if these were submitted to a journal which published visual poetry, & the word "comics" wasn't even mentioned, I think there's a good chance they'd be published.
in other words, I think they comfortably fit into both categories of abstract comics & visual poetry.
Tim, I don't think they were intended specifically as comics. David just calls them drawings. I began by posting here the most obviously comics-like (and David has published many narrative comics in the past), but then I moved to also posting the less obviously sequential ones. Maybe if we didn't have the categories of comics or visual poetry, it would be easier to do whatever we feel like doing.
"The Moon Is Covered By the Sky (Walter Kieran 1895-1987)"
"How Maps Are Made"
"75% Erie, 25% Spaghetti"
Personally this is his best work so far. I'm not really a fan of the other works you have posted of his.
ReplyDeleteI love "how Maps Are made"
These are my favourites so far. Love the Erie/Spaghetti one.
ReplyDeleteDraw--to each his own, but I personally love many of the ones I posted earlier.
