Comment on The Friday Cool: My true motivation for making comics by Martin

Martin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:49:33 +0000

Allow me quote from the Book of Javen. Chapter 11 verse 37: “It’s not about being able to draw. It is about getting there early and getting the best seat.”

Though the King James version captures it much more elegantly…

Comment on The Friday Cool: How they make the Cheetos by Erin

They’re on break. Those aren’t the Cheetos that end up in a bag. Either that, or their quality employees and licking them to make sure their cheesy enough, then putting them in a bag.
I love their beard-nets. They make them for mustaches, too. Stylish.

You know, if people knew it was called “cataglottism,” they might be less inclined to do it.

Comment on The Friday Cool: Jim Lee paints Wonder Woman with iPad by javen

I use Sketchbook Pro 2010 (the desktop version) and Adobe Illustrator CS5 (recently upgraded from CS4), both are quite a bit more expensive than Scribbles, which I got in some bundle purchase or another.

If you’re interested in digital art, you really should invest $100 in the cheap Wacom Bamboo tablet. They are surprisingly fun and easy to use once you get used to them.

(sorry for ignoring your comment for so long. it got stuck in “approve or spam?” limbo)

This reminds me, I was going to ask you what apps you typically use with your tablet. And have you ever tried out Scribbles by atebits LLC? ( http://www.atebits.com/scribbles/ ) I’ve played around with it using my trusty ol’ mouse, but I think it would really fly with a better drawing interface…

What do they do when they hit a pot hole. They’re pretty low-slung…

Wish I could help more with the time factor.

Comment on Q-Burger goes bi-monthly by Mom

Sorry to think you don’t have the time you need to practice and also produce. You are doing such fun work with the Winchcombe strip, and QBurger is your experimental toy, so it’s a good choice. Hope everyone is getting/staying healthy. I’m almost all over the cough–what a germ that was!
See you soon.
