Concrete Motion Comic (1992)

Here my Dragonfly Comic Book / Video of Paul Chadwick's "Concrete" story, "Watching a Sunset". (Now it would be called a "Motion Comic", but I did this back in 1992). Paul is one of my favorite comic book creators, really deserving of wider recognition. Concrete is Paul's best known work in a long and very creative career. I used the images from this video for the Dragonfly Flipz Concrete Comix Flipz book featured in on youtube channel. The original comic story, published in 1988, can be seen at the end of the flip book. Paul's Concrete, and other books, are still available from Dark Horse Comics.
The Concrete Comix Flipz book project, got sided tracked, mainly because I think the animation video needs to be updated using today graphic tools. I thought Concrete fans would enjoy seeing this. Hopefully more Concrete stories will get the full motion comic treatment.
Your comments are always welcomed.

Watching this very soothing and contemplative piece for the third time. It occurs to me that the ocean is often thought of as a symbol for the subconscious, and how a conscious mind may find themselves rejecting an added second skin and might long to attend to more subterranean levels of being if a "second skin" was granted them, regardless of the powers and abilities it may provide.
The metaphor may find expression in any number of multi-layered entity where will is at work. One may consider anything from the child who grows a "second skin" to protect themselves from trauma, to be sure, but the nature of the issue makes itself plain in the very overconscious, anxiety-inducing complexities that emerge when we grow layers of neurons to address everything from the mundanities of everyday life to General Unification Theory.
When I bring this multi-layered version of identity into view, the microscopic/telescopic capacity of this body that often befuddled me becomes an easy extension of this metaphor.
At higher levels, capacity to see and explore levels never before considered are now part of one's expanded world. One may wish to expand further, but tragedy must befall any who extend beyond the appropriate threshold without first some form of theoretical framework as scaffolding.
