After thinking about it, I'd say go with all of the Kabuki covers. It'd be nice and it'd leave expansion for extra volumes woth other covers. _________________

I don't know if this has ever been asked before (because I think I'm still pretty new to this place), but who would you cast as Kabuki, and the rest of the characters?

Well, if I can't choose you, what's the point? |
OK fine! Which one would I be?  |
I'd like to talk more about the casting ideas for the Kabuki film, but I'm not supposed to do that, as the film is in developement at Fox and I'm supposed to keep quiet about that. But there are lots of great parts, for lots of great actors.
Every now and then, I'm asked to send a signed hardcover to certain actresses with it personalized to her
And I do have tapes of actresses auditioning for Kabuki saying my lines from the books which is really cool.
But until things are all locked down, I can't really talk about it.
There are great actors out there that I am hoping for!
Who would you cast in what parts? |
OK, that's understandable.
Hmm...if I had to cast the movie...I don't really know too many Japanese actresses so I guess I'll have to do the Hollywood thing and cast any Asian that looks Japanese. Here's my picks:
Kabuki: Zhang Ziyi (because she's in everything right now, and she knows how to fight) or Qi Shu, who was in 'The Transporter' and the Hong Kong 'So Close'
Akemi: Yoon-jin Kim (from 'Lost' - she had a great role in the Korean action film "Shiri")
Butoh: Bai Ling
Saimese: Kelly Hu (double role)
Ice: Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo from Kill Bill)
Tigerlily: Lucy Liu
Scarab: China Chow
Not too many Asian actresses that I can think of. Maybe I might have to come out of my acting retirement to star in it.  _________________

Well I could put the guest covers in the back as a sort of bonus.
And many of them are also collaborations with me and another artist.
But I'd still want to include the Scarab covers, and many of them are done by Rick Mays.
Although I suppose I still qualify as being a part of that process as perhaps a sort of art director.
I'm thinking if it is a book of just covers, I should show the covers to volume by volume in chronology in the book. Even if the Scarab ones are often by Rick Mays.
Should I cut it off at volumes 1-6, or also include what I have of the Alchemy?
I'd also include the Kabuki Classics and
I imagine I'd also include the covers to Reflections.
Make it as all encompasing inclusive as possivle. |
Sure.
But I'm asking all you you here as readers to see what kind of format you would prefer in a book like this.
It will be a certain amount of work for me to put it together and desing it etc, so I want to make it the kind of collection of art that readers and art fans would really like to have. |
I'd love something with all the covers, with the guest covers as a little bonus (maybe even with a little something written about the covers by each artist. That would be cool) _________________

And then to list it as Vol 1 (making the consecutive books also fit into that title with other volumes), and put another line under the title designating it as:
The Art of David Mack
The Kabuki covers |
I think that would be great.
I'd love to see all the covers in order with annotations, including guest artists. As to whether or not to include The Alchemy covers, I'd love to see as many finished (or in progress) Alchemy covers in this book as possible! Then years later when you do the next Kabuki covers volume you could start from Alchemy #1 again so that that book doesn't start in the middle of an arc. |
Good idea!
I'll put every single cover in it. All varients, all trade covers, hardcover covers, and the different covers from earlier printings, and all of the Alchemy covers I have at the time. |

David Mack has kindly forwarded the cover and solicitation artwork for Kabuki: The Alchemy #5, which I have included as part of tonight's news update.
The update also includes information about future convention appearances, a short Q&A about Echo and Kabuki plus much more.
If anyone has any questions about the news update, please let me know
Best,
