Topic: Ashcan copy

	Ashcan copy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An ashcan copy is a term that originated in the golden age of comic book publishing, meant to describe is a publication produced solely for legal purposes (such as copyright), which was not normally intended for distribution.
		This particular example of ashcan publishing was in vain, as a competitor had already beat Fawcett to publishing a "Flash Comics".
		In modern comics, ashcans may be used as a promotion or as an inexpensive format for independent self-publishing.

		Before these two developments, the process of copying a work could be nearly as labor intensive and expensive as creating the original, and was largely relegated to monastic scribes.
		In the digital age of music, music may be copied and distributed for a minimal cost through the Internet, however the record industry attempts to provide the service of promoting and marketing the artist so that the work can reach a much larger audience.
		This is also called a compulsory license, because under this scheme, anyone who wishes to copy a covered work does not need the permission of the copyright holder, but instead merely files the proper notice and pays a set fee established by statute (or by agency decision under statutory guidance) for every copy made.

	"Girl Walking," 1946, A Painting by the Artist Reginald Marsh (1898 - 1954), essay by Gregg Hertzlieb
		His approach to art was an outgrowth of ideas held by Robert Henri and the Ashcan School artists, many of wham are represented in the Brauer's collection by very fine pieces.
		Ashcan School artists chose as their subject matter men washing windows, women hanging laundry, or children playing in the street.
		Both he and Edward Hopper were the perfect heirs to the Ashcan School's legacy, due to their appreciation for the real (as opposed to the artificial or cerebral world of abstraction) and their masterful transcription of that reality into distinct, personal vocabularies.

	Review: Tales From the Bog
		Marcus was giving away some nice ashcans and selling a few hand-stapled preliminary versions of the first issue.
		The promotional issue he sent me was not one of the hand-stapled preliminary copies - as far as I can tell, it was a promotional test printing of the first issue.
		The comic and the ashcan are both sharp and attractive.

		Ashcan-Historically, a comic ashcan was a "production dummy" or mock-up of an upcoming title used by the publisher to secure a copyright on the title.
		As such, only a handful of ashcans for a given title were made.
		Usually (but not always) an ashcan is somewhat smaller than a standard sized comic book, and may consist of pre-production sketches, character designs, and creator interviews.

		Bellows was never officially a member of the Ashcan School, however, because he did not participate in their initial 1908 exhibition at McBeth gallery.
