Anybody else check out the video of Jim Lee sketching Jenny Sparks on the DC Wildstorm website. I wish I could draw like that.

Indeed, he's got chops. But you would too after 20+ years drawing comics everyday. :superhero:

That. Was. Incredible.

It was so wierd to see him working with the inks. You could tell that he knew exactly what he wanted the picture to look like, even if it didn't seem like it.

He's definately a master of the field.

Amazing.

The guy is just first-class when it comes to art. I know that not everyone likes his style, but just looking at how a picture comes about like that is amazing. He's pretty dang good with the brush too. I liked the flashback scenes in Hush a lot. I remember an old Wizard magazine where he did this drawing of Hulk with just a brush and some black ink. It was awesome. Hmm I'll have to find it later and try to scan it in for you guys.

He keeps saying, "Greeking in." While I can figure out what the term means from context, where does it come from?

I didn't know either so I consulted Google.


"Greeking" is the graphic designer's practice of placing nonsense text into an empty layout, whether print or online, to approximate the way that words will flow when the actual content is finished. Strangely enough, "Greeked" text is traditionally a short string of mock Latin called "Lorem Ipsum" after its first two words (the text is actually a garbled excerpt from De Finibus, Bonorum et Malorum, or The Extremes of Good and Evil, a work by Marcus Tullius Cicero), but it can take many forms.
