I've been considering trying to do something similar as I "freeze" a bit when it comes to pencilling and then inking where when I just draw in ink it looks so much better and has a LIFE to it. Hmm.... Very cool process.

Well, it doesn't mean you're a bad person, I suppose. And yes, One Bad Rat is brilliant. Hope you're enjoying the recent pages. I'm working with a new scanner, and it comes out looking much more like the original drawings. Don’t like ice cream? Well, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, I suppose.

Tale Of One Bad Rat is a great comic. Fascinated to see you work in red biro, and some art does lose it's life force with pencil/inks. I don’t like ice cream but I do like Bryan Talbot.

That's like not liking ice cream or something. Page 34 is about a third drawn. I have a couple of other projects on the go that are dividing my attention at the moment.

I can appreciate the need for spontaneity. When I got started drawing my own comics, that seemed like the most natural way for me to work, also. However, I ended up getting too anal and critical of my own work. Subsequently, I have spent the last 18 or so years reworking the same comic over and over again. It's gotten to be quite the OCD exercise. (ha ha). I don't do a lot of internet posting, but you are the first person I've seen on the web to reference Brian Talbot. I have been very influenced by Arkwright in my own work, but found no one else who knew what I was talking about. Even on the P. Craig Russell message board, believe it or not. Anyway, Thanks again for sharing your work. I want more, now, please. Regards, Marc Raab I like your method of working. I can appreciate the need for spontaneity.

The great thing about digital technology is we're not limited any more to the classic brush/pen and ink style, which was only necessary because of the limitations of letterpress printing.

Very interesting behind the scenes shots here. Losing energy and details as a result of overly fine tuning drawings is a problem I have too. Am considering breaking my usual pencil-before-ink routine and doing it all in pencil when I get round to my own Celtic comic (it’ll happen, eventually). It does seem fitting that the subject matter should be captured in a similarly raw and candid style :) Glad to see you’re getting back on track! Very interesting behind the scenes shots here.
