My desk is full of flowers, not files.
A few years ago, I had the great privilege to work with J Michael Straczynski on a series called The Book of Lost Souls. Issue 3 was a particularly compelling installment.
A young girl, haunted by her dead lover, lives on the street and dreams of a life as an artist. She’s haunted by a voice: a voice Jonathan describes as “The Voice of Reason and Resentment.”
The voice of madness is the voice that says, “Someday people will listen to me.”
It is the voice of madness that says, “I will make little black marks on pieces of paper, and those marks may one day change the world.”
It is the voice of madness that whispers to us in the midnight silence. “I am not what you see. I have dreams, and though I have nothing tonight, tomorrow I will escape this place.”
The voice of madness is the voice that believes, despite all evidence to the contrary, that sustains us when logic demands we surrender to the louder voice – the Voice of Reason and Resentment. And it always comes in the guise of those who love us most, who only want the best for us. And the knives come softly, oh, so softly…”I’m just trying to protect you…”
Listen to your voice of truth. It only sounds mad to people who can’t hear their voice.
Have some more flowers.
Most sincere thanks to today’s sponsor James Keefe, whose kind donation will buy the coffee fuel that brings you the comics!
This portrait of Niniri was drawn for Brian Holst, who has the unfortunate distinction of being about the only person who had a remarqued edition shipment disappear between here and the Swedish customs department. I had to redraw his entire order!
I really like the way this piece turned out. It reminds me of the work of my old mentor Frank Kelly Freas! He never met a star-clad space girl he didn’t like.
I still have copies available of each edition, with FIVE copies left of Volume I (and I was very surprised to find a couple more tucked away in the rafters.)
