Reconceptualization

Because I haven't been happy with the plot development, I have put this idea on hiatus for quite some time.  I'd like to scrap most of the characters and get inspired from a personal narrative from the 1980-1984 era.  This narrative should fit a Kenosha-like environment of that time.  When time allows, I will search for such a narrative.  I'd really like the human relationships to stand out as much as the dark humor like what was accomplished in Buffalo 66 and American Splendor.  Perhaps I don't have this gift as a writer, and need to find someone who does.

Since I stopped putting much this thought, the retro-futurism of the 1980s has waxed and perhaps is now waning in popularity.  I had been following the music blog AlteredZones.com until the authors stopped publishing new posts, and many artists on the blog fit the ambience I was looking for in Carnosha.  Com Truise is the artist that seems to best capture the feel.  Here's a sample of his work:
