I'm writing something for another blog that I could have easily written for this one. It's about our work and about our love for comics, and about our inspirations and influences for Daytripper. We've said something about it in here before, and I guess we could talk about it for days, months, even years. We love what we do and, if we're not careful, we talk about it ALL THE TIME.
Kinda boring if you're in a conversation circle and it's not a hot topic.
Luckily for us, since Daytripper is coming out next week as a trade in comic shops, we had the opportunity to talk about work a lot in half a dozen interviews, so we're more than satisfied in that area. Let's turn our attentions to another area, then, called "future projects".
I did this sketch at the beach while thinking about this "future projects" area.
It's a nice area.
A secret area.
Kind of like Area 51, you know. Secret. If you think that 51 is the brand of strong pinga here in Brazil (not the best one, I'm afraid), then I think we have the perfect mix of influences to try to start to explain our future projects.
Except that we're not going to explain our future projects.
No.
That would ruin the fun, now wouldn't it?
We're just going to go back to work.
Right.
Disclaimer: the picture above has nothing to do with the so called "future projects". I just thought it looked nice.

The Sandman
I remember when I first read a Sandman comic. A girl in my class at freshman year of College lent it to me when I told her I wanted to do comicbooks. I had a huge crush on that girl, so I would have read anything, I guess, but I'm glad she had the entire Sandman collection up to that point to lend me.
To think that I have, in recent years, met Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, became friends with Jill Thompson (who I have shared a booth with at SDCC in the past two years, but have met and admired since 1998), all that makes something inside my chest go warm and happy.
Dream big, dream always, and go after your dreams.
Who knows where life will take you.

Reading
When you're writing a script, it seems you only read and write all day long. And, after you had spent so much of your time over the past few years drawing page after page in a frenetic pace, this new routine appears to me to be a deceivingly easy. Writing is not easy at all, and when you have to read for research, it's not as relaxing as reading for fun, but just the lack of drawing makes me feel I'm not working.
It's a silly thought.
A recurrent silly thought.
A daily one.
...
Back to work.
Or back to reading and writing.
Whatever.

Oh, and yeah. New material is coming out this year. You won't wanna miss that.
