I am currently in Philadelphia. For those of you who know, or care, I was born and raised in this city, but was forcibly moved to the seventh ring of hell. I was genuinely shocked by the humidity of the inferno, but the old people came as little suprise.
Anyway, I was inspired quite a bit today just walking the streets of center city, trying not to get mugged or god forbid asked for money by a homeless person (Christ, I swear, poor people should be shipped off to jupiter or something, they're the reason this country is so darn tootin bad and all), and I actually came up with a few ideas for a comic I'm working on, a few new characters, and a whole new plot which totally occured to me inbetween onion rings at a diner with my ex.
That is a long fucking sentance...
Anyway, in Vero Beach, I usually found it hard to get inspired, often watching movies and television, listening to depressing music, and reading alot of alot of alot, and talking to my girlfriend and friends for even a glimpse of inspiration. The whole basis of one of my ideas which came about in Hades was because I forced my mind back to Philly.
So I is curious how location effects some of the red guys. Kev, do you get your best ideas in places that feel desolate and deprived (strip bars, convience stores, malls, comic conventions where fan boys talk to you like they know you when in fact they're just some flaming faggot who you feel the need to wipe your hand off after shaking theirs)? Malcolm, do you get yours near... tailights.... I heheh... haven't seen uh...
Brian do you get yours on the bathroom inbetween jerks?
I am curious to know just because... No real reason...
Hey Kevin, what did you think of Preacher on a whole?
