WonJoolAai: It is a sad day that Michael Jackson is no more
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/06/it-is-sad-day-that-michael-jackson-is.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! It is a sad day that Michael Jackson is no more. It is sad because to me Michael Jackson was not just the super famous pop star with mind-blowing singing and dancing skills that had me and the world mesmerised as a child, he was also a true artist in the sense that he was a creator, pioneer and storyteller. But that never materialised. Labels: Michael Jackson dies.

WonJoolAai: Crap year capped by a great movie
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/12/crap-year-capped-by-great-movie.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Crap year capped by a great movie. In 1999 the movie The Blair Witch Project came out fuelled by hyped generated largely via the internet courtesy of a clever and creative marketing campaign, turning the low budget “mockumentary” into the most profitable movie ever made in terms of how much it cost to make versus the mega bucks it raked in. In contrast, Paranorma...

WonJoolAai: Step 3: The Drawing
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/05/drawing.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Step 3: The Drawing. I think it’s worth pointing out that I didn’t write a ty. Pical comic or graphic novel script. My script was written in the format of a film screenplay, from which I then did thumbnail page breakdowns. And to me it seemed that a screenplay would be far easier for people to read than a normal. Illustration was draining as hell, the longest and...

WonJoolAai: My (unbiased, I promise) verdict on District 9
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-unbiased-i-promise-verdict-on.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! My (unbiased, I promise) verdict on District 9. I was well aware of the hype and buzz surrounding District 9. Going in, and what that usually does is fill me with dread. Because more often than not, the movie does not live up to the hype and typically leaves me going, “uh. huh…? 8221; when the credits roll. The Dark Knight. And I was expecting that with District 9.

WonJoolAai: Step 4: Post-production and preparing for the printers (a.k.a MacGuyver phase)
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/05/post-production-and-preparing-for.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Step 4: Post-production and preparing for the printers (a.k.a MacGuyver phase). Why is it also known as the MacGuyver phase? But during the drawing process I was far away on a cloud being blissfully unaware, smiling and daydreaming about books rolling off the presses and floating off into bookstores like a scene out of Harry Potter. So instead of having the pages...

WonJoolAai: Why was I wired for art?
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-was-i-wired-for-art.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Why was I wired for art? This is one of those rant/vent kind of posts so if you don’t like that sort of thing then steer clear. Myself again asking the same old question. Why not football, or office work or agriculture or waving red flags to caution traffic? Bro with red flag. I can’t just be doing any kind of job. I’ve done that before and I felt...But if it com...

WonJoolAai: Step 5: Trying to sell the damn thing!
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/06/step-5-trying-to-sell-damn-thing.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Step 5: Trying to sell the damn thing! But also for people who do read, I think graphic novels offers a wonderful opportunity to gain a fresh perspective on what reading can be, and that a good graphic novel still provides the essentials of good fiction: a gripping story with engaging characters that gets you all excited and chatty. To be a total immersive experi...

WonJoolAai: Why was he the King Of Pop?
http://wonjoolaai.blogspot.com/2009/07/with-michael-jacksons-very-emotional.html
Chronicling the exciting yet (way too steep) uphill slog of a first time author who dares to call himself a graphic novelist . . . how dare he! Why was he the King Of Pop? The ingredients, which you’ll probably find separately in other people, go roughly as follows:. A great singing ability. A great dancing ability. Not fitting in with his peers and feeling like an outcast, which could have given him extra motivation to use his unusual abilities to gain respect and love from the public. His eagerness to ...
