Poster for Expocomic Madrid by Mark Buckingham, colours by me
Aside from my proper job, I've also been managing the odd little extra bit here and there - one of the more fun things has been colouring Mark Buckingham's poster for this year's Expocomic festival in Madrid.
Publicity work is always very different from comics. In the comics industry, the artist's work is the finished product; in publicity work, the illustrator is a collaborator, providing raw material to be processed by designers and other hands in order to become the finished product. It's always interesting to see what becomes of the work as a result. At first I was a bit startled by the amount of cropping and post-processing they'd done to the original file (see below), but on reflection I think it works well. With the integrated panels and dot-screening, there's certainly more of a "comic-related" feel to the final layout.

Art by Mark buckingham, colours by me.
Each year's poster is based on the symbol of Madrid; the bear and a tree called the Madroño. As you can see, Mark's original drawing (above) is a much wider shot and my original colours were bolder. The blank space at the top was to allow for a banner.

希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................
有時，你覺得痛。胃痛的時候，接受它，承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份，與它和平共處。心痛的時候，接受它，承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份，與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在，只會讓它更要證明它的存在，於是你就更痛。所以，.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺，還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊，不逃避，不閃躲，不再與你的痛爭執，如此，你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧，才會乖乖平息下去。.................
