I was just watching "Three Minute Philosophy" when I had a sudden thought: I am pretty lucky to be living when I am. The spread of technology and mass media, while dulling the masses and wrecking our culture, has also destroyed many illusions that have kept things unequal for so long.
When I was a kid, I was told how awesome Thomas Edison was, how he invented so much shit. Then when I was 18 I got a Barnes & Noble catalog in the mail. One of the books was about Nicola Tesla, the man Edison wanted to be.
The Internet loves Tesla, and for good reason, he was a mad scientist. Who doesn't love a mad scientist?
Waiting on word from my prospective new artist. I liked the rough drafts enough to commission full sketches in black and white.
Let's see what happens.
