The Blue Dawn is upon us...
Alright i got a few e-mails from people who really wanted to know more about my graphic novel...unfortunately it is one of those B1 classified things where i can't reveal that much info as of yet. but i can release a few details that might arrouse some curiosity.

firstly. i have decided what the title will be. it is definately called "Blue Dawn". i can't tell you why yet because that would give a bit of the story away.

secondly. this graphic novel is based on a dream i had at the end of last year during my final matric exams. i dont know if you have had any of these dreams but this was one of the three dreams where i was fully concious within them and could move freely as if it were reality. yes and as usual it was very strange which is what makes for an original story...considering that you cant just think of these kind of things while youre awake, lol.

another interesting element that adds to a good story is characters- and i have 2 main characters aswell as a compliment of enemy's and secondary characters. but what makes the characters special is the fact that they're based on people that are around me so i have no need to make many changes to them or if i do then might abandon the realism.

I warn in advance that this graphic novel is not realy for young readers as it contains graphic violence lol but more then that is the reason that i included a lot of symbolism that readers of the ages up to 16 or possibly 18 may not understand. of course anyone can read it if they want but to enjoy it to its full intent, it is best if you can understand the art of symbolism and iconography.

Well that's all i can say for now but I'll try to give more away in the future. Thats it for this week, stay well and dont forget to brush your teeth...oh and remember that even when you're doing nothing you are actually doing something, so dont try to waste too much time coz you wouldnt be anyway lol (what i just said didnt make much sense but i just felt like saying something random and confusing).

until next week...
