Dan Zettwoch published a five page strip in the most recent issue of Comic Art Magazine, in which he runs through different techniques and technologies used in small press outfits from the mimeographs of the sixties up until these days’ DTP shennanigans. That sounds like geeky and boring subject when I write it down, but leave it to Dan to create beautiful and endearing strips about it.
I’d been reading Dan Zettwoch’s journal (Zettwoch’s Suitcase) for a while (and blogged about his Festivus poster) when I met him a couple of weeks ago in Angoulème. He was working at the Buenaventura Press table in the small press tent.
It was awesome to watch him draw and write on scraps of cardboard while standing up, or sitting down, or leaning against the table, all the while chatting with people passing by. And the results are great as well (there’s more on his blog) :
I’m currently catching up with my zillion rss feeds, and discovering gems by the truckload. Cartoonist Dan Zettwoch, for example, has created a beautiful Festivus poster. What’s more, he even presents us with a step-by-step breakdown of his creative and production process. Sweet !
