When I last looked (oh, about last Saturday morning) I had read and replied to all my emails, allowing me to begin work on Monty Wedd's Ned Kelly book! All of the original artwork has been photographically reduced into bromides (to the same dimensions as they originally appeared in the Sunday Mirror). I now begin the task of scanning each of the 146 episodes into the computer (at 1000 dpi) in preparing them for the printer. Given that the Air Hawk book was scanned at 300 dpi, 1000 dpi will ensure that all the details of Monty's artwork will be able to be savoured! Here's the first (and so far, only) one I have scanned. This has been reduced to be seen on your computer screen, so some of the details may not be readily apparent here. Just to give you an idea, the size (as it will reproduce on the printed page) is about A4 Landscape. Now that I have shared all this with you, I had best stop waffling, and get working! So, if you will kindly excuse me, I shall away...
