Escape From The Asylum: Bat Art ShowPosted on May 12th, 2010 by Lin in Comic Whore, News, Pimp thisMemphis is going to get a bit more “batty” this weekend.
Escape From The Asylum is an art show inspired by the Batman comics and features work by artists Jamond Bullock, John Bullock, Patrick Tabor, Joseph Boyd, and Tony Brown.
Show runs from May 15-29, 2010 at Marshall Arts Gallery- 639 Marshall Ave. in Memphis, TN (just down the street from Sun Studios). Show is open to the public Mon-Fri 10am-7pm. For more info click here.
See ya at the opening reception- Saturday, May 15 from 6-10pm. There’s some talk on the internet about which comic creators should/shouldn’t get royalties. I personally think that comics are a collaborative creation- writers, pencilers, inkers, colorists, letterers, and editors are all a team. If one creator gets more money, everyone should. Royalties, bonuses, comp copies, whatever. Unless it’s a solo book, no one person is the book. Some creators’ names sell more books than others, and if they get a bigger piece of the pie that’s probably fair. But their comics wouldn’t get done without the rest of the creative team. Share the wealth. On newsarama.com Image Comics’ Erik Larson was quoted as saying, “I don’t know of a colorist that moves the needle–so I don’t think they should get royalties–same with letterers. Sorry.” Dave McCaig replied, “Print your books in black and white. Put your money where your mouth is if you think colorists are not essential to the team.” I tend to agree, and other than Owly I don’t know many comics that can do without lettering, too. And every comic should have a good editor. I’ve seen inkers save pencilers on a book. I’ve seen colorists save inkers. I’ve picked up books because I really dug the colors or inks. I’ve also seen both butcher a book, too-and I’ve dropped a book because of bad inks/colors. Bad balloon placement and fonts can take a reader out of a story. And without a letterer and the credits how would we know who did what on a comic! I’m not crazy that there’s a food chain in comics- and that colorists and letterers tend to be considered at the bottom of it. Shame when they’ve had to pull a late writer or penciler’s fat out of the deadline fire. Lin |
