seriously.

i need to make some books. for reals. i keep having all these ideas or creepy dreams, but as usual, when i try to put in down on paper it ruins any images i might have in my head. how do you guys do it??
actually, i guess both ideas are about apocalypses. and actually, one was micah's experience/idea.
he woke up to an extremely loud siren and the whole neighborhood was outside, all confused, and it was really weird and no one ever figured out what it was. false alarm for the end of the world?
i had a bizarre dream the other night though where a flesh eating virus killed most everyone. the rest of us lived on trains and in crazy hidden abandoned warehouses. it was actually kind of pretty though. minus the gory things. at one point i spoke with a living dead victim who was basically just muscles and blood and eyeballs and it was pretty intense. they were not very friendly.
my apologies for rambles. just had to put it in typing.

I've never been in New Mexico so pics are good. Near? Lord, it's at least a day's drive away.

Those are some pretty creepy dreams. And I can't get dreams on paper any better than you can... it never gets close. But try anyway maybe you'll get something cool (even if it doesn't well resemble your dream)

The best I can do is make something based on a dream. I had some pretty crazy dreams where I was this tall dude who could turn into a white coyote and I was working for this cripple who rode around on a giant bird and we were taking down the government and it was crazy. Would make a good comic, if a bit cheesy.

okay. well, it's way closer to you than to me! it took me a day by plane, i don't know how long it would take by car.
that's good advice. i will do some doodles and see what happens.
holy crap tati, comic yes please!
you realize with all our crazy dreams combined we would have one big insane world?
haha i almost sounded like captain planet "by your powers combined..."
i'm done geeking out now.

Awesome creepy dreams. I am all for comics and books being made! It is hard to get dreams onto paper though... They always turn into something else. I know I'm super late with this comment but I have lots of dreams about the apocalypse as well... Started attempting to write a story based on a really vivid dream about looking for my lost dream-girlfriend in a dystopian city of decaying coca cola signs and people were escaping on trains to secret forests and mountains that hadn't yet been eaten by urban sprawl and global warming.
