“On The Media” Talks Cartoons

February 24, 2008December 10, 2009 andertoons1 Comment

One of my recent favorite podcasts is On The Media on NPR.

So I’m listening to it while coloring some greeting cards this morning and I heard all sorts of good cartoon talk via Nick Anderson and Professor Elaine K. Miller.

Both interview are great, but one sentence of Miller’s really sprang out at me:

“Cartoonists mine the metaphors of the social landscape.”

Wow! Is that great or what?!

Anyway, go listen to it.

Trade Color Alpha! (Sounds like an action movie doesn’t it?)

Well, if you’re into comics and coloring in Photoshop, this is about as close to action as you’re gonna get.

Trade Loeffler, of Zip and Li’l Bit fame, gives some PS coloring via channels advice that I’m still digesting over my morning coffee.

Channels is one of those PS features I don’t know much about, but Trade explains it really well, and you can bet I’ll be trying it out next coloring job.
