Empty Hats (2003) was an
entirely experimental project, for various reasons. First, the drawing:
I've used computerized coloring before, but for 'Hats' I went with
completely digital artwork, done entirely in Freehand. It gave it a nice
sort of flash-cartoon look, which isn't a style I really care for, but I
wanted to make one go at it. Second, the lettering; my original concept was to do create the text for the story from clippings from magazines, ads, etc. That proved a much more difficult and irritating job then I imagined, so I eventually just did my best to create that clipping-look with various fonts. I think it looks pretty good. The plot, to top it all, is stupid, pointless and meaningless. But what the hell. It was fun to write. |
