Read an article about author David Lester and his graphic novel, The Listener, in the Globe and Mail.
Nine boxes of books arrived in the afternoon. David Lester hauled each heavy box up the stairs to his third-floor apartment in eastside Vancouver.
And there they sat. Hour after hour. He could not bring himself to open a single carton. The boxes contained copies of his graphic novel fresh off the presses.
“I waited many hours,” he said. “I could not bear the thought of it looking badly.”
The books were the result of a project started years earlier, a laborious process involving thousands of sketches and detailed final drawings in stark black and white, rendered in pencil and pen ink, watercolour and acrylic paint. After a long, intimate relationship with each drawing, the work had been sent off to the printers.
Too much ink and the images would be blobs. Too little and the book would be a washout. (click link above to read more)
