The Gawain Project: a history and an introduction
Sunday, 16 November 2008 06:21 pmYou don't want to know how many drafts of this post I have on my mini-laptop. I discovered that I was fated to make this thing too long and too full of needless deviations, no matter how often I started over. That is the reason why I am only now introducing a project with which I have been toying since August.
If you are one of five people keeping an eye on my other Sleeper’s Den on Blogspot, you already know that I have once more entered an Arthurian phase. I really have no idea what triggered it; it’s not as though my professional activities are in any way conducive to fantasising about knights -- or maybe they actually are, by virtue of being very prosaic and pushing all my crazy creative imagination in one direction. In any case, I suddenly got it into my head to draw (short -- that is, non-epic-scale) comics about my very favourite among all knights of the Round Table, the amazing Sir Gawain.
( My history with Gawain )
The working title of my current Gawain Project is The Ladies' Knight. That is one of Gawain's 'official' titles (another one is the Knight with the Golden Tongue), and obviously the aspect of him that interests me most *g*. I will be introducing the main characters and showing pictures in coming posts. I hope you enjoy them :-).
