Honestly tho, Nath, you did nine months plus of post-production work.

tiny photos too!
it's a 30's building so we wanted to give it a kind of cruise liner/ art deco feel without doing a pastiche.

Great banquette tufting, jed!
― I DIED, Friday, 15 June 2007 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link
thanks I DIED, i like yours.
the banquet is actually a bit of a disappointment to me - the buttoning should be deeper but hey, you get what you can afford. also i'm quite pleased that there are actually more seats than there were originally but the place looked absolutely full of chairs before.

Love the flier, Abbott.

Abbott, that flier is awesome. Nice tits!
I DIED, where is your restaurant? Does it exist yet?
― caek, Friday, 15 June 2007 21:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Those restaurants are both Washington DC area, one's in permitting right now and the other's in construction. I don't really care for either of those project phases.

i'm surprised dom earworm hasn't got you to do art for him shakey
I wouldn't say no, but he was, um uncommunicative when we tried to get something together in the past (previous incarnation of the band was slated to be one of earworm's final releases - didn't work out)
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:22 (sixteen years ago) link
(but hey anybody who wants some artwork done point 'em my way, I work for cheap and/or free)
GAH you guys are all fucking awesome. I hade no idea you did (extremely spectacular) arts, Shakey Mo.
Yr mouf painting is incredible (and incredibly creepy) Jeff.
And to answer yr question, PP, it was just with some inky ball point, like a midline-price 12-pack kind you get from office supply stores, and a Sharpie to fill in the blacker fields. Same as comics, yeah. If I want to print or scan them, I usually just photocopy them first, which yields crisp lines & perfectly even black fields w/out scratchy pen/overlapping Sharpie marks.
― Abbott, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't get to photocopy that one (it's the original), so it still has sharpie overlap lines. :(
― Abbott, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Shakey Mo, I am totally going to be in touch shortly.
― caek, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:32 (sixteen years ago) link
In the meantime Shakey, can you say a bit about how you draw your images? Pen and ink + colours in Photoshop? I am curious about the mechanics of it.

TOM, re: blowing up, did you try Live Trace yet? It might do a good job with your line art. See, e.g. http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2007/05/last_year_we_de.html
― caek, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I've gotta go right now but briefly process is - pencil sketch->lightbox + black old-school rapidograph pen->scan into photoshop->fill in colors
altho sometimes I'll add the colors prior to scanning and kinda work with those in photoshop
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:55 (sixteen years ago) link
(there's also a fair amount of collage work)

Particularly Judgement On Gotham, which was the first time I'd seen his work, and then further on his Doom Patrol covers. So slick and natural.

I've watched some fascinating interviews with Simon, where he talks about how when he paints it's almost subconscious, and that if he comes out of that trance then the lines he's drawing just lose their power.
Totally on board with that.

Hey Ledge, did you ever get that dip pen you mentioned? Been practising with one myself this week.
A little bit scratchy, probably a cheap nib, but really impressed with the type of natural line it produces. Also wanted to use better ink, not keen on those design pen inks (always say their waterproof but hmm not sure) and my fountain pen (with converter-cartridge) just struggled to get the ink flowing and always clogged up.
