But it also shows that he is a structured perfectionist in his approach to his work. Most people would not consider doing these kind of calculations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143358193155190838.post-12586629035597989332008-04-19T05:25:00.000-07:002008-04-19T05:25:00.000-07:00What surprises me is how strictly Barks measured t...What surprises me is how strictly Barks measured the lengths of time need for differents parts of the work and linked it to how much he earned. I mean, I had imagined that someone producing such masterpieces of storytelling would have gone to great lengths to ensure the highest possible quality in his work, and that an additional hour to create a page he felt confident and satisfied with would not have been an issue. Well, apparently not, as he timed each task down to the minute. On the other hand, once he had the idea pinned down and the page planned in his mind, I guess the final step of putting it on paper was just hard work, requiring little or at least less inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
