I’m very happy to say I’m back on track with my PhD proposal now. The latest has been read by both of my supervisors and not once was it thought that I strayed too far, so I am over the moon about this! 😀
The focus has moved from animism in a general sense and is now focusing on the sea in a pre-Christian animistic context. It will be building on my previous paper on the role of water in the Gaelic Otherworld and will result in the creation of a wordless graphic novel. I am very excited to get started on this and to see where it takes me – just needs passing the initial submission once the final edits have been made so I cannot get ahead of myself.
On another ironic note, it’s been tricky to sit down and focus on art recently. I’ve been experiencing fatigue quite a bit and I think it’s due to stress. I started on a comic page but then the motivation was lost. Has anyone felt that before? Hopefully some fruit juice will be help me with that.
We have our next round of Comics of the Week!
Week of Feb 09 – 15
What Lies Beyond
Three very different looks at what lies beyond the veil of our own plane.
The Bright Side – ‘The Bright Side’ is the story of a girl named Emily who befriends Death. Together, they grow and learn and are forced to challenge everything they think they know…
Numb – Susan and Levi are childhood friends who have drifted apart. However Levi ends up in an accident that has something else behind it than just careless street crossing. Old strains are being brought up and something sinister is lurking around.
Ash in the Wind – Alexis Brangwyn is a disillusioned college student who has lost interest in the real world until she discovers a mysterious book about a local legend. Seemingly by fate, she gets a chance to investigate the site (with her crush!), but when the two end up lost in another reality, they ask themselves if they truly want to return home.
