Page 3: Best. Splash. Ever! And the Artie Simek lettering only improves it.
Since you actually color even better than you draw, I can't help wondering how gorgeous it'd be in color (hint,hint).

Thanks Jim.
I keep saying that I'm making my own "Essential" or "Showcase" volume. I love being able to see the line art in all those great stories without the awful coloring. I really imagine LOV in b&w, but maybe at some point I can find someone else to take a stab at coloring them. It would be interesting just for the heck of it, at least.

Sweet! I love the panel with the fish. Are you doing these pages straight paper and ink or is some of it drawn on the computer? If its on paper, maybe I can swap you a painting or something for one of your pages.

Thanks Bill, that's great compliment. Maybe we can work something out, although at the moment I'm holding on to all the LOV art like a happy miser.
These first two screens of Part Two are actually the first pages of LOV that I did, way back a few months ago. This was originally supposed to be the kicking off point, but I ended up restructuring the way the story unfolded.
I did the first page twice, just sort of looking for the style. There were things I liked about both versions, so I meshed them together in Photoshop.
Every other page you've seen so far has been penciled and inked on 11 x 14 bristol board, and inked with a #4 brush.

Let's hear it for the old time tools!!! I agree with Bill & you - can't get enough of the great black and white. There is something so rich in that contrast of line.
Question? #4 Windsor Newton Series 7 or what? and kid finish or plate and who's make (want specifics here).

It's rare when text meshes so well with art in comix. Thanks for bringing back LOVIATHAN in all its hyperbolic glory.

Man alive. Not a corner is cut with Cavallaro. Seriously, could this be any more awesomely drawn? I love the detail in the sword-holdin' fish guy's mouth.

BTW, I hate that the site doesn't recognize the apostrophe in my name and renders it as a long string of back-slashes. Act-i-Vate is totally racist against Irish people.
