Garen Ewing

Ooh yes! I had a toy one with one of those zip-pull things so it shot across the floor :-)

I wasn't allowed to join my daughter's school class Facebook group as they thought my name sounded "American". I suspect because they identified Ewing with TV prog Dallas (actually it's a Scottish name).

I have a full checklist here: www.garenewing.co.uk/rainboworchi...

Those were the very first RO pages to see print, in Spring of 1999, three years before part 1 in BAM! Just a preview, really. I think it was only three pages and two were printed the wrong way round!

Thanks for that post, Richard. If I had any spare copies of anything I'd send them on! (Alas, I don't ...)

You too, you deserve all the good things!

Hey Emma - just to let you know I've deleted my previous replies to your post as I've always had a policy of 'no self-pity' on social media and this was a rare lapse. (Emphasise it's my reply, not your post, which makes a very important point - thank you!)

A handful of these still available! #smallpressday

I use DropBox for all my file-moving, but how long before AI creeps into their t+cs as well? (If I haven't missed it already).

WeTransfer terms + conditions 6: Content (outside of US)

Ah, ok - that's the US terms, these are the outside-of-US terms.

Is the WeTransfer thing true? This is what's on their website right now.

Oh! I thought you were off and away. Well, I'm really pleased about that :-)

You've been fantastic, Andrew. Always impressed by you out in the media - calm, rational, factual and super nice :-) Very sad to see you go, but thank you for all you've done.

Lovely drawings. Morris Minor for me - a friend had a lovely burgundy one (a bit of a bumpy ride though). Another friend had a Mini but he was something of a boy-racer and souped it up - felt ill whenever he gave me a lift (fault with him more than the car, but it's an association now!)

I know what you mean. I often think sound effects are redundant as you do 'hear' the action. I put them in, take them out and then often put them in again! Happy either way, really :-D

Double-page spread of comics pages and panels showing various parts of a comic: panels, tiers, narration, balloons, establishing shots, close-ups, timing, sound effects, etc ...

Comics Workshop went well at the the Forest Row Festival yesterday. Here's my 'Anatomy of a Comic' hand-out I (rather hastily) made for a previous workshop a couple of years ago that remains quite useful.

That's amazing and wonderful - drawing, colour, composition - the whole art.

My Dad's 3rd wife was a typesetter. She showed me the huge machines she worked on and typeset a few pages of my fanzine (c.1985). A month later we bought an Apple Mac and a laser printer - her job was gone within months of that.

I worked at a newspaper in the early 90s - computers were just starting to come in, they were used to layout the ads, but the rest of the paper was pasted up old-school - glue, bromides, typesetters, scissors,etc!

@emmaillustrate.bsky.social Beautiful piece of art in your new newsletter. Good luck with it!

Children's birthday invite illustration - a line drawing, coloured, of two 5-year old boys dressed as Jedi with light sabres (one red, one yellow); Darth Vader's head looms in the background of space, also showing the Death Star, TIE-fighters, X-Wings and C3PO and R2D2.

Feel I should post some Star Wars art today - in fact I think I only have one thing, this invite I drew for my son and his friend's 5th birthday (7 years ago). #starwarsday #starwars

As a paid subber to Duolingo I'm hugely disappointed in the move to AI instead of real human translators. I am ending my use of the app.

I've enjoyed my time on DuoLingo (as a paid subber too) but this is the end for me. Don't just delete - let them know too.

Really nice to meet you too, Laurence. It was an interesting morning :-)

Shows he has no idea what actual research involves.

Couldn't help Googling Jerry Tokofsky.

Thanks for that, Scott :-)
