FRI, 1/16/04, 12:36 a.m. - In Response To: the list (~Adam)
When I was updating my Mack site I got into the habit of
keeping track of all this stuff..and I still do, just for the hell of it.
It's complete as far as I know. (I guess there were some signed editions
of Kabuki #1's that came out, but I didn't include those since they weren't new stuff.)

Hey Tony,
It is good to see you here again. I hope your artwork is doing well
and I hope this list was helpful to you.
Besides that, the other Kabuki stuff to come out before that list and since I saw you at the signing in Australia are:
Kabuki REFLECTIONS #4
KABUKI The Ghost Play
Scarab Hardcover and Paperback and the Daredevil Parts of a Hole and WAKE UP stories are in hardcover and paperback.
The new Kabuki series is starting this year, and the first issue should be in stores in a month.
Best,
David
Re: Next Mack DD Arc

Goodman)
That would be so awesome. I read that x-men arc and wondered how it affects Marvel continuity.
"Only Mack could do a 6 issue arc about someone stuck in a box:P"
I would love to read David's take on this. J.M. DeMatteis (my other
favorite writer) wrote a short graphic novel called Mercy, about a man
who was stuck in his own mind. He also did the kraven story where spidy
was barried alive for two weeks.
Ha Ha! That's great! I really dig your feedback on this and the news flash.
But I think that whoever posted this meant it as a joke!
I'm guessing it is a humorous nod (or a jab) on my stories tending to
focus on a lot of the inner developement of characters as much or more
than some external action.
I think it is funny. And ironically, as much as I think it was meant
as a joke, I think it could be a very fun story . So thanks for your faith
in me!

And just to clarify, I have no plans to do any more DD arcs for the foreseeable future.
For at least the next year (maybe next couple years if I sneak in a
couple more issues like I always seem to on each Kabuki series) Kabuki is my focus. I'm really into the ALCHEMY story and it is a story with great depth and breadth (along the lines of METAMORPHOSIS, but even more so) and one that really demands all my attention to weave all the characters and ideas together.
So if you enjoyed the tone on META (and Skin Deep), you will especially
enjoy ALCHEMY. And then the TIGER LILY story will come right after it and it ties into this story as well. Lots of Akemi and Noh surprises!
I hope you are as into it as I am. I've been turning down jobs left and right so I can focus soley on these stories for the next couple years. It is a new era of Kabuki!
Spread the word!

mindless (Andy_Leeke)
My advice is to just start doing it. In any form. In all forms. Don't
try to figure it all out ahead of time. What is important is that you get
yourself INTO the process. Sometimes you think you have to have it figured
out before you write. This will just lead to procrastination and frustration.
The information comes in the PROCESS of the ACT of working. Then you connect
with your creative self that is more than your conscious self. And you
jump from bridge to bridge and get lost and found in the process. Then
there will come a point when you realize what you are doing and why and
what direction you are going in. But what is important, is that if you
are a writer, or an artist, the process is what is enjoyable. Even when
it is not enjoyable, it is, because you are where you should be in the
ACT of it. So you just DO it. You put your all in it. And the work becomes
its own thing after the fact, and wether people choose to see it as great
or not will be a seprereate thing. Most likely some people will think it
is great, and some people will be blind to it, and others will relate to
it and learn something from it and that will be rewarding to you, and create
amazing and unpredictable ripple effects in other's lives and in the rest
of your lives. But not as rewarding as the very ACT of finding your place
in the universe by immersing yoursefl in the ACTION and PROCESS of doing
what you are hardwired to do.
If you are a writer or an artist, you will do it. Because you have no
choice. You will do it wether it is fun or not. Or you will be miserable
if you do not do it. And when you do it, even when it is miserable and
hard and difficult work, it will be fun.
Go team.
its 230 am here, ive got loads of coursework, but i find
myself wanting to write and im feeling moody. so here goes....
My english tutor told me last week i have the potential to be a best
selling author. for the past 6 days since she said that its been running
through my head...my mind is searching through every aspect of my life....trying
to discover who i am.I have no clue how i became a good writer, i didnt
even finish high school because of illness. i hated english...and now apparently
i could make a living out of something im good at and like doing. The problem
is... its not what i love. I cant restrict myself to words. Its shocking
me that id rather be a below average artist than a world famous author.
they're both just possibilities now...but anything can happen.
I dont know what im trying to say... i think its all just leaning
towards a phrase ive used so many times. "you can only be great at what
you were born to do" - thats become my philosophy.
and now, sudenly... eveything is different. my world has become a
swirl of murky confusion, just like it was before everything happened to
me.... all because of one sentence...
As big headed as it sounds, do you ever feel as if you're destined
to be great, but find yourself constantly wishing you could just stay in
the darkness, observing? as long as i can remeber ive felt that im either
gonna do something amazing or momentus failure. theres no middlegroud for
me...
i hate it.
sorry for jabbering on... just venting i guess.

The moral of the story is,
Do what you love. Forget about best selling. That can come or not.
Just do the artform that you enjoy and the rest will fall into place
as you as you really DO it.

Dear Fumiki...
TUE, 1/20/04, 7:51 p.m. - Re: Kabuki X-mas X-change!! (Miss Fumiko)
I sent you a letter at the beginning of December, but today it was returned
to me, saying it couldn't be delivered.
I think I used your most recent address.
Any suggestions?
