Ok, so I know I've been MIA off this blog for the last six weeks or so. Sorry! (I'm sure you don't want to hear my excuses, but rest assured that I have them if needed.) But I have some news:
The San Diego Comic-Con is almost upon us. If you are attending, please come to my session on "Jack Kirby, Modernism and Abstraction," Friday 2:30-3:30 pm. AC anthology contributor Mark Badger and I will discuss--well, we'll discuss what it says in the title of the session, plus we'll show a number of published and unpublished abstract comics, by the two of us and by others, influenced by the King.
(Shown above: two Kandinsky/Kirby comparisons. Think of them as addenda to my earlier
"Kirby slash" post.)
Also, I have a
new
four-panel strip at Carousel. (Online and in the new print
issue.) I'm still trying to get this four-panel form down. This time:
words & photos. The underlying story is that I took all the
photographs on my flight, last year, to and from SDCC, where I gave a
talk on abstract comics. There's actually even more to the story than that, but I'll only have time to tell it after I come back from San Diego.
Thirdly--I have a batch of new drawings over at Blotcomics. You might enjoy them. Some are sort of Kirbyish.
What's the room, Andrei?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking, Karen! I just checked--26AB. I'm *always* in 26 AB. I guess that's the CAC room?
