Marshall Art Studio: Comic Book Art (The Message)

DVD Extras

I was still an art student when I wrote and drew this wordless love story. It was first published in the Mass Art Comic Book, but later picked up by Fantagraphics in Street Music.

Form

  • As you can tell from this spread, I was still trying to coordinate way too many influences. The major forces were modern art theory (paint is paint, the beauty of the mark), graphic design (swiss-based page layout) and classic comics storytelling (Alex Toth, Barry Pre-Windsor Smith).

Substance

  • In addition to my class time, homework, working a shit minimum wage job, I also collaborated with the artists as a writer, inker.

The Message

(G; Romance) Story and art by David Marshall. Half a world apart (and in a simpler, 1980s pre-Internet, pre-cellphone time), two people find a way to communicate their feelings. Published in Street Music, an urban drama anthology published by Fantagraphic Books.
