I really dig the ICON series. Every issue is incredible, simply because I have absolutely no friggin idea what you have in mind for this series.
Movin on, thats the most refreshing theme I've read in eons.
Okay, a question...
Am I hitting the sauce too often or are you hinting that Akemi more than just a singular character, that she's perhaps a circular network of hope? Just what I thought after reading the scenes in #2 and 3 of the ICON series. You don't have to answer if im spoiling things. just thought thats a cool idea. |
Hi Shaun Koh!
I really appreciate your take on the Alchemy so far!
And thanks for reading.
I think that is certainly a valid interpretation or speculation so far!
Like you said, I won't spoil things with too specific of an answer, but I like that the story is making you think and speculate about that kind of thing.
I'm glad you are liking it so far!
I think you'll get a big kick out of #4 as well.
And these issues sort of lay the ground work for the resolutions that start to get pieced together at a faster pace in the second half of this story. |

I agree with showing everything as well, but I think It may be best to order it within topics for each volume.
So I want to include much of my non comic work (large paintings, sculptures, phototgrapy, etc) but I'm thinking it may be best to include that in one of the follow up albums after the first one devoted to the Kabuki covers and sketches.
I'd like to do one that collects all my personal figure drawings and personal studies. I have so many spontaneous sketches and nude studies, paintings and doodles of friends, etc. I'd like to show that side of my work in a volume as well.
That'st the kind of art books and sketch books that I like to see and buy myself anyway. |

Hey David,
Looking forward to the art books. I'd love to see a multi-volume series of hardcovers.
I was wondering if you'll be doing sketches in LA, SD or Chicago?
Also, remember that friend I told you about in the PMs? He's seriously scared to meet you in SD. Ha ha ha...

Thanks.
I'd like to do it as a multi volume set too.
And I'll be very kind and warm to your friend. He has nothing to fear.
I appreciate the initiative of his and your parts to make things right, and will be nothing but appreciative of that.
I'm not sure about sketches. I've been pretty busy at cons lately just signing the books and talking to readers as they pick up books and bring them to sign. I haven't had the same down time at cons to take the time to do sketches.
But I'll try to start a short list if I can. Maybe I'll have more time on the last day. |

Whatever format you put it in, my friend, it will sell. Just don't forget to include the robot.  _________________ Alice

Good suggestion!
Maybe I could do an entire section of art I made as a kid. Or show an evolution of those childhood sculptures and drawings and paintings. |

You'll be the first! Did you ever publish that little 8 or 10 page story you had on the wall at your gallery show? The one about your childhood? Man, I saw so many parallels with my own childhood (making costumes, stuff out of practically nothing) that I had to leave the room for a while to get myself back together. Yep, made me cry. It was such a moving piece. _________________ Alice
