This was fascinating! I love hearing the Inside Baseball stuff, and have a copy of the 'How Comics Are Made' book on order. This, together with your post regarding colour fastness of markers, is also sobering. A reminder of how all things decay, and what an effort it takes to fight that process.
This is absolutely fascinating! What fantastic work Allan does.
I'd be honoured to own A Distance Soil once it is released (although no pressure! I understand it's a huge undertaking and other projects must take precedence).
My first real understanding about anything comics was through the book from the kickstarter "How Comics Were Made". It's really amazing to see the details you share here too with appreciate for the business and creative sides! Thanks, Colleen.
I'm trying to learn to draw, and recently found out how different mechanical pencils and the 2B art pencils are. So seeing the difference between the pictures of your original art and the art from the negatives was fascinating.
I absolutely love reading about this part of the creative process. I don’t understand a lot about the production end of things but it’s great to try to understand the steps involved. Thanks for sharing.
I greatly appreciate your detailed explanations. I worked in a photo lab ( pre digital ) and printed large format 2 1/4 and 5x4 by hand an enlarger. I also worked for a newspaper- IT work on systems and thier big Roller printers. So some of this is familiar to me. But there is so much I did not know in the printing process. Thank you again!!!!

Printing and scanning has come a long way in the last forty years
It surely has!
Thanks I really love the behind the scenes look at all these processes.
Just incredible!!

How quickly eras come and go as the technology leaves what was made according to its requirements as detritus. Thank you, Colleen.
