Publisher's Synopsis
Bad Hair Day This book is more about art then anything else. It's true that it is a comic book or maybe a graphic novel but I hope people will see the art. I started this project with a thought in my head and went right to paper. I started with the art first. I had the characters in mind and had drawn them many times. I know that the main characters were from outer space and had super powers. I knew that their powers were in their hair. The powers of fire and water seemed natural, but I added plant life. I thought because of title Bad Hair Day They should be women. Before I begin drawing that was all I new about my super hero's. I did not let that stop me, again I started to draw. Page by page an incredible story was being created right before my eyes. From my mind onto paper I was visually writing a story. I had no experience in drawing a comic book. I concentrated on my art and my imagination. Before long I had created a pretty good story line, all in pictures. Next I wanted to add words to my story book, but how? Do I add bubbles to my drawings, like a traditional comic book? I've read some graphic novels where they put the dialog at bottom of the page and decided that's what I'll do. It didn't take much time to realize that what I had drawn was way too much of story. That a few lines at the bottom a page would not be enough to tell the story of my pictures. I went page by page but wrote in long form. Perhaps the hardest thing for me was to type my hand written manuscript. I had some help and eventually got it done. Next I colored the art work and finally inked my project and I thought I was done. No need to bore anyone with all the time it took, after that point to get to this point, but the work had just begun.
