Thanks Joakim! I found the black border/white border
then then the large amount of blacks in the picture
really make it jump (and lets take a moment to mourn the
pitt pen that worked on that picture).

JB, I can't believe someone would have the temerity to
take it upon themselves to just trim up that Kirby page.
Even if they didn't know what it is exactly they were
holding, it's still an item dropped off by a customer.
You would think a phone call would be made to confirm
anything like that no matter what they were working on!

What's really aggravating is that this is clearly a case of assuming the
customer wanted it, rather than that the person jotting down the
measurements got it wrong.

Well, JB, surely nobody in the history of mankind has jotted down something andgot it wrong?
Seems like another good example of why assumptions are good to avoid whenever it's possible.

"99.44% of civilians do not recognize original comicbook art when they
see it.
In fact, the very concept is alien to them. They simply don't think about
comicbooks being "created", and at such times that they come close to
doing so, they tend to be thinking more about the printing process, and
the
"value" of the published books."


And I have a feeling that that with the advent of computers the civilians
will become even more detached. They'll be more apt to assume that if
it's comic art for a comic book then surely it must have been done on a
computer. You know, that magic button on the computer that makes all
comic art "magically appear".

Indeed! I often have civilian friends of friends in the Studio, and standing
right there by the drawingboard, looking at a work in progress, they ask if I
do it on the computer.

That's almost funny in a very sad kind of way.

Maybe they think you do it all on computer, and then do
the "easy part" on your drawingboard. Like, you just
draw what you actually put together on the computer or
something. Not entirely sure where they'd be coming
from there...
