Do you look at comics and say, “Hey! There’s nothing going on in the background there. What did this artist want me to do, USE MY IMAGINATION?!” Lazy artists…
But at Dragon and Goat comics we labor away to hand craft each panel and scene. We spend years building models, 3-D printing miniature mailboxes and having hand milled tiny furniture made in Norway- just to draw a single panel in our comics. We do this because we know the little things matter, regardless of how our artist suffers Carpal Tunnel or struggles to stay awake milking squids so he can ink every little thing.
Okay, so, hyperbole aside, Dragon and Goat’s world insists on a lot of care in it’s drawing. The latest book has taken a few years to create and this is in no small part to Adam’s over wraught detail and penchant for dense maps of humor and countless Easter eggs. Does he do elaborate panels all the time? Not always, but if it seems like there’s nothing in the background of a panel- maybe you’re not looking close enough.
Because of this each Dragon and Goat book is a book that you can keep coming back to and discover something new with each reread. You can immerse youself in the world that sets the stage for the humor and adventure.
