My next big project is about comics, artists, printing, and the future of cartoons:

How Comics Were Made: A Visual History from the Drawing Board to the Printed Page https://howcomicsweremade.ink

I’ll cover from how artists draw their strips (on paper and on screen) to print production to the outcome as reproduction, from the 1890s to the present.

Kickstarter, Feb. 2024; planned pub. date: October 2024. Sign up for an email when the project launches: https://buttondown.email/howcomicsannounce

@glennf Should be very interesting because I grew up involved with comic artists from hand drawn panels in black and white only, halftones then to the use of paste-up lettering/shading film to introduction of color into newspaper cartoon strips. Remember learning air brush and then taught comic artists to use it. Then only 10 years later, digital and animation took charge! I bet this will be a great history.
