Sojourn

Had a few queries about this blog and its raison d'etre. Still on it in theory but read on...


I broke my left fibula on Bastille Day 2012. This gave me about two months of time spent confined to my home. Wow! All that time for working on the Monsoons! You'd finish it. But, no, a lot of the time was spent managing pain and learning how to do things that I used to take for granted (like getting a hot drink from one room to another, showering, cooking etc etc). Every time I tried to think of and develop The Monsoons I mentally looked the other way. How to get out of this?

I began by noticing that, while I was telling people what had happened to me I was applying a formal narrative structure to it. Next stop, I started to draw some sequences and before I knew it I had the makings of a comic. This will be called FIBULA and I'm putting it on another blog. If I can find an elegant and user friendly way of reading this better than the one I am imagining I'll do it. Meantime, keep your eye on this space and this one as well. The closer I am to finishing this the sooner I get back to this. Thank you, thank you for your kind attention.
