That is scanned onto the computer and then the narration boxes are typed using photoshop. In terms of digital art, when I implement that medium (for example, here: http://artusagi.com/2009/03/19/iverse-comics/ ) I use a wacom tablet, never a mouse because of the inevitable hand cramp and tears of frustration. :D There are some artists who use a mouse, and their work is very nice. It's good you mention this, I should put in something on the about page so that curious people can know how I do these things!

It’s good you mention this, I should put in something on the about page so that curious people can know how I do these things!

Thanks for sparing the image too gross to depict and nice touch with Constantine's new wardrobe, the guy is a Byzantinian fashion statement! okay, I’m getting the picture, division of labor-wise, now help me out here: is all the art, even the fine detail, done with a mouse?

Had a laugh out loud on every page, learned about history I never knew, and thoroughly enjoyed the wide range of facial expressions. You are a fine artist. Looking forward to Consatantine's next move. Jeez, those guys loved a blood bath, didn't they? Your Dad said you worked collaboratively on it. Is it pretty much 50-50? The funny parts are SO like his sense of humor when he was your age. Maybe you have inherited his funny gene ...............and maybe his humor hasn't changed since he was 16!
