So, I used to read comics as a teen. I also drew a lot then... not so much for about 8 years now, and music has been more of my creative outlet. But I came up with some ideas for a comic book (or possibly two different ones) and also feel like getting into a different creative direction again.... So, how does one write for a comic book? How would you approach balancing focus of art with the story, especially if they are both from one source? I feel like I'm suck in a chicken/egg scenario... e- spelling

This isn't the answer you're looking for, but I feel like unless you have a *really* good printer you won't get the same image quality, so maybe go for something silk-screened or some other type of print that emphasizes the diy aspect...? I think that when dealing with limited means that kind of packaging is more appealing personally.

Been awhile since I've silkscreened and looking for advice: I am planning on doing a short run of an album. This company Stumptown printers has an awesome pack, called the arigato pak. Downside is it's only available in 18pt chipboard, ie: brown. Do you think I could screen a full layer of black ink on one side, let it dry, then lighter ink over, for the effect of black paper? If it's a thin enough layer of ink they mostly likely won't warp right? I plan on doing a few experiments, but don't want to commit to a whole "blank" screen if someone knows it'll look crappy.

I am trying to clean up some maps I want to use for a bike trip. EX:  *I don't know why imgur added all that white space since it's cropped much closer on the file. Maybe because it's a PDF? I could print this out color, but it seems wasteful and I'd rather it be b/w or greyscale and then use a highlighter on the bike route so it really pops out. As you can see there are a ton of secondary roads and rivers that I don't need on here. I only have access to GIMP right now, but essentially same as PS filters. Is there any filter I can use to knock out the blue and purple but leaving the rest? Seems like when I play with the levels of blue it will effect all the other colors and not just drop the blue parts out. I tried the luminosity filter, and that's close, but still a little bit busy. EDIT - I think I may have it. I'm using what GIMP calls the "selection by color tool". Knock out he blu and purple, convert to grey and crank the contrast... sound OK??
