Frank Quitely Interviewed by Horcast

frank_quitely

Comic-book artist, Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman, We3) is interviewed by Brenden Fletcher this week on the Horcast, a weekly podcast about film, comics, music and the creative process.

The interview is quiet and laid back as Brenden visits Quitely’s studio in Glasgow and digs through his artwork quizzes him on his process.

Lots of candid discussion about Photoshop and the traditional media (acrylics, watercolour) that Quitely uses.

Excellent stuff.

    Sorry, Quietly’s art is super-f@#king creepy. Really. So disturbing. I have been reading comics for over 20 years and his art stops me from buying a book.

    SO disturbing.

    John Walsh – I also had to edit my post so I didn’t sound like the obsessed geek I am. Quitely is one of the few artists left in comics (along with Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl) who still manage to make superhero comics exciting for me.

    Matt,

    I completely agree. It seems as if Quitely has a completely different take on presenting visual ideas than almost anyone else in the field.

    Also, I realllllly like the creepiness factor in his work.

    This is great! Only wish the podcast were video. I’d like to see the step by steps as he does them. Pretty cool though.

    Hey Drawers!

    We3 / Superman is my first foray in digi-inking and colouring. Am delighted I’ve not dissapointed so many keen Quitely connoseurs bu wrecking his beautiful linework. Vin spends a great deal of time carefully planning each cover, page and panel and does everything he can do not to rush or fudge a scene.

    He’s made the transistion to digital smoothly and has transferred much of his abitlity. He favours going totally digital now so all you collectors – buy up every page you can, there’s going to be a downturn in pencilled originals, period.

    Hope this finds you well.

    Frank Quitely can’t draw ?
    Surely your an idiot, in an era where 90 % of artist today are copy cats who mastered tracing, In my opinion Quitely has more talent in his thumb then the entire team at Marvel minus maybe Cassaday and Quesada. He’s one of few non-conforming artist out there. Art is about the person artist and his work not the critics and their ideas. He draws for audience of forward thinking intellectuals, take your backwards view on art to the cave chump.
