TRADITION MATTERS: The Comic Book Odyssey Mission Statement
INCLUDES ART PROCESS VIDEO!
Hi friends!
I am currently screen toning Page 4 (of 9 + cover) of Spirit-Girl part 1. On the daily (except Sundays) CALMstream I mused about the Comic Book Odyssey Mission Statement. I have the first point of the mission statement worked out. More to come for sure.
Commitment to traditional tools and methods.
The tools used to make art objects are not simply a means to an end. The patience and discipline required to proficiently wield traditional tools are formative of the artist’s character. Tradition leads to virtue.
The guiding belief of Comic Book Odyssey is that our ancestors were as wise or wiser than we are. Wisdom is to follow in their footsteps; careful not to implement rash and sudden changes that would risk damaging the wisdom legacy. Comic Book Odyssey is not a luddite publisher. It is not against new technology. Rather, it is for the reverence of tradition. This philosophy is expressed in the design of the Comic Book Odyssey logo. Here is the original sketch of that logo.

Well Ulysses, I remember well the time you said about singing and playing guitar ,you wanted to play a large audience.
I do not know if that goal or was it a dream but you are on the way to making that dream come true using a different venue .
