Continuing reports documenting the production process of my artist book/comic Blotting Paper: The Recollected Graphical Impressions Of Doctor Comics…Chapter 1: The Ingurgitator and Chapter 2: A Blot On His Escutcheon…this post shows more examples of the image-making aspects of the project. These include assemblage, drawings, design, photography, printmaking, plus project management.

This blog on my Blotting Paper comic has provided a means of documenting the production progress of the comic.

Both fish and cats feature in the comic, the fish more realistically rendered than the cats. Above is an image from my earlier fish animation, with added blood. Below is a rough sketch of one of the feline characters.

There is less photography in Chapter 2. Nevertheless it has again been used to anchor some of the earlier scenes in a physical reality, (see below).

Some sketches (above) for profiling Doctor Comics in older and somewhat obese form. It turns out a little more kindly in the comic.

The photos (below) show details of the studio workspace and some of my graphic tools used in the production.

I welcome your impressions of my comics art project and this blog, Michael.
