    If pro is the opposite of con would Congress be the opposite of progress.
    Yep…seems like we are going backward. Some of the games people buy to play interactive stuff is almost like when we did stuff like that for real as a kid.

      No kidding! It seems like they just try to imitate things that already exists. Like trying to make digital ‘inking’ look more ‘real’. I say, nothing beats the real thing!

        I’m guilty of the digital inkin’ because I need to have something I can redo about a hundred times without startin’ from scratch.

      Of course! Using computers to make art is fine by me. I do all my colors in Photoshop, not to mention fixing any inking errors. But I still like the natural line better. I think technology is good when it’s used for something you can’t do otherwise. When it just copies older techniques I feel its just kind of wasted.

    Hey Leroy…where in the world are you buddy?

      Hey Bo, I know I’ve been really quiet lately. I am waiting on word from the syndicates to see if there’s any chance of getting the strip picked up. I have been caught up in some other projects as well. It’s hard not to get burned out after 5-6 years without having a clear indication of being able to turn the strip into something viable- I need to continue to pay the bills! Thanks for being there and caring about ICECUBES, I’m going to do my best to get back online asap!

book-paginationIn other words, trying to figure out a/ which strips to feature in the book, b/ which order to put the strips in, c/ which order to put the pages in. There are 175 strips featured, spanning almost 4 years of ICECUBES. So the challenge is to put them in a sequence that makes sense. A lot of cutting and pasting old school style with scissors and glue! 😉

Scanning & Coloring for the Book!

hand These days I have been busy re-scanning all the strips for the book. They were originally scanned at 150dpi for the web but need to be re-scanned at 600dpi for the book… Oh well, I won’t make that mistake again! I then need to clean and color all 170 strips. Quite a job! As you can see from the brace on my right hand, it’s taking a toll. All this computer work is giving me a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome… But, have no fear, you won’t be disappointed because ICECUBES the Book is coming out real soon and will be a huge success! 🙂 Leroy Brown
