David Marshall - Comic Book Art | Bored Sick
Substance
After our success of The Message and A Sunday Walk for Street Music, Mark Burbey and I collaborated on another of his original stories.
Form
At this point, I was adapting my art style to the subject matter of the story. Encore looked rougher than The Message, and so on. This story was quiet and well-paced, which lead me to use a style with emphasis on lighting, naturalism and realism. For some reason, I also decided to use a Hal Foster approach of keeping the words away from the pictures.
