GRAIL

 

'Grail' was a story I worked on for years, went through several drafts and did lots (LOTS) of drawings but, in the end, as good as I think the story is I cannot write it. Bottom line is the story, though it seems to be about this one guy it's about four women who are actually Gods who have been born into the human race to help save this world from itself...And I use the word 'Gods' but they're really something else...Being mortal we have no words for them.

But I've written the story 'Bible' and, like I said, did a lot of drawings. So I'm going to just put these portraits up and I think most of you will recognize them...All artists use models and images and people to inspire a character. I'm no different.

Just older.



















'Grail' is based in San Francisco and quite obviously an LGBTQ tale with an inclusive cast. There will be more tomorrow and for a while cause...A lot of drawings!

I could have simply chosen 'Stereotypes' but I refuse to take that route. Another reason I can't really do this story myself. Tomorrow...

The Meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything Else

In Douglas Adams' book/movie 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe' a race of mentally superior beings create a super computer to give them the answer to the meaning of life...Of course it's the number '42'.  It's as good as anything else, I suppose. The advantage of actually living to an older age (And there aren't many) is you can look back at your life and it somehow makes sense...Sometimes it's all nonsense...But you can look at all the threads, decisions, journey's, heartaches and fears that led you to a place you never really believed you'd experience. Seriously, back in high school our math teacher had us figure out what our ages would be when we entered into the year 2000 and, firstly...Old! Secondly, I don't think anyone who knew/knows me would have believed I'd make it that far. I was on a path of self destruction though, as hard as I tried, I never really mastered.  I got to this point and look at all the goals I'
