Art thoughts, From the desk of Thomas Typewriter

A studio update

  1. The Great Works Project

As always, TGWP moves on. I have been working on season 05. It will probably take me another week or two to finish the rough drafts. I like to write the episodes then let them sit and percolate before publishing them. That is why I am working on season 05, even though I am publishing season 02. I view my subconscious as a writing partner and I like to give them a chance to review and rewrite.

  1. Up Late, Late at Night

I have finished the script for season 01, episode 01. Ophidia wants storyboards completed before we start building puppets or filming anything. We’ll see how that goes.

  1. The Script Illuminated

I completed and posted the rough drafts from the first page of the script. The question I am wrestling with now is do I create the illustrations physically or digitally. If physically, then I would need markers, bristol board, rubber cement, and an x-acto knife. If digitally, then I would need to install Corel Draw onto my desktop and laptop. 

  1. Untitled project

Can I help my city, my community, be better? I honestly don’t know. But I have to try and for me the schools are the best place to start. 

  1. A prayer to Brighid

Yesterday, while contemplating your grace, I saw your burning hand. A golden handprint of blazing light and curving lines, it called out to me. Touch my hand, you said, and know the arts, for I am art and art is me. I so wanted to reach out, to place my hand in yours.
