Comic Book Grammar by Nate Piekos

Nate Piekos at Blambot has written up a wonderfully detailed article for letterers about traditions and trends in comic book grammar. It was fun to read and appreciate how much is communicated through the styling of the letters and balloons.

ELLIPSES
The ellipsis is used when a character's speech trails off. If a character is speaking, trails off, and then resumes in another balloon, you should always end the first dialogue with an ellipsis and then begin the second dialogue with an ellipsis. Another allowable use is when a character's speech is stilted or they pause due to physical distress. Injured characters or those soon-to-be unconscious often make good use of this in wavy balloons. There are only THREE periods in an ellipsis. Again, you'd be surprised how often I've seen four or more.

Artist: Gregorio de Masi

LIB invited artists to paint live throughout the weekend. I loved Gregorio de Masi's work and ideas.

Tiny Sparks Design - prints on wood

Another artist I really liked at MakerFaire: Bradley Boggie of Tiny Sparks Design. He's screenprinting onto finely sanded wood - beautiful pieces with a slightly raised texture.

WoodBuddy

Completely fell for the delightful and impressive dry-needle-felted WoolBuddy creations of Jackie Huang. No stitching!

Just wonderful.

Stuart Breidenstein

Saw Stuart Breidenstein's work for the first time this weekend. Love it.
