THE MARK IN AMERICA, ISSUE 2, PAGE 19

I brought my first computer in 2000. Only recently (2014) have I started using it to draw my comics with (instead of drawing/inking them on paper and scanning the pages and tweaking them) Photoshop. Back in the halcyon days of 1993, when I was illustrating this comic, computers were just an intimidating dream. Now I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to paper; the flexibility, the malleability of Photoshop and Storyboard Pro is too seductive. And the loss of the secondary income stream of original art sales would only be a concern on hypothetical Marvel and DC superhero projects.

For instance, Photoshop would have allowed me to easily do is to select and rotate Lisle’s camera-right eye. I could do it right now, but I’m being archival here.
