Hey spacers! 

I’m sorry for the radio silence - but I have been hard at work on a Bad Space project! 

In short I’ve been developing a pitch to create Bad Space series for screen. In fact, my plan is to create a series of pitches, that can be used to promote Bad Space to prospective backers. 

The video footage is from some rough material we've been working on to visualize some of my stories a little more (I've worked with some other artists to do this, which is so much fun!). 

Does that mean a TV series is getting made?

Not yet, I’m afraid. But it does means we can make sure the stories get noticed by the right people. It also means that I can control the concept a lot more from the get-go. Which wouldn’t be the case if I just handed over the stories as they are to someone else. 

This is important to me, because I feel like a lot of screen sci-fi has been stuck in a rut for a while, and I would like to introduce viewers to the kind of brutal, idea-driven sci-fi that I don’t feel gets much airtime. Not just cg spaceships and robots, but full-spectrum sci-fi that creates immersive, deeply thought-out worlds with hard AF science.

This is my chance to push that concept. 

What does that mean for you?

More art and animation as I create it - basically the inside scoop as I expand Bad Space into something that could work as a series. 

I know conversely this has meant less comics from me lately, but it also means you are enabling me to create so much more as a result! I would love your continued support to do this. 

My graphic novel

I am committed to continuing to work on this. It is on the pause for the next couple of months, but I love the idea too much to just let it slide. 

Thanks for listening, team. I can’t wait to share more.

"Soap opera but, in the *future*" is the pitch that seems to get greenlit most of the time. Looking forward to learn more about the story elements. You always have something interesting to say.

Psyched. I agree modern sci-fi cinema is in a rut (only Alex Garland and Black Mirror have anything new to say. Villeneuve and LDaR are good, but those are adaptations of existing stories). Your brand of Arthur C Clarke style hard/philosophical sci-fi is sorely needed for the screen!

Yeah, there is still amazing stuff happening out there, particularly with the creators you mention. But talking to producers recently and those in the industry, they confirm that Netflix and Disney et al are totally focused on science fiction that will appeal to an 8yr old audience, not adults. Finding a way around that mentality is a serious focus for me.

Hahaha - so true! Well, if I do end up doing soap opera, I will at least ensure that the future they are living in will be like nothing else that is being done.
