Max-imum BONE!
The brilliant cartoonist who goes simply by Max, recently posted the above piece on his blog & tumbler. I first met Max in Barcelona at the big comics festival back in the late nineties. Max is a badass cartoonist. He’s done covers for The New Yorker, and made a number of award winning comics albums, mostly published in Europe, but some published here, like Bardin from Fantagraphics.
I love his style, and his stories are smart, fun, and pure comics. You can see some of his titles (like those below) at his blog.
Thanks, Max!
Here’s a link to a short YouTube video of Max conducting a comics workshop.
Oh yeah, I remeber MAX best with PETER PUNK, cool! I like his work, too.
The Bone-Image is cool!

I love Max’s work! DreamSpy is one of my favorite cartoon art books.

Jeff,
Did you use one pen for writing all of BONE, and if so, have you still used it for all of RASL and SHAZAM?

Cameron,
I’ve gone through many blue pencils, and even many brushes over the years. I have saved some of them – - if they were especially good ones. A brush sometimes lasts me two or three issues, but after that, they’re pretty worn out!
Jaimie Hernandez told me that he is still using the same pen nib that he drew his first comic with. Now, that’s amazing!

Spot on with this write-up, I truly feel this website needs much more
attention. I’ll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the advice!
