S1: Yeah. Well , Danny , I mean , the venue that you provide is super important. So talk more about that. S2: You know , I will always look back at my own community and look back at all the opportunities that they have given me , so I want to definitely turn around and be able to offer something that the community can come together and look at , you know ? Um , growing up , um , it's interesting now because I grew up in kind of like in the art scene. So before I started doing , um , any art , I was actually playing in , um , some bands.
S5: Hi there. So I'm Chris. I'm a comic book writer , editor , publisher. And this is where I write , edit and publish comics. So welcome to my office. Or if you will , this is my Sanctum Sanctorum in comic book parlance , or my Fortress of Solitude. So please come on in.S5: Yeah , I was 4 or 5 years old living in Long Beach , and my older brother's friends in the neighborhood had just comics all over the place.
S5: Most definitely. I mean , that's the great thing about the way the internet is kind of democratized. Creation of content is some of the best people I work with in some of the most talented people , live in Chile , live in Australia , live all over the world. The flip side of that is like as a kid , I heard stories of the Marvel bullpen. You know , everybody sitting in the space , and they're all working together and making comics together , and I. I miss that aspect of it.
S5: And we really haven't shown much of this book yet. But this is the first two unlettered pages of the Megalopolis graphic novel. So this is done by an artist named Jacob Phillips , who was doing all the pencils , inks and colors himself. He does a lot of great books on his own. He did a book called The Enfield Gang Massacre that was just gorgeous books this past year , but he also colors his father Sean Phillips's work on these Ed Brubaker graphic novels.
S10: It's kind of incredible how these giant canvases actually still feel and look like sketchbook pages. They're full color , but there's still this sense of , like , mark making with colored pencil lines.

They're full color , but there's still this sense of like , mark making with colored pencil lines. So this exhibit , it's called tissue color. And while every single one of these pieces has at least one and often many figurative drawings like , like a character. Some of them also have these really striking cityscapes.
