Scanner blues

Gosh, I need a scanner that does 11 X 17. I don't know how people piece things together in Photoshop. I always get a slight color mismatch or a black line down the center or some stupid crap. I've found a couple relatively cheap models so we'll see. I need a new printer too though, grrrr.

Chloe Jones R.I.P.

I just read last night that pornstar Chloe Jones passed away back in June of liver failure. I used her for reference in several sketches. I suppose she’s best known for contributing to the breakup of Charlie Sheen’s marriage to Denise Richards.

Column numero cinco

My latest Comics in Time column is up HERE. This time, we take a look at Action Comics Annual #1 by John Byrne & Arthur Adams. It's kind of a horror themed issue, keeping with the Halloween motif I mentioned in a previous column.

The reason that I'm sticking with standard format comics and not doing something like say, Tales from the Crypt is because those books are anthology books and it's hard to review those as a whole. One creative team might be great with a super story while the rest of the issue is garbage. How do you judge that? Do you penalize one story for a bad editorial choice of dumping it in with the rest? I'd rather not so I'm just avoiding those altogether.

Under the weather

I've accomplished very little today because of a little touch of a cold. Grrr. Colds suck. Mom is sick too.
