Daredevil colourist Matt Hollingsworth has agreed to do an interview for the site and here's your chance to submit questions for him. So if you've got questions about Daredevil: Yellow, his work on the Bendis/Maleev run or his return to DD with Ed Brubaker's latest arc, please feel free to post them here.
I'll compile them all and send them to Mr. Hollingsworth.

maleev produced his art digitally. lark produces his art on paper. does he favor one medium over the other?

When setting the tone for the book, is the Brubaker/Lark approach much different than the Bendis/Maleev approach? Is it supposed to be same tone or should there be a difference?

Are you back on board to provide a successful formula that obviously worked with the Bendis/Maleev run or do you have something new to offer with the current team?

How has the colorist's job changed over the past few years with the advances in digital art? With which methods/programs have you worked during your run with Daredevil? Not asking for state secrets, just general interest.

First, DD: Yellow is by far my favorite comic coloring work EVER! Very Happy

What issue/arc contains your favorite coloring work in comics?

Are there any characters, pencillers, and/or inkers who you can't wait to work with?

I've got a couple!

How much do you rely on direction from pencillers when colouring their art? Did Alex Maleev or the current team of Gaudiano & Lark have a very definite idea of how they wanted their coloured pages to look, or did they give you a lot of leeway in setting the tone and colour pallette for a given scene? I'm interested to know how closely you work with the artists who provide the original linework, and what kind of boundaries might be set for your work before you get a chance to add your input.

Have you ever really surprised an artist with the approach you've taken to colouring their original black-and-white art (either positively or negatively!)?

Well, I'll submit extra questions:

Is there any old school issue that you would love to recolor from the original pencils and inks, using today's coloring technology?

Red or Yellow? Razz

Was it tricky working with Tim Sale on Daredevil: Yellow because of his color blindness? Was that even a factor on the book?

I was wondering if Matt could give a breakdown of his technique from start to finish and list the tools and/or computer programmes he uses?

I'm curious about how long he works on an issue. And how many projects he can take on in a month? What other books does he work on? If he's freelance, can he work for companies other than Marvel? Where did he learn his craft? Are there any teachers he recommends?

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
