Binding Session

The last step (or next to last) on the assembly of our annual horror anthology was the binding. We reserved the familiar grounds of the Rosa Parks room at the Democracy Center on a Tuesday evening and proceeded to put the book together on an assembly line style.

Today we talk with Clay McCormack, artist and writer of the Breath of Life.

Paper Session N° 1

On August 9^th, members of the Boston Comic Roundtable enlisted the aid of the Boston Paper Collective to create paper for the covers of the Hellbound II Art Edition. The Boston Paper Collective provides studio access for paper artists and is located at 523 Medford Street in Charlestown, MA. In addition to having a beater, mixer, 20 ton press, and drying system, along with a vacuum table, vats, and moulds, they also offer workshops, custom classes, pulp beating, one on one instruction and studio rental. Founding member, Zoe Culbertson, was our guide.

In order to make the pulp, Zoe adds bags of shredded cloth to a large bucket of water.
