LOGO JAM GO! (DISCUSSION)

So here's my offering to the Paper Jam Comics Collective Logo Jam - some type for comment/discussion or to amend or incorporate into other possible PJCC logo designs featuring jam jars, photocopiers, paper, etc...

• PDF Version
• Adobe Illustrator Version

The font is 'American Typewriter', customised a bit around the serifs and line thicknesses. I also tried putting 'comics collective' in other type or handwritten fonts, but in the end American Typewriter seems like a good font to me.

(amending post... more!)

Obviously, my jam jar is rubbish, and I think this should probably be hand drawn, but this is what i'd had in mind...

TOOLS OF THE TRADE (DISCUSSION)

I am a great believer that expensive tools do not a great artist make, but I'm always tempted to believe otherwise when I see someone talented using some pen I've never heard of to great effect.

Whether it's the way Andy Waugh deftly strokes his characters in to being with a brush pen, the furious hatching of Jack Fallows, or me - trying every pen in my arsenal until something sticks, it's exciting to see what tools other artists use to achieve their styles.

So my question to you, dear reader; what tools do you use and love?
