Kineticist’s take
Ryan Claytor's Kickstarter book celebrates 20 years of comics, design, and pinball art with emphasis on creative process.
Synopsis
Ryan Claytor discusses his upcoming Kickstarter-funded book 'One Bite at a Time: The First 20 Years of Elephant Eater Comics,' a 250-page hardcover art book celebrating two decades of his work in comics, illustration, design, and pinball-related art. About 25% of the book covers pinball content, including illustrations for pinball events and custom Mr. Jones Watches with arcade ties. Claytor emphasizes the book's educational process-focused design with behind-the-scenes artwork progression, specialty printing techniques (vellum overlays, gatefold pages, die-cut reveals), and his perspective on the resurgence of hand-drawn artwork in modern pinball design.
