Restoration -- Artwork

This was one of the most demanding and time consuming digital
art restorations I have ever executed. The cover was only
printed in red and black; however, the halftone color of
the haystacks was comprised of interwoven Bed-Day
dots (an earlier form of Zip-A-Tone).

Restoring printed pages that are off register is common. Trying
to restore a page that has all four channels shifted completely
independent of one another on both the X and Y axis is
insane. See the panel below for another example from
this page, and go to Book Design -- Book Covers for
the entire page as it appeared on the cover of
Prince Valiant, Vol. 14: 1963-1964.

                                Sometimes color transparencies become corrupted with dirt or there
                                      is loss of color from transparencies sticking to each other. 
                                            I have established techniques and the patience to
                                                  digitally bring these pieces back to mint
                                                      condition -- all with only a mouse.
