pines, Double Indemnity on Blu...
Comics... The Massive, Rachel Rising, All New X Men, Storm Dogs, Punk Rock Jesus, East of West... I love comics.
Books... Jeff Noon!

RUSSIA ON ICE
Powerless is out there now. I have to say I am more excited by the prospect than scared. Rejection has never really been something that has concerned me when sending stuff out like this. The reason for that is, it the most likely of outcomes. Now, many will probably say that is extremely negative and dumb way to look at things, trust me, I have been hearing that a lot. I have always justified those thoughts by saying that I am prepared for the worst, so if the bad happens I am not surprised and ready for it, anything good that happens is a nice surprise. But in doing this and thinking in such a way, you begin to lose sight of what is important. Now.
Think about all those films or books where a character gets a vision of something that may happen in the far future and spends the rest of the narrative trying to warn, prevent and stop crazy bad event from happening... yeah, that's me. And what happens is that life passes you by.
What I am getting at in a rather crappy way is that I have decided to leave fear behind on such matters. Whatever happens with regards to Powerless, acceptance or rejection it can only be good. If accepted, then boom, all kinds of goodness, if rejected, then move on, leave it alone or try and fix.
So while its out there currently I have moved on. I still have a few more places in mind to send it and hopefully will get my arse in gear and to such a thing, but currently I am trying to get my head into Russia.
Russia will be, hopefully, a five part comic book story. I have a couple of places that I think will be interested so I am writing up the bits I already have committed to paper along with the bits that are floating around my head. If by some small chance an awesome illustrator who digs crazy scifi concepts an as a bit of the Brian Bolland or Mobius or David Mack about them fancies finding out what this crazy little idea I have is, then please get in touch.
So... currently writing a five page outline, then gonna try and write it as a five page 'Future Shocks' 'pilot' of sorts and then get the first chapter/issue written and then start chucking it out there.
Just need to sort out the day job now...
NO LIFE!
Currently reading what is possibly Brubaker's best thing ever Criminal Deluxe Volume 2. Awesome.
Obsessed by The 1975 and Haim.
Diving back into Halo 4 after forgetting about it...
Game of Thrones season 3 kicks arse after episode 1.
Loving Revolution... want it to be Lost but it probably won't be.
RIP Damien Wayne, you shall be missed.
Namaste.

Happy New Year!
A little late, I know, but hey, it's already been that kind of year. Plus it's only ever really worth writing something when you have something to say.
It has been pretty busy this year already. Mainly with real life rubbish like work and illness. But I have been writing.
3 things that currently occupy my brain.
POWERLESS. Yep, it's still there, it hasn't gone away and it is now on it's way the BBC's Writer's Room. It has taken many years to get it to the point where I feel it was ready to be viewed by a proper critical eye. Fingers are indeed crossed.
ANTHROPOPHAGY. Currently a short film script, but I have brain stormed it and I really think this could work as a feature. So... I am gonna break down treatment and see what I can do about getting some funding to write this mental, sick and romantic film. It's about consumption, meat, love and illness and death.
RUSSIA. I am writing a 5 part comic book. I might be illustrating it. I might have an illustrator lined up. I think I really love this idea and would buy it myself. This is currently what I am working on now Powerless is out there.
So that's the plan.
NO LIFE!
Locke and Key is almost finished and it is flipping awesome. Really gonna miss it. Hope Mr. Hill has something comicy lined up once this is done.
Powers Bureau is awesome. But of course. Superpowered murderous sperm. What's not to like.
The Master is a stunning piece of work. Sometimes I think to myself, because of things like this, why do I even bother, I will never be as good as PTA.
The Walking Dead Season 3 is really, really good.
Fringe: September's Notebook is flipping AWESOME!
Angry Video Game Nerd has become an obsession. Check it out on Youtube. Glorious retro gaming swearing brilliance.
Tomb Raider rocks hard.
Toodles.
