Hi RIck,
I do take photos of my work sometimes.
Ocassionally, I have taken photos of the work in the process so I can put the photos of the stages of the work in the upcoming art book.
Let me know if you have something more specific in mind. |
This is also Medical Popcorn formly ultimatehulkeye. . I guess i was wondering if it just takes practice or something to get a great picture. Alot of your art work for the daredevil covers were "3D" but didn't look hokie when put in 2d on the cover like most "3D" covers i've seen. Just wondering if theres any quick tips for making a picture look good. If its more involved or you have to think about it alot don't worry about.  |
I see what you mean.
I don't do it the conventional way.
If the page is a little 3D but less than an inch or so from the background board, I just let it be scanned in that way and let the shadows fall where they may.
Or I take photos of things and then collage the photos of the 3D things onto the board and layer it that way.
There are a few tricks like that I just figure out in the process.
I don't have a fixed method for it, but just work it out on a case by case basis.
Much of the 3D stuff is just right on the rest of the board and I just send it in that way. And it is just scanned like that. |

Hi Dave, it's Peter Dixon from Paradise Comics. I heard you are thinking of coming to our show. We would love to have you! I have sent you a few emails but haven't heard from you so I'll try and get in touch with you here. About the border, that will be no problem. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can figure it out. Andy said he was going to come this year when I talked to him in Columbus.
Hope to here from you soon.

So I was considering not going anymore.
Any suggestions? |
man, this is the kind of shit that turns people off coming here...
i think "the last ronin" knows some people at the post or something, cause he knows about stuff like this... i really can't give any suggestions, since i'm not familiar with these things...
i dont know, maybe you can get a letter from someone (i dont know exactly who though) saying it's okay for you to take art and comics into canada? (i'm no help...)
hope you wont have any problems with your stuff...
i'll try to make it to the con, although i'm very short on cash now... maybe i'll see you there... will you sign my Scarab trade ???  |
Of course I'd sign your trade!
I really would like to go. I really like the people, and the city.
And Bendis going gives me another good reason to go.
But the customs procedure last time really turned me off.
I remember deciding then that I wasn't going to go through it again.
But I do have a great time at the show and with the people there. I love Torontoans and Canadians! |
Awww, we love you too!
