I fill pages with the planets’ personalities
Constellations are the bones of my characters
A comic about the Planets in the Solar family. Planet is Greek for ‘wanderer’
the sky is blue
and high above
the moon is new
and so is love
the sky is blue
the night is cold
the moon is new
but love is old

while i was on planet zodiac, I considered drawing a strip about the universe
zodiac took me over at this point in my life. probably because there was so much uncertainty
in another dreamscape, wax angles paired with women, or becoming women, becoming dolls.
i draw a dreamscape: Many souls. I, a dream soul that wanders into the land of the dead, say to the compass holder ‘That way’s London to you. I’m going NORTH. ’ A man in a children’s cart-train, pulled by an animal, says ’Get into this one,’ and points to the empty cart beside him.
she-moon lifts up world: the world can’t see how important and how difficult her work is
at unexpected points in my life, I have come across old notes i have written - backup notes for ’the discussion.’ you know what discussion i’m talking about - the one where you are going to sort out all the problems in your relationship. make everything okay with love and reason. except sometimes you can’t. and nothing changes. and the next note a year or two later, contains the same points for discussion. this is one of those notes. those notes break my heart.
