This started out as an experiment in laying out / penciling a full size page. I didn't really have an idea where the 'story' was going, or really if there even was one. I just wanted to draw and develop stronger visualizing skills, and work at rendering shots and interpreting visualizations. So I started drawing. I have to confess in a slightly bad mood. That's why the guy is at a lunch table, I was thinking of doing a 'story from real life' - thing. You know, one of those disenchanted, existential angst, the void > the void > THE VOID !!! pieces. I was thinking of titling it - "This Blue Collar" - you know, all 'Boo - Hoo' and stuff. Then as I worked on it, on and off throughout the day - my mood improved !!! And what were to be faceless throngs of numbed shoppers / commuters / consumers - became ZOMBIES ( ha ha - same thing !!! ) And that's when it 'clicked' and I became so enthused with the idea, that after I inked and scanned it, I went ahead and colored and lettered it just for kicks. Then I became curious and asked myself - "whats this fellows name - where is he from, or at - what exactly IS happening there, wherever he / they happen to be ? All valid questions indeed. So - I'll try to get as much done as possible and that way we can explore together and find out - WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING DOWN THERE . . . . . ??? "
