Sparks-Page 6
April 27th, 2009
I gotta say how much of a pleasure it’s been to work the fantastic Mr. Chris Turner who deals with my late pages by taking his magician’s brush to it. I presented him with this quite mundane and predictably selfish picture of grown up life and he managed to make it dull looking and vibrant at once. His muted tones perfectly capture the sadness of this moment, but the boldly dark colors complement the certainty that each of the characters have, right up until the end, where everyone’s life will never be the same again. This post is all about how we’re all people in this thing called life together, bouncing off each other, for better or worse. Hope you enjoy.
I love how the last panel blurs, like you can feel they’re hitting the breaks!
The story seems disconnected from the rest of Sparks (so far) and the mention of the fiction tunnel kinda of comes out of nowhere. I think that’s the fault of the big gap between pages. I’m sure it’ll read much better all together in one sitting.
Indeed. It would be quite necessary to read the page before this one in order to understand what is going on. Great point.
