Deadline Crazy for Arctic Circle and Cartooning Book

by Alex Hallatt

I’m gearing up for a trip to the US  in a couple of weeks (for the National Cartoonist Society shindig in Pittsburg, which also happens to be the boyf’s homecity, as he grew up in Sewickley, up the road). That means I’m still chasing my Arctic Circle deadlines as well as those for the book on cartooning I’m supplying chapters for.

I’m currently working on the chapter on the framework of the cartoons – borders, lettering and balloons. I print off my roughs and a lettering/border line guide in blue and ink over that.
