In Response To: Re: New Kabuki story?????????? (Gavin)

: No disrespect to Mack but most of his fanbase are from
: Kabuki.
: I love Macks work but it's Kabuki that's got me into him.

Thanks for reading my work and especially for looking forward to my future Kabuki work.

I am in the middle of working on a couple different Kabuki stories (I tend to write several Kabuki stories at the same time. Circle of Blood through Metamorphosis was all outlined together at the same time.) Most importantly, I'm in the important stages of the story for the new Kabuki storyline that I will be painting. It starts right where the Metamorphosis story began. I’m glad you are looking forward to it, because I think that now in Kabuki’s life is where things really get interesting.

Kabuki is definitely a long term project for me (one that I will be involved in for my foreseeable future). I love it very much and will continue to work on it for years and years.

I'd been working on Kabuki at a very disciplined breakneck pace since January of 93. During those years, I turned down 99% of every other work offer that I received in order to keep my focus on Kabuki. The last series especially was such an all consuming project (and took me over 2 years to complete) that I knew I needed to do a couple of other different things to sort of clear my head before immersing myself in the next Kabuki story. I figured I would do a couple of other projects to flex some different artistic and collaborative muscles.

It made sense to do a couple of these before plunging in to painting the next Kabuki story, because once I’m in the middle of the next Kabuki story, I won’t be able to consider anything else for he next 2-3 years. Of course I love doing Kabuki, but I get so many other story ideas that I don’t have time to explore when meeting the Kabuki schedule, that I felt like I should get a couple of these other ideas out of my system.

This kind of rhythm may be how I need to work to continue doing this on such a long term. RE: Do a hardcore, intensive, all consuming Kabuki chapter… then collaborate with a friend on another Kabuki character , and do some cover work or write some other stories, before plunging into the next painted Kabuki chapter again.

I’m still figuring all of this out. But I think that is part of the fun. So I hope you also will enjoy the journey with me. I have a hunch that in the grand scheme of things, the entire Kabuki storylines and my work in between those Kabuki stories will sort of compliment each other.
