Hello


This is the 'Pre-Blog' for the Skinz-n-Klowdz Drupal site...which is complicated and still under construction. So, needing a container to 'dump' all sorts of fun stuff in and needing also to get the conversation around Skinz'n'Klowdz started: we find ourselves here.

What it is: S'n'K is a graphic novel I am illustrating and writing that is the summation of my whole life's work in futurism -- in the technological, philosophical, and spiritual senses of that word. It is a far-future, 'speculative fiction' (SF) piece set in a world where money, work, nation states, poverty, and even death have become obsolete. Without the traditional focuses and fears of our current civilization, what are the fundamental motivators that would lie at the center of life?

  2. I am so happy to see you getting this "out there" for all of us to join, watch grow, and bear fruit (whatever fruit exists in your futuristic world that is). Although I loved Bruce Sterling's emphasis on "futility is freedom" I have a sense that your world is not futile! So happy... (skipping along and singing tra-la-la-la!!)
