Welcome
To Issue 11. This month we begin to take a look at the wide world of 2D digital art. Although the idea of being a mate painter or a concept artist on a major feature film appeals to most of us, there is a much braoder range of jobs in which your 2D skills can be put to use and also be used to make a living from. In a series we are callnig ‘Real 2D Jobs’, we are going to talk to artists who have careers in other jobs outside the realms of concept art and matte painting. This month we talk to Comic book artist Matthew Haley. Some of you will alreadt be aware of Matthew as he has worked with the ikes of Stan Lee,John Buscema, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr., and the King of Comics, Jack Kirby and has worked on priojects involving Superman Returns and ‘Who wants to be a Superhero’. He tells us his insights into the world of the comic book artist.
