The Solar Grid – Chapter 04
THE SOLAR GRID #4: "What Has Sunk May Rise" is now live! It is 86 pages of genre-bending poli-scifi madness with some particularly kooky backmatter by James fucking Harvey!
The series has been described as "intoxicating & ambitious" by Flickering Myth, "dark & thought-provoking" by The Beat, and "one of the best science fiction comics coming out of anywhere" by Comic Bastards. And all that only covers chapters 1-3. This fourth chapter (over a year in the making) takes things to a whole new level.

WRITES
Cyborg Ella
There were machines that could do Ella's job, but they were too expensive and awfully high maintenance. They only made sense if you had a farm triple the size of Maggie's. Only then would you grow enough Jivama to make up for a single machine's cost. And besides, Maggie figured, Ella was half machine anyway, and doing a fine enough job so far.
CYBORG ELLA is the latest short story in the TIMES NEW HUMAN series. I can only really describe it as Cinderella meets Maggie's Farm (the Bob Dylan song), set in a kind of Moorcockian world.

That reminds me:
I also need to write two short stories this month if I want to stay ahead of schedule. 😳
Remember when I talked about the shoot-self-in-foot method? It works, it really does!

TALKS
Unwanted Stories
"Through the art of science fiction, [Ganzeer] created a world where Human Beings are rare and Americanism is an ancient religion, practiced by the persecuted few, who fight to preserve the purity of the country’s ideals."

VIDEOS
Ganzeer Says! Live Studio Tour
I did a livestream last week and not without a few technical hiccups along the way, it being my first time and all. But did manage to get it going, and towards the end got to answer some folks' questions about some process stuff.
Will likely do it again soon, but once I get me a better webcam, because the one on this dying Macbook Pro is shiiiiiiiiit.
