I'm not hip...I'm a cruiser of the Internet, and I pick up things here and there that seem interesting, and I share what seems appropriate here (some hits, some misses). As soon as I discovered Poser, I had this nudge of an idea that it would be fun to do a graphic novel but my muse has taken a hike so I am left to admire what other people are doing. At least you have some ideas. I wouldn't know where to start...I think I don't have the artistic ability to sustain a story in graphics over the length of a novel (I'm not worried about the words...that I have covered). The graphic novel is alive and well, and even libraries are having to give space to them...this is quite a change in philosophy because many librarians haven't considered comics and/or graphic novels to be either art or literature, when, in fact, I think they can be both.
