Can never quite get rid of this particular monster, can you?
Here are the inks for my latest set of ‘Clamcakes.’ These are all hand done. I’m quite old school that way, kind of. While I can do these digitally, I much prefer the hand drawn approach. At the same time, I can do them (and have done them) with the really old school Crow Quill pen(s) and ink well. I love inking them that way, but it takes longer. So, I use Fudenasuke “brush” pens and Micron pens.
In this era of everything being digital, particularly with the advent of AI, I feel it’s more important than ever to keep these techniques alive! And, until they come up with an autopen for drawing, this will remain a human endeavor.
I am putting together a newspaper comics section. Here is the very first illustration of 2025 – the Header. I am planning on this being filled with several of my comics, as well as some games/puzzles, and a readers section. I’m also planning to offer this both on-line, and in print. Haven’t decided if, for the print edition, I will go broadsheet (large), or Tabloid. I’m leaning towards tabloid for a number of reasons.
The print version will be quarterly. On-line version probably through “Sub-stack.” Both by subscription.
