Hello gals and boys, here with another update and sorry again for the last week that I could update. The reason as I mentioned before, I was preparing a some stuff to get put my web-comic in the funding program at Ulule.com.

So now you can support my web-comic. The following 5 days are really important. Getting support from at least 5 people will make Tinkers of the Wasteland appear in the front page of Ulule.com (website like Kickstarter but in France). Maybe you may not be able to help me fund it? No worries! Please spread the word, I would appreciate it:http://www.ulule.com/les-arsouilles/

I strongly recommend you to follow the link. A poster never seen before will be there and a video as well.

Thanks for your time!

1. I’m preparing a video for a website called Ulule.com which works exactly like kickstarter.com. The intention is to raise funds to try to get some cash doing Tinkers of the Wasteland. If this is not possible, don’t worry, the web-comic will continue on the road as today.

2. I’m taking a writers course and I need to finish some assignments. I’m starting a novel that I have faith you’d like once finish with it.

3. I made a trip that it didn’t left me so much time to continue doing my duties. This weekend I fulfilled one of my dreams, I went to the island of Hashima / Gunkanjima, Japan. A deserted island since 1974 with a post-apocalyptic look. I’m sharing here the story I wrote in my diary. I cannot say that the text is ready to be read by you but I tried to do my best to translate it. Talk soon.

South of Japan, Hashima Island / Gunkanjima, 2012.

When I left the harbor I could see a lot of ship factories. Huge framed metal structures embracing the incomplete bodies of whales of steel, made by titanium and carbon fiber getting ready to be born. The sea was rocking the ferry while I was heading to the island and as I went in to the sea, the waves were getting stronger and there was a possibility of not being able to arrive at the island. Meanwhile, from the top of the ferry I was filming and watching the landscape. I did not know if the sea breeze or light rain drops interposed between the lens of my camera and the abandoned island. But I wasn’t worried about it, I was enjoying the encounter. It looked impressive when I was going to arrive. A place that hides behind it good memories and experiences of abandonment. Hashima Island, is best known as Gunkanjima, “battleship” in english. It was discovered in 1810, and at the same time they realized that under the island it was the fossil fuel from the times of industrial revolution, the coal. That one than the land itself takes years to make, and for men it takes hours to be consumed. Mitsubishi company bought the island in 1890 in a hundred thousand yen, about a thousand five hundred dollars. For sure in those days it was a fortune. A hundred years later, when the island was no longer able to give more of itself, when coal was not longer housed in the depths of the earth, the inhabitants abandoned the island in January 1974, being totally deserted in April of that year . I could see a wall where a little boy left a message saying “Please take care of my fish golden fish and my bird, I have to leave.”

Since the island is only 25 minutes by boat from the city of Nagasaki, I can imagine that the inhabitants of the island witnessed from afar the mushroom cloud that caused the atomic bomb in 1945. To my great surprise, the tour guide, was one of the locals that told me that when the explosion occurred, he felt the island shook.

I could take a picture with the guide, because for me it’s great that I could met one of the people who took part in this story.

Definitely I would repeat this kind of experience. I felt free, it made me feel amazed, the island imposed by its mystery and abandonment. A monster of concrete that if it can talk about what happened, I definitely would like to hear it.

Hello girls and boys,

As you know I couldn’t update last  week. I took a break but not doing anything. I was polishing Tinkers’ plans. There are some improvements that I did to the story in order to add more pages at the beginning and being able to set the plot in a better way. I need to draw at least 12 pages and they will be included once I finish with this story arc that is close to the end. I assume by July of this year (2012) we’re going to see the end of the first season. However, my intention is to make adjustments mostly to all the pages and print the book that is going to be made by at least of 250 pages, b&w, color cover.

My plan is to publish online another arc of the story after this is finished. I already have the script and a bunch of pages drawn. There are new characters, and new adventures. Meanwhile, please continue enjoying the ride and thank you for your support and interest on this project.

Raúl
