Hey friends, I’m glad you’re here!
I’m interested in hearing your feedback. This is not a 10-steps-to-greatness-self-help blog. This blog will merely be about what I’ve learned so far. If you’ve got something good to share, or a better way to do things, please let me know in the comments!
Love how you did it in pictures (very nice art, the simple look fits the purpose just right). Interesting idea.
This is an absolutely awesome idea! In my recent journey as an artist, I have also come to see that learning about “the hands that made it” is super useful, interesting, and helpful!
The fact that this post was done as a comic rather than a lengthy text post only furthers my excitement. It’s visually stimulating as well as easy to read and understand. Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks Noel! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks about these kinds of things!
[...] The cool thing about this site is that all the essays are told in comics form. There is now one entry up which tries to answer the question: Which is more important, an artistic process, or the [...]
I am excited to follow this blog and learn from your ideas and practices.
Thanks Sarah! It’s good to have you here!
The student is becoming the teacher; the apprentice is becoming the master.
What a fantastic and creative (!) idea.
Thanks Kevo!
Heh, I like how the character looks like you.
Brilliant idea for articulating these crucial differences. Its really inspiring and can’t wait to see more.
Thanks hilscreate! Welcome!
Oh gosh, so I meet you at one con and now it seems I’m stalking you all over the net, but I’m so glad to have followed the trail to this blog. Thanks so much for sharing this info. This artwork is really nice. I love the colors and the general feel of it all. Very nice!
Thanks Stephanie! So nice to meet you guys!
Oooh, this seems like an interesting blog! I too am really interested in the thoughts that go into creative work as much as the work itself, so I’ll be lookin’ forward to seeing what you’ll be puttin’ up here!
Thank you! Welcome!
First: This looks beautiful, and I love the idea you’re working with. I’ll be watching closely and contributing when/where I can.
Thanks for sharing your work and the things you’ve learned with all of us.
Please do, I’m interested in hearing you thoughts! Thanks!
This is, I think, exactly what I hoped to see every time I opened an art book.
Interesting idea. I never looked at the process that way.
Very good points. Helps remove the idea that our job is about rendering ‘objects’ This is a quest without a goal – and, in many ways, it’s about a relationship between space and what appears to fill space. The panels themselves reflect this – the space between is filled with what we do. There’s a reason that people may draw with closed eyes, or sing so deep in the lungs that not a sound emerges. Comix are the art form of the culture, and there is an automatic kinship amongst those who understand that those who draw on story also draw on life. I’m enjoying your essays. And a most excellent topic
Interesting analysis. Thanks for reading!
