Here's the original ink image, and then I played around with it on Photoshop. Not sure which one I like best, though.\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sears1b-57e0241add.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sears1c-b83777c705.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nHave you seen \u003Cb>Darryl Cunningham's\u003C/b> latest posted comic, \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/127302.html\">\u003Ci>Dementia Ward\u003C/i>\u003C/a>? It's a fascinating insight into Alzheimer's disease and those it affects, from his experiences working at a hospital. (He's \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">tallguywrites\u003C/a>.) It's a great read, \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/127302.html\">go have a look!\u003C/a>\\r\n\u003Ci>Edit:\u003C/i> Darryl's posting a strip a day from this series for five days, \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/127906.html\">here's the second.\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nAnd I just read a lovely little book which is so clean and simple that it looks like a comic you'd buy at an alternative press fair. But it's actually republished from the Dutch this year in the UK by Winged Chariot Press: \u003Ci>\u003Cb>Sweets\u003C/b>\u003C/i> by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.sylviavanommen.com/home.html\">Sylvia van Ommen\u003C/a>. You can see different covers for it in different countries \u003Ca href=\"http://www.sylviavanommen.com/sweets1.html\">here\u003C/a>. (The American version is called \u003Ci>Jellybeans\u003C/i> and the cover isn't quite so simple. Which is typical, American covers usually look fussier.) Lovely simple line art; a cat and a rabbit go on a picnic and ponder on heaven, how they'll find each other at the entrance, and whether there will be sweets there.","2009-06-10T08:02:00.000Z","old-catalogue-drawing",[],"old catalogue drawing",1776628732717]
