I'm developing a graphic novel and at this current point in time I've produced 3 pages.
You'll be able to read it here. Free.
It will most likely be considered a horror book, but I hope that it comes across more as a study of a man.
I was recently very inspired by the works of Yoshihiro Tatsumi and his inspiring ink work. I've pretty much decided that I want to go in the same direction with my own book.
There is something deeply traditional in reading black and white ink work on paper that I feel can really make the reader connect more deeply with a book.
I think it was something I loved about Jeff Smith's Bone and Jim Woodring's Frank too. There is just this sort of simple graphic appeal to the contrast between black ink on paper.
That's not to say that I am not inspired by colour works though. Ben Templesmith's art is very moving too.
Below I sort of did a quick monochromatic experimentation with his work as inspiration to test the waters.
What do you think?
