I intended to reply last night, but my ex (the one with whom I'm on good terms) called and knocked me off-line after I had written such an excellent reply. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, I resolved to write this morning, to say that at this point, I feel as though I now know all I need to know (currently, anywhos) about both John's wonderful linemaking, as well as the wash process. Thanks for enlightening me, and taking the time to write such a lengthy blog on questions I'm sure you have been asked multitudes of times prior. Best to you and yours,<BR/><BR/>HeathHeath Lailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043595399178295176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15861891.post-1141046674556276482006-02-27T08:24:00.000-05:002006-02-27T08:24:00.000-05:00Odd you should talk about wash in such depth, as j...Odd you should talk about wash in such depth, as just yesterday (and you know what kind of a day that was) I turned up Bizarre Adventures #33 -- I hadn't seen a copy in several years -- and commented to K about how your beautiful washes were mangled by the printing, and how you gave up that technique as a result of the dissatisfaction. It begs the question of how much should an artist limit oneself if the intended publication process is known to be substandard. Just think of the bite page in that Dracula story, the mud of it, and how the heart sank upon first opening the printed work and seeing whayt a hack job was done to it. It made you decide not to persure ink washes with the vigor of your previous approach, and perhaps folks like Heath might want to avoid such pain. But really? Isn't that very struggle a learning tool. I always regretted you giving up on the direction your stuff was taking in that grey watercolor area -- but nowadays, with printing so much better, perhaps this might not be the issue it once was. By the way, the back cover -- Varnae -- scared the living shit out of little Leo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
