Reflections
As this year comes to a close let’s look back on some of the Hi-Fi highlights for 2009. 1. Master Digital Color is a wrap We spent most of 2009 (& some of 2008) working on it but its in the process of being printed and will be shipped early next year to a store near [...]
Countdown #8: Knowing is half the battle…
I was out in the garage the other day looking for Christmas decorations. Searching for holiday cheer I had to move several large boxes full of comic books, Diamond Previews catalogs, and old copies of Wizard and Fan magazine when I stumbled across a small box containing some ancient Star Wars trading cards, a broken [...]
Them’s Fightin’ Words
I do have a point this week but you need some back story first so just go with me for a bit… I was reading an article the other day called “Fighting for our Lives” by Deborah Tannen. It’s not about what you think, it’s about words. (It was in an anthropology textbook so no [...]
Fake Tidings to All!
The holiday season is in full swing, how do I know? Well for one thing everywhere you go they are playing Christmas music. (I’m sorry I mean “winter holiday music”, although we all know that Christmas gets the biggest push here in the States.) Another clue is the fact that I received 14–no I’m not [...]
Countdown #9: Every journey starts with a destination…
A few years ago Kristy and I traveled from Arizona to Florida where we met-up with her parents to visit Walt Disney World for the Holidays. Her mother, step-father, and the family dog had arrived in fine style towing a fifth wheel style travel trailer behind their Chevy truck. All the RV campers and trailers [...]
12 Days of Christmas for Digital Colorists – Holiday Gift Guide
It’s that time of year again, time to start thinking about your holiday list’s. No matter if you are preparing for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa or Chinese New Year (you already missed Ramadan, sorry) you need to let people know what you want. There is no point in someone sending you socks when you could have [...]
An Ode to our Art
So, I’m checking out FB the other day and notice that local artist/illustrator Tony Parker is talking about an article he is mentioned in. Turns out that the dude who wrote the blog (where Tony directed us on FB) was really on NPR talking about comics and then wrote up what happened. Did you follow [...]
Countdown #10: Authors, editors, & contributors… oh my!
Kristy and I received the final proof for Master Digital Color from our editors at Impact Books this week and after some last minute tweaks and notes we have signed off on Master Digital Color: Styles Tools Techniques. Now you and I wait. We wait for the book to be printed and bound. We wait [...]
Digital Re-visit
We’ve already spoken about this briefly but I think it’s time to revisit… digital comics. Now I’ve mentioned many times that I’m an avid reader and I read all types of things (the last thing I read was History of Cannibalism and it rocked!) It seems that books, in general, are going digital. Barnes & Noble [...]
Season’s Greetings
I was wandering through the romance section at my local bookstore yesterday and noticed the halloween books are gone, the turkey day books are practically gone and we are inundated with Christmas stories. Now the stories I’m talking about are compilations. Several authors contribute to a “theme” book. It’s romance so the theme can be [...]
