So, outside of being a scribbling loon, I'm a Gearhead, a Grease Monkey, a Wheel Man, call me what you want, I just LOVE the old cars. Specifically, I love the old cars with V8 Flathead engines, multiple Stromburg 97's no fenders and chopped tops. Alot of the MOON! vehicles will be heavily influenced by this passion for traditional rods and Kustoms, but it doesn't stop there. The very design of the MOON! studio itself will have the feel of those early petrol heads; partly decrepid, partly hopped-up, mostly done on a shoe-string with a wing and a prayer. Alot of the design of the additonal (non-story) pages will also be influenced by this type of machinery, and just as I was starting to plan out these at Christmas my uber-cool dad, (Mr Etherington to you), who's been talking of building a steam-powered car for ages, said he'd found a video on the web he thought I'd like. Lo and behold, there on the screen was a 30 second movie of some nutsy old guy gallently trying to remain in control of a STEAM-POWERED motorbike as it skittled through mud and spectators. Just Awesome. With this new-found love of all things steamy, I went away and tried to design a load of little valves and pipes and whatnot for MOON!, here's the first of those pages, more soon...

Lorenzo!
