This is a three Photo Series. Larry Mahlstedt drew this for me when he was idle. (part 2 )

I took some of my art with me and headed out for a smaller con. Being away for 30 years, I had no concept of the changes. I searched around and watched artists using tablets to create artwork on large monitors.

This was a New concept in Comic Art for me as I had always remembered the days of pages getting penciled and sent off to the Inker by fedex, the Inker having limited time and then sent off to the colorist.

I found an Inker who I was impressed with, not because of knowing his works, but because of the art I was watching him produce. So I pulled out the artwork and asked if he would ink it. The Artist was Wayne Faucher.

Because if the age of the paper and his concern he asked if I would mind if instead he could make a blue line of it and ink that instead.

I had no idea what a blue line was, and he explained the change in art production, pencils being swapped for blue lines. I agreed because I wanted the art to survive.

I asked since I had no idea what blue lines looked like, if he would print out an extra copy in blueline so I could see the process. This is the blue line above.
