Every page of Locus is hand-drawn on acid-free 2-ply bristol board with a brand of permanent ink I'm buying from China that's blacker than shit. I love it. Sometimes I use 11"x14"; other times I use 11"x17". It all depends on page layout, subject matter, and time at hand. I then scan the art into Photoshop and color & letter it.
Every collector who gets a page from me gets the following:
1. The original black & white artwork,
2. A full-color, full-bleed glossy 11"x17" print,
3. And some other goodies. Sometimes I include pages from my sketchbook, if I sketched out thumbnails for the page in question. For the Kiss fans, I throw in some Kiss 4K Lithographs I still have in the studio. If I'm in a goofy mood, I'll throw in something weird.
Total price: $150 plus shipping. I will be streamlining the shipping in the next month or two, too.
If that's too expensive, you can buy a print of your favorite page. This is the print mentioned in point 2 above. That will be $25 plus shipping.
I won't have this in place until next week or maybe even the week after. I will announce it here (and everywhere I can) once it's ready to go.
Until then, keep in mind that the page you see on LocusComics.com is a very low-res JPG (or PNG) that doesn't show much detail at all. The original and full-size print are much better looking. For example:
Today's Comic Page lost some detail. I've zoomed in the first two panels here:
Panel 1 in color:
and in black & white:
Panel 2 in color:
and in black & white:
I hope that shows the brushwork and coloring a little better. Any questions, suggestions or comments, feel free to comment!
