Coloring and the Exorcist

Last week I've been coloring my pages with Photoshop. I'm done with my first pass and today I'm going to look at the pages to see if there are things that needs to be sorted out. Hopefully the first chapter will soon appear on a net, close to you. In just a few days...it's so close now I can almost feel it!!!!!

Tomorrow (30/10) I'm going to give an introduction to the screening of the Exorcist, at Gothenburg University Humanisten at 18.00. Be there or be square!

Take care!

Inking done?

Well, almost... As I wrote last week I had to re-ink some pages, and I'm going to take a look at them with fresh eyes today to see if they are alright. This thing with fresh eyes is very important, because some drawings you think are great one day, might not be that great the next day... If I give them my thumbs up, the inking is done for this installment of the story. So with any luck or whatever you might call it, they are going to get scanned and colored, and put on the web! So stay tuned!

A discovery that I've made during this particular process is that classical music lends itself greatly for inking. Many years ago I bought some themed compilations CD sets with classical music, and these couple of days I've re-acquainted myself with them, and they work, very well! Classical music and inking is a great combo!

Take care!

Do over!?

Well, this week I've finished the inking and I was ready to scan the pages, or so I thought... After having another look at them I realized that the process had only begun. So today I'm going to have a serious look at the pages and see what I'm going to do about them. Some pages will be re-inked because some lines are very nervous looking and scribbly. And we don't want that now, do we?

Last week I forgot to tell you that I've done two illustrations for a magazine! It's called Sesat Magazine and is published by Religionsvetenskapliga Föreningen at Gothenburg University. I will tell you more about it when it's published, if my memory serves me right it's going to be available both as a paper product and online.

Take care!

The inking continues

Here is a page that I've inked:

When I've inked them all I'm going to go over them ones more to make sure they are alright.

Is this an accident waiting to happen?

Of course I'm referring to the flask of ink, do you say that in English or do your say container or bottle? And also the fact that I have to reach for the button on my lamp under the drawing board to switch it on and off... It feels like I'm only a moment of unawareness from having a big black ink blot on my keyboard...  But the main question remains, is the iMac keyboard ink retardant?

Take care!
