Good meeting today with a new collaborator--artist and creator Mike Lindow aka Manike (who I call Dow). we're working on a new project temporarily entitled "oZone." this is going to be something truly unique. we're going to use art, photography, digital video, animation and create a true mixed-media project. Dow's been playing around with some looks that feel natural and right for the project--I think we can really pull off something that people take notice of worldwide. cross your fingers for us! oZone is a play off of Wizard of Oz--and our story is about a modern-day "Dorothy" who ends up in Tokyo, but realizes her family, who she left in the States, is special to her. There are similar themes with Princess Ai, but oZone brings in the fun characters of Wizard of Oz and turns them upside-down. After we get going on this some more, perhaps we'll post some early looks. Please e-mail me or post a comment to LMK if anyone wants to see the early stuff.

BTW I noticed no one is commenting on my "blob." Are you guys reading anymore, or did you give up on me when I wasn't updating it? I'm updating it now so plz come back and give me a chance!! Or do I really need to move all this over to My Space...? I'm so torn...

But thx for all the e-mails I'm still getting!

stay tuned for the new project: oZone
