@tonis: At first I was just going to do spot color with that yellow shade, since the real Dorothy Parker's poetry always reminded me of the color yellow. But then I thought to myself...What The Hey!
I'm a big fan of 'what the hey!' :)
I like it, those spot colors actually set the mood for me all the way through, very creative approach.
@Roxanne Starr: yea I like Michael's style on this, using colors for mood like that is way slick :)
Whats the term for this kind of coloring? Darwyn Cooke uses similar style in his Parker (No relation to Dorothy) books. I agree with Tonis that the colors were a nice touch ^_^
@Roxanne Starr: I am afraid I never read ant of Dorthy Parker's poems always wanted to. This certain "Song" strikes me heart strings since both Alan Moore and Prince have written a song about her and she has always been a creator I wanted to read, never got around to it. This also likely the first thing I have ever seen you letter since this was the first of the songs I've read in comic format. So it seems you and I were friends before I met you, since you touched a comic that is influential to me.
I personally love Prince Ballad of Dorthy Parker more, but don't tell Alan that.
You need to read Dorothy Parker's poems, Silk! She was a true American original.
And I haven't spoken to Alan in ages. Frankly, I'm afraid to call him.
You have to understand that when a comic book writer and a comic book letterer have a long-overdue conversation, one thing always comes up. The comic book writer always has some artist friend who is looking for a letterer. And honey, if Alan asks you for a favor you DON'T turn him down! :D
It's not as though I flat-out hate to letter, it's just that at this point in my life I've set my sights on BIGGER things. :-)
