I've a little free time so let's catch up on the rest of JoF#21. The breaks have been posted, so let's look at the pencils and inks (which I got to do myself for the first time on this series).Notice the inking is a little tentative until I recalled that I really like using a brush (Series 7).
Again, I apologize because the organization the files is very disjointed and I've consumed the better part of the day tracking jpegs attached to emails sent into DC/Vertigo. So bear with me.
Matt's (Sturges) story about The Pathetic Fallecy's ill-fated production of "Hamlet" takes place within the security boundary of The Golden Bough camp BEFORE Jack arrived. So I imagine that those days were filled with such manufactured distraction for the inmates. If you're from the Chicago area and have attended the Ravinia Festival, I imagined a beautiful Summer night, lawn seating and some streaking.
Note here, that this is a different layout from the printed version. Editorial nixxed this layout as too cluttered.
Here's a sample of Alex Wald's color work. He's up for an Eisner this year for Best Colorist: SHAOLIN COWBOY. Alex did this as a sample to land some other work at DC/Vertigo. Great work,no?
This is only the scan of a partly finished spread. Jealous?

I love the glimpse that you give us into the thought processes. So how do you decide where you want to use the spot blacks?
Spotting blacks is precog; I start a drawing thinking, "If this is black, then I won't have to put any detail there." :~)
Awesome work as always, what else can I say!?!
