    RIP Ed. 💔 This is one of my favourite Kayfabe videos. Thank you for your generosity of insight and unrelenting enthusiasm for other artist's work.

    I used to work at a copy shop in Chicago where Clowes would occasionally bring in a few original comic pages for me to copy to use for his color guides. Seeing you flip through this book reminds me of just how amazing his stuff was to see up close and personal. Good stuff, fellas!

    There was a special red marker the rubylith folks made so you could fill in small areas or even draw right on the same acetate as the rubylith film; working for color used to be like building construction.

  • @manleycartoonist
    @manleycartoonist 5 лет назад +12

    There is a special red tape that you put on the film before you burn the plate to get rid of the lines around the pasted text in the word balloons.
    I had printing class in high school. Ran presses, shot film. Used Photoshop 1.

    Absolutely drooling over this book. Dan Clowes is in my mini-pantheon of comic book heroes / creators / influences. I feel like I absolutely LIVED "Art School Confidential", basically studied that piece and could relate to Clowes' biting tone all throughout his work. Clowes, Chaykin, Fred Hembeck, Jack Kirby, Kaz, Bill Griffith, Robt Williams... Keep up the great work, guys!

    @matthewregallis6458 5 лет назад +2

    'Art school confidential' is printed in black and white with gray tones in 'eightball' #7 and is reprinted in color in editor ken parille's 'the daniel clowse reader'. Sadly, at a greatly reduced size.
    I saw the clowse exhibit that the billy ireland (might've been the wexner center) had some time ago (i couldn't locate the flier just now) and i remember the originals being very large. I think larger than that book. You guys should do a Billy ireland episode.

    they dont only sell strathmore 500 as big sheets, you can buy strathmore 500 comic sheets in 11x17 'sequential' packs in 3 different surface finishes for cheaper than cutting down big sheets and none of it has watermark stamps. looks like right now you can get 24 sheets of plate for around $35, and 24 sheets of vellum for $26.

    FYI - printing the inside of the slipcase was done on some CD boxsets as far back as the 90s, i believe (maybe early 2000s) - the Miles Davis _On the Corner Sessions_ box (2007) has printing inside the slip case and was, I'm pretty sure, not the first time I'd seen that. Also, some DVD/Blu-ray sets (Criterion maybe?) did this early on.

"Reason: Out of Stock" Granted I think I ordered way late for something like this, but at the time there was no indication it would run out.Thanks for putting this up! Now that I'm going to have to wait awhile for my copy.

    @Jim - I love Wilson. Not only does it work as a great character piece, but it’s also one of the funniest comics I’ve ever read . It’s akin to amazing stand-up comedy wit it’s setups and beats. Clowes is friends with a lot of standup comedians and I wonder if he’s had influence.

    • @CartoonistKayfabe
      @CartoonistKayfabe  5 лет назад +2

      In The Studio - by Todd Hignite. It's a collection of photos and texts from from different cartoonists' studios - including Dan Clowes, Art Spiegelman, Jaime Hernandez, Panter, Crumb, Charles Burns, Seth, Ware, and Brunetti. Some of them appeared in Comic Art magazine. It's a phenomenal book. The Clowes' studio visit is the first time I became aware of Ken Landgraf's work. - Jim
