What’s coming along these days is a kind of fusion of my old time full pencils, and the fully rendered pages I produced for BLOOD AND TRENCHES.

 And so, so good.  I absolutely love the pencils.  I would go through the galleries, and see how books looked before being inked/colored/lettered, and I have to say I preferred the pencil version most, if not all, of the time.  A lot of nuance is lost when pages are inked.

JB: I’ll mention here that I have long ago stopped penciling ELSEWHEN with any thought to these pages ever being inked.

 JB, what considerations go into that choice? I think it would be fascinating to get an idea of what sorts of things you do with pencils-only art when these pages won't be inked.

Can’t say it’s really a deliberate choice, Andrew. More something I’ve been noticing as my comfort zone in ELSEWHEN expands.

Speaking of pencil-work...try as I might I can't do Kirby-Krackle that looks a thing like yours.  I get the whole white-space thing and all that...but you have a gift for it.  You're still my artistic idol.

A word of caution: As we begin soon to venture into Logan’s past, I advise one and all not to read too deeply beyond what I present. It’s all pretty much a WYSIWYG situation.
