The Artful Readers Club for March

The Walking Dead Compendium One by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard { and some other folks} Charlie Adlard recently admitted in an interview that he often makes up his characters on the page. A fact which can cause any serious character designer to bow in admiration. As you can see the likeness of the graphic novel with the AMC show is very close.  Tweet Review: A long, arduous display of how a few people can entertain the masses. Since I am reading and watching The Walking Dead simultaneously, I am constantly comparing the two. Fans of the television series will be pleased to know that the graphic novel is just as interesting, if not more so. The details are very different in the first 48 issues of the graphic novel, for example, Carl is a lot younger and has a playmate Sophie..whose fate in the television series is quite astonishing. There are endless differences, but the overall storyline remains consistent in both versions which is; what happens to people during a...

  Artist's Journal Workshop: Creating Your Life in Words and Pictures   by Cathy Johnson Sat in front of a local church on a sunny Saturday, then picked some flowers to examine. I only had a pencil so I added the watercolor later. Armed with few supplies, I went to one of my favorite spots and doodled. Lines added in Photoshop before posting...timid me.

Now, after an honest read, I still feel a bit conflicted...but in a way that offers some inspir...

The Artful Readers Club for April

Vagabond 3 by Takehiko Inoue Inked drawing by Takehiko Inoue, coloring by me in Photoshop CS4. Tweet Review: With swords like that, why fight? If I can turn ANY club readers into graphic novel fans...I am going to be very happy, but then so will you. As most club readers are also artists, this challenge especially emphasizes the relationship between words and pictures. And, as in graphic novels and manga...that's exactly what you get! A little look into Japanese manga is enough to pique anyone's interest.  The manga artists keep up with  societies interests. The stories written are illustrated for all age groups;  boys and girls, men and women. The series Vagabond , my April book is seinem manga which means it's written for men ages 18-40. But I don't think I'll be arrested for reading it. The first two things to know about Vagabond is that the artist Takehiko Inoue is also the author and his drawings are done, up until very recently, with a black ink...
