Atheist Thai Woman In Space

Story #6/Freethought

2012-02-03T02:39:00.000-08:00

I started Story #6 on January 31, 2012 Tuesday at 10:35 PM. So far, I'm having a good time with it. I think after this one I will illustrate the introduction story that sets everything in motion.

I attend a Freethinkers group in my town and the free-thought author George H. Smith just happens to live in my town and attend the group also. George wrote "Atheism: The Case Against" in the early 1970's and him and I may collaborate on making one-panel-comics about free-thought and skepticism.

Story Number Five Finished

2011-11-24T01:16:00.000-08:00

I finished the story of issue number five of my Atheist Thai Girl graphic novel series on the evening of November 7, 2011. I am currently attempting to finish all of the illustrations on every page. I finished the illustrations on twelve pages. The story is 33 pages long.

I hope to finish this one in December 2011. I haven't made up my mind on whether I'm going to do story number six or the introduction story next.

Atheist Thai Girl Story 5

2011-10-26T03:12:00.001-07:00

I started story number 5 on October 8, 2011, the day after I helped a friend finish packing to move to another state. This story is still being created and I am enjoying the process. In this story, the Atheist Thai protagonist attempts to help a homeless woman survive a blizzard that hits town. The homeless woman is named "Eva" and she is an extension of the selfish character "Eva" from the wonderful film "Stroszek" by Werner Herzog.

Currently, it is windy and nice out. It is 5:14 AM October 26, 2011. I am listening to the album "No Comment" by Front 242.

Number Four Is Finally Complete

2011-09-30T23:41:00.000-07:00

I finished all of the incomplete illustrations in the fourth Atheist Thai Girl story. I am very pleased with this. I will begin either the fifth story or the Introduction story shortly. The fifth story will be about the Atheist Thai Girl attempting to help a homeless person survive a blizzard.

I am currently sitting outside. It is 44 degrees Fahrenheit outside now, October 1, 2011 at 1:51 AM in Bloomington, IL and it is nice except when it is occasionally breezy.

... also, I currently have the song "The Bells" by Phil Ochs stuck in my head.

Almost Finished With The Illustrations Of Story #4

2011-09-01T05:08:00.000-07:00

I keep getting pulled away from finishing the illustrations in six pages of my fourth story. Once I am finished, I plan to work on story #5 and then do the 2 or 3 issues that are meant to take place before the first issue is completed.

I posted a blog about this with greater detail on my DeviantArt main page. My profile name on DeviantArt is "deadavalanche," which is a title I selected because at the time I couldn't think of anything else and I wanted to try out the website immediately.

Currently: I have the song "Concentration Moon" by Frank Zappa & The Mothers in my head. I am sitting on a porch facing the sunrise at 7:19 AM. I have been up all night socializing with friends and playing badminton in the nearby park before dawn. Now, I will go home and go to bed.

Zappa You Doing?

2011-07-24T01:05:00.000-07:00

I finished my fourth installment in the Atheist Thai Girl series. It is 34 pages long. I still have to go back and finish the art on 9 of the pages. Lately, I have been trying to organize the details of the Thai woman's life before the moment the series begins in her adulthood just after arriving in America.

I am also trying to plan out the fifth installment in the series. I have multiple ideas, but I am having trouble picking one.

Anyways, I had four drawings published in a local community college magazine called "Muse." I received a free copy of the magazine at its release party. The magazine costs seven dollars for anyone who did not submit art to it.

I am currently listening to "We're Only In It For The Money" (1967) by Frank Zappa/The Mothers Of Invention

3 Issues Finished

2011-01-22T22:37:00.001-08:00

I have finished three Atheist Thai Girl comics so far. The first comic was actually 38-pages long, not 37, the second comic is 31-pages long, and the third is 34. I have scanned two of these comics completely. I am still working on the third since it takes so long. I am enthusiastic about beginning the next one. I have not posted anything of it here because I am unsure if that is a good idea. I figure anyone could come along and steal my ideas. I am unsure what to do to spread any minor awareness of my graphic novel other than word of mouth.

I need to acquire Photoshop

2010-07-01T20:47:00.000-07:00

Before I can post any artwork on here or my latest 37-page-long, I want to acquire Photoshop so that I may be able to place decent copyright tags on my pictures that are not as intrusive. This may take a while as there are 37 pages to the comic. Again, the comic is about my thai atheist woman character being confronted and ambushed by people possessing less intelligence than her. Please, be patient.

I have finished my latest story!!

2010-06-30T22:05:00.001-07:00

Finally, I have finished the story of my new Thai woman comic. I have not finished every panel of the comic for every page yet, such as the backgrounds and various details. The new comic is 37 pages long. It was originally intended to be five pages long, but I kept expanding it.

In this comic, the Thai woman attempts to submit art at the local Bloomington Center for Performance Arts, but is delayed through an extreme and violent series of coincidences that make her life worse. She is confronted by corrupt pedophile cops, Aryan Nazis, religious maniacs, and an extensive variety of subhumans. I cannot wait to post it in my blogspot to have people other than my closest friends read it.

Here is a link to my Deviant Art page. I have been thinking about what art I want to post in this personal blogspot. It has been hard to decide whether or not I should post entire drawn stories, individual drawings, or both.

My Muhammad the islamic prophet drawing...

A member of Deviant Art named TheNewClams used (with my permission) a drawing I made of the islamic prophet Muhammad in a compilation video on youtube. My drawing is the third picture panel.

Atheist Thai Woman In Space

2010-05-19T18:35:00.000-07:00

I have been drawing my Thai skeptic woman for almost 2 years and I still have not come up with a good name for her. I want the atheist skeptic thai woman to have an official given name and surname. I think this makes the character easier for readers to identify with. I have written and drawn a few complete stories about her encountering religious zealots, new age morons including Deepak Chopra, and the ku klux klan. Every story is meant to be a satire of various particles of the American culture. The thai woman constantly meets these people and tries to explain to them why these people should question their views.

Thanks, Xie-Xie, Cam-on

I would like to thank Bret Ioerger for giving me the idea to create this blog and I would like to thank Marion Sakaluk for assisting me in creating this blog last night. Meow.

I have just created my first official blogspot. My purpose is to advertise my artwork here.
