"For the art in River and the Weird Kid, I draw on Strathmore Bristol board with Rapidograph technical pens, a Crow quill brush, and regular marker. I draw at 10.5" by 3.5", which reduces to correct newspaper dimensions. I scan the photos into Photoshop to add halftones, color, and touch-ups. Thanks to Bill Amend for the pointers."
