Re: Repost of questions for Mack!!! Posted By: MACK! In Response To: Repost of
questions for Mack!!! (Patrick Wedge) : Hey David,
Hi Patrick,
: Just got the Kabuki 1/2 issue this last week finally and He had a great affect on me mostly because of his encouragement to me
as a young artist. I was writing letters to him when I was in high school.
Probably starting when I was 16. He was very encouraging to me and
answered a lot of my questions and offered me his opinions, suggestions,
and constructive criticisms. Hopefully, I'm able to pass on a little of
that kind of thing when I'm speaking at conventions and on this message
board.
: 2. You mentioned Miller, Parobeck, and Mignola as big Mostly storytelling choices are what I learned from each the the people
that you mentioned. Each of them have a very unique way of storytelling.
They each have certain subtleties that I think most people miss. And I was
fascinated with the story telling that is in the subtext of their work.
They understand how to imbue power BETWEEN the panels, not just in the
panels themselves.
: 3. Could you explain once again the little triangle Well, the way it started is this: Whenever I talk on the phone (even as
a little kid) I do a lot of mindless drawing that I pay no attention to.
But I realized that I don't really draw any actual renderings. I just draw
all these strange kind of designs and shapes. Like geometric patterns and
mazes. But they still seemed fascinating to me.
So i wanted to integrate that kind of unconscious design into my very
deliberate conscious layouts and storytelling. I wanted to blend the
analytical with the intuitive. So I started integrating it in two main
ways.
1. I sometimes use it as a pattern inspired by the way that Gustav
Klimt used geometric design.
2. I also use it as an element of design in the actual story telling,
in that it is a graphic element that leads the readers eye to the order of
the page, the heirarchy of the compositions, or points to things in the
page. It tells them what is most important in the page, and in what order
to read it. Sort of like road signs.
: 4. Knowing that Bill Sienkiewicz is a big influence with Thanks, I have it. It is great. He's a sweet guy too.
: Wanted to let you know, Lee and myself donated the pages Thanks ANd you did a good job on that. You should be real happy with it.
: Anyways, always good to see more Mack stuff around. Love Thanks again,
