1. What’s The Dreamland Chronicles really about?
SCS: Really Really about?
Well it’s about my fascination with dreams and fantasy. It’s taking all of the books I grew up on and trying to extrapolate the best of them all into something fun.
It’s something for my kids. Something for me.
It’s pushing the medium (using 3D animation software) further than I’ve ever pushed it to tell a story.
But if you want a synopsis of Dreamland…
It’s about a boy who goes back to the land of dreams he used to visit as a child. There he finds all of his childhood friends have grown up as well.
It’s about faith. It’s about remembering your innocence. It’s a romance story. And it’s just fun.

2. In your books you mention that the graphics are generated by a computer program that you commissioned. Care to elaborate?
SCS: Well I started using CGI to do comics back in 2002 when I did Spider-Man for Marvel comics.
It was an experiment and I think it came out ok.
But I knew I could do better.
Fortunately my animation studio was doing well. We were making some money on projects like Aliens vs. Predator and X-files.
So I was able to hire some extremely talented modellers and designers and such to help me create the world of Dreamland.
That was 6 years ago…and I’m still learning every day.
