Long after I drew the young math teacher, I found a photograph of the young Vincent Price in his memoirs that looked almost exactly like this, sans the moustache (oh, shut up, Spellcheck. “Dialogue.”).
I am SO jealous of the younger authors who don’t even have to think about how their books will get printed. Look what’s happening with color!
I would have killed to have these tools and publishing methods back then. We all would. We’re all chewing our fingernails in envy, while giggling gleefully over the new stuff. It is SO GOOD — including masses of stuff from BRAND NEW KRAUTGRLLS!
12 it a very odd age. The “young” ones still keep their teddybears and the “old” ones think they are 18 and ready to take on anything. They are hell at camp, and try to slip off during the nigth to flirt (or more!) with the local teen boys. Yes the girls are worse.
Take my word as a former camp counsellor.
Blue – I knew members of a submarine crew kept stuffed animals with the excuse it’s about kidnapping each other’s pets (yeah, right).
I know the girls are worse; the army’s not much different.
re: color and “omg art!!!!1!”
I think I still prefer your art, sometimes the artists get so enamored of their tools and the palette that they can forget it’s about telling a story, or making the image live.
hswoolve; so did I, but when I was around 19 or 20, I had an artists’ bonfire.
The kids today are so damn lucky to be able to show off everything they’re doing. I’m having so much fun with them over on http://rummelhart.deviantart.com
It’s like having that high school clique of artists I never got to have. I’m a bit giddy about it.
