The story behind the five continents
The five continents was the firt book i wrote and drew in my life at the age of nine so there's kinda a special bond with it. It always touches me when i see it. When i look at the handwritten papers and paintings.
Begun as a childhood game as a fascinating imagination... As a kid with a multicultural influence, been born in the times of tv, and screen revolution. Movies cartoons and space fiction has been a part of my life.
As someone said "if there's a story that you wanna read but it's not written yet then you must write it" this is how i begun this kind of art activity game, call it however you like! HAHA! So for me it was... if there's a movie or a cartoon you wanna watch and it hasnt been made yet then you should make it! I wanted to make it a theater performance a movie something i can take part on in and act! To pick the actors and direct it as i want! Of course as a kid i could not do that so i put it in life by drawing and writing my episodes! aka chapters. And then i was sharing the roles to my friends and we were "playing it" as a game. For example Oh! we're the five continents we have to fight the aliens now!" and things like that.
I was always taking the role of America as she was my favorite and i created her after my idols warrior women and action women of the screen. I could also relate to her and her character a lot.
Europe was also played by my best firend. Because there was a strong bond betwen these two sisters. She and America make the contrast at the story. As they are different. The oldest sister and the youngest sister. The fire and the water. America must look dark colored like native American and Europe must look like nordic blonde. I think these two were the main protagonists of the story and the characters that i gave them the most depth. Probably because i was influenced by these two mostly in my everyday life.
Some of my influences for "the five continents" project has been 2004 cartoon show "Duck Dodgers" and 90's tv show Xena Warrior Princess.
"The five continents" series contain four books. Two that were writen in my early childood (The n1 and n2) and other two i wrote now ("The five continents and the second world war" and "The five continents and the twin sister of earth").
"The five continents" walked long road till it finally got publish on www.easywriter.gr a great e-book shop, something that is incredibly awsome for me and it's been my big childhood dream!
It was the first book i wrote and drew
