Scriptwriting
Collaborating with illustrators and directors is as instructive as it is enjoyable. The script must be written with an understanding of both story and the form it will eventually take. That requires a willingness to recognize that the end result is greater than the sum of its parts, of which the script is but one. I’m forced to constantly evaluate the ways that words and images interact, a process that has proven invaluable in all of my work. Below, a case study: the script for issue two of my Oni Press series Borrowed Time, accompanied by a downloadable pdf of the finished product.http://www.onipress.comhttp://www.borrowedtimecomic.com/Welcome.htmlshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
