My influences are Sam Gross, Charles Addams, Larson, and others.
I think it might be important to note that a cartoonist's style is always evolving. I think, even if (and others) are not aware of it, that our styles are always being molded. If th...

Who were your influences?
That's why colorists have unions in France, I guess.
"She's got to be the most unsung artist of all time. Imagine, if you will, the Far Side w/o the flesh she put on it."
Well said. Here's a bit of an example:

She's got to be the most unsung artist of all time. Imagine, if you will, the Far Side w/o the flesh she put on it.
She is mentioned in the 2 volume Far Side collection as being the person who did the majority of the coloring, and something about her being the closest thing to a spiritual partner or something like that. I don't think she has a site, presumably ...
Where can you find info on her - I've seen nothbing onlione. Does she have a site,etc.
I'm curious.
When coloring is done in-house at syndicates, how do they charge back that time to the strip.
Is there a set rate for this, and if so, what's the range?
I know how color pays for comic books/graphic novels, but I'm curious how a sy...
Donna Oatney. She's great.
It does feel like drawing on ice. You might try putting a piece of paper over it. This gives you the feel of drawing on paper and the wacom tablet still recognizes your movement and pressure. I guess I like slipping around on ice as I don't use th...
Yeah, I have a small tablet and produced about 2 decent pages completely digital. I mainly use it for coloring in Photoshop. I just can't get used to drawing with it though, It just doesn't feel right.
I like my tablet because it makes coloring a...
I've seen some fantastic stuff people have done on their computers. It was hard to believe it was digital. I just don't have the patience for it myself. A friend loaned me his tablet one time but it's hard to draw "down there" and have the picture...
I see what you mean there. Hand drawing & coloring does give the piece more personality. And who better to bring out the personality of a picture than the original artist?
My day job keeps me from drawing as much as I'd like but it pays the bills...

That's all good. Just for me, I like hand to paper as opposed to hand to computer to paper. For me,Click and fill, just doesn't thrill.
When I'm gone, I want my family to have personal, hand drawn, artwork from me as opposed to things I pu...
My new strip is being done completely on the computer, except for the writing process in which I make thumbnail drawings in my sketchbook. It's been an interesting experiment so far moving away from paper. There are advantages and disadvantages fo...
I agree with everything you said, Leann, except the time thing. I do new work every day and I spend a considerable amount of time going through the whole process.including coloring by hand.
Imagine the color comics if they were all colored by hand...
