...ASCII art. Don't see that so much these days.<br /><br />I like the analysis for itself, but also as a way to derive abstract art from representational. A whole pile of meta artworks are possible.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822697399126853771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-46070150110031431992015-07-30T03:01:33.973-05:002015-07-30T03:01:33.973-05:00Mara, you are so f--

The value of the gray tone represents the amount of ink coverage on the page. A fifty percent tone in the graphic above means that half of the page in toto is covered with ink.<br /><br />It's interesting to me, anyway, even if mostly what it indicates is "this issue takes place outside versus inside the Regency Hotel/Coal Mine."Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-73249406135815337382015-07-29T09:03:47.301-05:002015-07-29T09:03:47.301-05:00Also like the binary pixilated Cerebus.

I personally think there is a pattern that relates to the structure and theme and tone of the book depending on what Dave was trying to convey (I recall him saying that for GUYS he wanted a more warm kind of pleasing effect to the page, although that was more to do with the panel layouts, I think). It will be interesting to see how it changes when Gerhard comes on board. I'm guessing a lot more variety due to all the cross hatching. Especially with the variety of cross hatching Ger used. Wonder how that will skew the averages.

I'd wager..."Meaning of the pattern"?<br /><br />I'd wager the 'pattern' has no meaning but rather is simply an artifact of the technology used to reduce the issue and / or page art to a 1/4th inch block.<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324364972414451992noreply@blogger.com
