It appears there is a scammer/spammer from Ghana by the name of Stella Maris on this website I have received a message, and initially, I thaught it was a proposal to work in a comic project. Searching in the Google I found older denounces of spamming against this person (she or he used other names like "Stella Kwafe", but the e-mail adress and the message are always the same.

~.*.*.*Sugar Song & Bitter Step.*.*.*~

I'm working on a new project!! When I finish it, it'll be 71 pages, and 4 minutes and 14 seconds long, 

What I'm doing is similar to my "Laugh Maker" video: The difference is that this one isn't necessarily following a story guideline, so I can use whatever character I want on any given line.  The song is "Sugar Song & Bitter Step" by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN. I'm currently on page #10, so 61 to go!!

Gaborgenheit

      Gaborgenheit is a word that I want to hold on to.  Its such a lovely concept that it has its own Wiki page but... the word is not "sticky" in the way that some words cling in your memory. Still Gaborgenheit is worth a Deviant Journal entry.
   WingedWarTigers(Deviant Art site) recently did a really sweet gaborgenheit picture :   Misty Birthday  , which got me thinking about this word.   
       Gaborgenheit is a feeling, a combination of warmth, security and quiet happiness. You can create it anywhere, you can create it for someone else, as WingedWarTigers illustrated.  It helps to have surroundings that are cold-wet-dark or just generally miserable, to make the gaborgenheit that much more delicious.
    An unspoken part of gaborgenheit is that by its very nature, its transitory; like a warm breath it can be savored but not stored up. With some mental focus, times of gaborgenheit can be held in special areas of the memory, perhaps later to be worked into and art piece like I did on Deviant Art: Cloud Sandwhich  , but its futile to store a feeling in a possession or structure.   There is a predictable longing, a hunger, to hold onto moments gaborgenheit but the feeling is only meant to be an invitation for life's final Gaborgenheit, one that is not transitory.   When I think of God, I think of Gabogenheit as a person.
Why not; if Thunder gets to be a hammer-weilding person, if Eros and Wisdom get personalities, why not a person who embodied and eternal gaborgenheit?
    Mein Gott Gaborgenheit!

Well, I put dialog to the whole issue.  Now I know why there's a 6 panel max limit on pages.  Also found I need to leave extra spacing for word bubbles too (progress).  

Let me know what you think, just remember the 1st rule of effective critiquing: for every 1 negative comment, there MUST be 1 positive comment.

Now onto to deciding on the next project.

Progress this week

Hi All:

So the last page is penciled and inked.  I'm thinking I should add dialog to this whole project.  If anybody objects speak now or forever hold your peace.  

Tried some new pens and white out tools, with varying levels of effectiveness that I had to correct in Photoshop.

Post one thing you like and one thing you dislike.
