Thanks so much to everyone who have given me comments, criticism, and encouragement, this first act was a baptism of fire more than anything, I had an idea of how i was going to do it, but you never really know until you're already knee deep in it. And that's a dirty little secret that no creative person likes to admit but its true. If I could tell how something was going to turn out I probably wouldn't be interested in the process. Its in the mistakes and the obstacles that the magic really happens,...
I'm excited about the next act, its gonna be a trip. I've been interested in dreams for a long time. The waking dream, the passive dream, the therapist's dream-oh you know freud loved pumpin' meaning into his subjects' dreams,...I'm just saying sometimes its a random minddump no rhyme or reason to it, yet a therapist still has to justify to his/her patient why they're charging them $60 an hour to hear you monologue.
But I digress, I've always believed dreams are a powerful tool for an individual's growth-no filters-no social pressures to worry about, just the naked pysche. It's so easy to drift from a wonderful fantasy to a cruel nightmare before you could know what hit you. Powerful symbolism and random absurdity go hand in hand in the ever changing world of dreams. And it is in this world that the second act begins. Some of my inspirations for this act come from Ralph Steadman's brilliantly grotesque illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo journalism.
I look forward to sharing the next act with you all, my website is being updated with concept art for the second act as we speak if you'd like to get a glimpse of some of the elements of the second act.
act 2 coming soon
