There was a splash page of a cityscape that was flawless.<br /><br />The kicker was that he did the whole thing with a brush.<br /><br />I ink everything with a brush because of that one instance. Not nearly as good as Joe, but it's a lot of fun trying.Shane Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706984816021430077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-47765672774171587992010-08-06T06:53:33.018-04:002010-08-06T06:53:33.018-04:00It's a mild relief to hear someone who knows f...It's a mild relief to hear someone who knows far more than I say the Kolinsky sables these days aren't what they're cracked up to be. The one WN Series 7 I invested in does "flop over," not "spring back." I felt like a Philistine who just didn't get the subtle superiority of Series 7 whenever I bypassed the sable and picked up a synthetic. Some synthetics seem to give more precise and dependable variation in a painted line.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-47258976643748187202010-08-05T22:59:26.977-04:002010-08-05T22:59:26.977-04:00I've heard once that the original breed of Kol...I've heard once that the original breed of Kolinskies (which apparently were weasels rather than true sables) went extinct and that present-day "Kolinsky" hairs come from a different animal. Supposedly this substitute's hair lacks the springiness of the kolinsky's fur. <br /><br />Does anyone know whether this is true? I am definitely convinced that the Series 7's don't point as well as they did 30 years ago.Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-26997248369822292962010-08-05T21:08:43.709-04:002010-08-05T21:08:43.709-04:00Very cool!

It has something to do with the climate the Kolinskys live in or something. Maybe someone knows why. A good watercolor brush should snap back, not flop over. Joe was passionate about that point.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52420580948830084752010-08-05T15:07:34.968-04:002010-08-05T15:07:34.968-04:00I am wondering what's wrong with modern sable ...I am wondering what's wrong with modern sable brushes?DanHalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415195707090637854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-17937196675740565582010-08-05T13:27:34.033-04:002010-08-05T13:27:34.033-04:00I met Joe a couple of years back at a NY comic con...I met Joe a couple of years back at a NY comic con and had him sign my copy of his great bio "Brush Strokes with greatness" http://www.amazon.com/Brush-Strokes-Greatness-Life-Sinnott/dp/1893905721/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281029070&sr=1-1<br />He got a kick out of me saying that he was one of the first artists whose work I recognised as a young comic fan in the '70's.
