Back in October of last year, Chris Kreuter published Stray Thoughts, "a 12 page comic book that utilizes the comic book format as a vehicle for abstract art." Here are a couple of sample pages:
Tyler Stafford writes (back on May 7): "I've kind of been doing a lot of abstract comics lately." Here's one example of two posted on his site--I'd love to see more:

ReplyDeletethanx for posting the Paul DeMuro stuff, it spark'd off an idea, i like how he used an actual comicbook, pretty damn swift, but it made me think of doing altered comic books, in the manner of Tom Phillips " A Humument " , but instead of word clouds do image, erasure & addition but keeping the gutters with original layout, that would be a fun exercise...
...also, that Ian Harker page is eyesum!
