Lately, I have had the gnawing urge of ambition to once again think about trying my hand at doing an anthology of cool comics by people that are producing first class work but who may not be that well known. I seriously consider doing this once every few months...there was a time that I knew a ton of talented cartoonists & artists that weren't professionally published and I thought how great it would be to do a big, impressive anthology, on the (ideally) same level as Kramer's Ergot or The Ganzfeld series.
The problem is: I have lost touch with a lot of those previously stated cartoonists, or they gave up comics to focus on their band or film career...things of that nature. I know there are tons of talented cartoonists out there....now, I guess, i just have to find them.
On a different note, I noticed that some of the last few things I have posted have had computer lettering. Generally, I letter by hand, but in those instances I chose to letter in Photoshop because of the nature of the pieces. Looking at them though, reaffirms my dislike of computer lettering.

ReplyDeleteThat is the most complicated and redundant sentece I have ever come up with.
I was dismayed to find that Mark Kalesniko is still using that horrible-almost-but-not-QUITE-hand-lettered-looking computer font for "Freeway"...he's the first "indie" cartoonist I could think of who uses computer lettering...loving your work by the way, sir.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have found that strange as well. An odd choice, to be sure. (I have only used it on personal projects and as mock-ups, never for printed material.)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you!
