PROLOGUE

CHAPTER ONE, EPISODE ONE










I officially began this work in 2004, that is, began it as a viable comic. For years this story has existed either in my daydreams or as sketches in sketchbooks. It finally began to take serious shape in 2003, and I decided if I was worth my salt I would have to make it into a serious work. Since I have always been a huge fan of comics and I can draw well, it was a no-brainer to make a graphic novel. I began by making the drawings and using Photoshop to finalize them and construct a page. I have always been an artist, and my focus is on large abstract painting and installation(you can see this at www.jasonnickel.net), so beginning a graphic novel was a large undertaking. Luckily, I have a strong background in drawing and learned to draw as a youth, essentially, by reading comics. After I began the graphic novel, with every intention that it would be printed (some day), I discovered the never-ending world of webcomics.....I soon realized the awesome potential of this medium for truly innovative graphic storytelling and reaching a large audience. This work is a great experiment for me and my style and expertise will grow as the work grows. Keep updated because this will be an immense work of art someday....
