The Process
I am most excited to re-learn the creative process with this project as my vehicle for the experience. For too long I had unknowingly forced myself to submit creatively to any number of phobia pertaining to my work and the eventual acceptance or rejection of said work.
Allowing myself the time and space to create in a fluid manner without self imposed limitation has changed the very way I experience life. I am already indebted to this liberation and I've only just begun.

BTDM: Season Zero. "Early Morning Flight along the lake shore"
Ink Pen, Sharpie and White Out On 17 lb paper
Limiting Myself and Others
It took me about a week to understand why I'd hit a rut so quickly after declaring my intent. I'd set the parameters of this project as loose as I could and then set to conforming them to the idea of the "story". This is exactly what I've wanted to avoid.
I became preoccupied with fleshing out the conflict and relationship the main character would experience and therein the limitations and ends that Narrative places. Within the first two days I'd grounded a story about flight.

Welcome to Beat the dead Man Season Zero. Season Zero is a prequel of sorts to the Kickstarter project that I have been developing for Beat the Dead Man Season One. If I've learned one thing about myself, its that I need a running stat before I take any leaps. Season Zero is it.
I'm looking forward to working without the limitations that I normally place on myself. My hope is that the blog format will enable me to post pages from the comic at my pace with the only limitation being a deadline of at least one posting a week until completion.
My aim for this project is six issues. What we eventually define an issue as is a wholly different idea. Anyway, thanks for checking it out. I hope that we both get something positive out of this endeavor. Thank you for letting me share with you.
