Tom Scioli! Bring your works to show off on camera when you do your plugs! More people need to see your comics. They’re so good!

[@JeffWalshPhotography]

I lost it at "Rob Liefeld." HAHA

[@phillytoon]

I forgot about this book. Gonna dig it out. Charles was recently hanging out with Clowes at a Monica release party at Partners & Son here in Philly, a really great shop/gallery. Next time y’all are in Philly, swing by there. Thanks for this video, fellas.

3:10 Copy for Study other Artists is an interesting Topic. I stopped using References Years ago as i mostly painted with Oils,because everyone around me always asked if i used one,and i mostly didnt except for little Details.So i got the Impression that its a bad thing. But its like Ed says,its basicly how we all start,as a Kid i always drew Batman,Spiderman and so on,mostly bought Comics just for the Great Pictures.And i think this gave a an intuitive Feeling for how to do certain Things. i also found back to it few Weeks ago as i discovered the Term Master Studies. Im a Book Illustrator,but also doing Covers for Music Albums and mainly work with Inks.All my own Stuff,but now i enjoy doing a little Frazetta or Wrightson Ink Study from Time to time,its a bit like coming back to my Childhood,but with learning Effect. I always watch your Vids in Background while working and rarely comment,but i had to stop by for this.Great Channel Guys !

[@TheSalemCrow]

Watching videos like this show me what students of the art and craft of comics you guys are. Being able to see snippets of a panel from an artist and generally know who it might be, or the era it's at least from never ceases to boggle my mind. I generally come away from these vids with names of artists to look into to broaden my own horizons, if for nothing else than inspiration of new elements to toy with in my own art.

The close up Caniff panels look a bit like Chester Gould villains from Dick Tracy...

Got my exemplar back in 2006 on a Amsterdam comic book shop. A prized possession for shure

[@andywieland5476]

❤️ Love this video ! Thank you, thank you ! I need to try this out in my sketchbook.

[@richdannys2906]

The back pages of the Sketchbook, have an entire indicia of the Reference images. Though sometimes Burns admits, that he can't even remember the original Image Source.. I think the Caniff-looking stuff is actually: Bill Draut.. Burns has re-drawn a lot of Draut panels for his LOVE NEST book.

CHARLES BURNS! An enigma

[@mateuspreis]

Thanks for sharing this. Really thanks.

[@christiancomicstrip3913]

Great episode and much appreciated, as I've wondered many times what was in this collection.

[@godlewski47]

Guys thanks for what you are doing and especialy for the last words that always give the positive kick in the butt. : )

[@gongorelocksmagiincommand]

wow, at least a month ago I was trying to look for this particular book due to that amazing cover lol

[@exapplerrelppaxe7952]

Good to see what a real comic artist does to learn and improve. Loved it.

[@Kurolicht]

Awesome, thanks for sharing this.

[@chibbykill]

Jim Rugg TMNT variant in my hands right now

[@amirmalekpour4316]

This is a great project go do!!

[@kuracola]

@6:46 entropy of information

[@cyrusdilmaghani6276]

Great book! Burns definitely a master in the game. Chester Brown also messes around with old imagery from DC & Marvel in short stories and zines that he does - sometimes using the original text and other times twisting the text his own way. Worth checking out if you haven’t seen it.

[@coffeejunkie7954]

Fuck I picked this up from my uni library, it was so cool to see Charles burns transform drawings in his style. The copy unfortunately had a bit of water damage but it was still an amazing look into his work

[@DadOfAllTrades24]

Just came across this in a collection I bought. Thx for the info on this. Pretty awesome. Any idea what this is worth? I’d love for it to go to a good home. Thx!!

[@makoseda]

This is great, more euro books please.

[@Gootie29]

That's inspiring

[@__tof____3304]

If i had this book i would drop it at around half of it and started drawing

[@kevinalvir6823]

I briefly taught his daughter Rachel.

[@russworks2882]

2:47 looks like 50's Frazetta art.

[@richdannys2906]

It is.. Character featured in Frazetta's JOHNNY COMET..

[@russworks2882]

@@richdannys2906 Ah, thanks, RD.

[@Flux_One]

Man I'd love a copy of this. I can't seem to find one anywhere :(

[@Eduardo-zp1os]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@danielmcdonald8637]

Does anyone know who , originally done the cover art ?

[@alexbraun3595]

12:18 kinda reminds me of Attack On Titan.

[@wpeden2]

Sorry, I couldn't help but open them...
