Hello, my name is Richard Serrao. I’m the co-owner of Optimum Wound and I’m also a graphic black and white artist.
The purpose of this Column today is to give a little insight into the creative process I employ, along with some of the tools I use. Which I’ll also show and talk about how I use them.

The Truly Killer Art of Tim Lane
Submitted by Jason Thibault on September 8, 2009 - 00:05
Tim Lane blew me away earlier in the year with his hardcover collection of stories, Abandoned Cars which was published by Fantagraphics. His intricate linework married to gritty stories of loners, criminals and doomed lovers is a match made in heaven for those of us that like our tales to be a little harder. On top of that he uses his incredible draftsmanship for illustration work as well.
I was excited to land an interview with him for our Masters of Ink series. He was extremely helpful in getting me some new artwork and comic pages to present to you.

Optimum Wound Volume One Dropped by Diamond
We got word a few weeks ago that Diamond wouldn’t be carrying Optimum Wound Volume One. To be honest I pretty much knew this was coming. The book is an intensely personal project and One that could be considered a “hard sell” in the comic industry.
Launching a black and white anthology featuring no “name creators”, movie tie-ins, zombies, licensed properties or superheroes could accurately be called financial suicide.

Masters of Ink with Adam Turman
Submitted by Jason Thibault on August 19, 2009 - 03:12
I first discovered the art of Adam Turman when I was hunting around for a cool skateboard graphic for my 23 Ways for a Comic Artist to Survive article. I looked over all of his recent work and made a note thay I needed to interview him at a future date. When I contacted him for permission to use said skateboard pic I also suggested the interview and here we are.
