Why?

Oh my... what did I do yesterday. I was more tired than I thought. Anyhow.. let us continue and see where it leads us.

My instincts told me I should have done some research before I jumped into building the building blocks.

First question I need to ask myself - Why am I doing this?

Well for starters, I think I was a bit bored. That's a pretty damn good reason already.

Secondly, I am hoping to create a comic strip. A comic strip about the wide world of creative design - something like the lighter side of designing. It's got to be entertaining, funny and smart... (it's sounding shitty already). I have a feeling it'll lead me to nowhere in say, 2 weeks time, and I'll just give up.
The good thing about all of this is that I am making it up as I go. So there's no grand master plan from the beginning. One of the major rule is, I am not bothering with spell checking and grammar. So you English perfectionist critics can go screw yourselves.

Birth of a character

Hi all, its now... 11pm on a Fridays night, 30th May 2008. I am sleepy and this is what I came up with:
"HUH?" you huhed. Well, allow me to turn the clock back maybe half an hour ago? Say 10:30pm... Here I was, minding my own business, watching kung fu fighting on youtube, then suddenly I had an urge, a calling from some greater force, to create something good. The idea came to me like a punch from Bruce Lee:

Make a cartoon character. KAPOW.

So here I am... writing this newly created blog.

I guess in the next few days. weeks, months and hopefully not years, I will be able to slowly add to and modify my little baby until it reaches puberty. As I do that, I'm hoping to share this precious journey with you.

Now bed time.
