Hi , hope you are enjoying the weekend.  

Page 15 and its blog post are now live on the blog, as always I tell those on my email list first.  This blog post has been one of my most favourite to write. 

 

 

 

In the blog post I blog about the movie which inspired the writing of Digitopia the most.  

 

I was way to young to have watched this movie when I did, at that age it scared me so much, much more than most horror movies have done.

 

But I just had to go back and revisit it.

 

As I grew up I kept wanting to write something inspired about it - it took me about twenty odd years to do it, but I got there in the end.  

 

Page 15 is perhaps the most obvious place where its influence comes across, interestingly enough an earlier draft of Digitoipia may as well have been a love letter to this movie.  

 

Some 14 drafts later, I think I've got the influence of the movie in the psyche of the comic book - hope you enjoy page 15 and its blog post.  

 

 

If all goes well I hope to be emailing you next week with details of the Kickstarter for Digitopia 2.0.  

 

Currently the plan is to launch on the weekend of March 20th.  Which is less than two weeks from now.  

 

I am a bit behind on where I had hoped to be, it is challenging to manage a demanding job, kids/family, health and running a Kickstarter, but I'll still aim to do my best to get everything prepared in time.  

 

I'll know next week if the weekend of March 20th is feasible.  I'll definitely do my best to make it happen.  

 

Juggling so many things, I don't get a chance to reply to all of them, but I do read them all and they really help me to keep ploughing through the never ending stream of work to achieve my dream of getting the graphic novel completed.  

 

Keep sending them through and keep telling your friends about the page.  

 

As always the best way for them to sign up and be part of the community is to go to the sign up page at here - http://www.comic.digitopiafilm.com/index.php/download-digital-art-book

 

 

 

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and we'll hopefully speak next week.

 

Thanks
