I should point out that I didn't ...Thanks, Mike! <br /><br />I should point out that I didn't even have a scanner at the time, so the page I remixed was from a scan by Mike himself.<br /><br />As to whether I had any idea--Lord, no. I suppose some of the credit, actually, has to go to, umm, Domingos--I remember in the summer of 2002 we kept debating on a thread on the TCJ messboard the possibilities of various kinds of avant-garde comics: image-less comics, and also abstract comics. He brought up a couple of examples that I wasn't fully convinced by (I remember I couldn't see the sequentiality in them), I brought up the ones that I knew and loved then, and still love now--Saul Steinberg, Gary Panter, Crumb, Alechinsky. So this stayed in the back of my mind and, a couple of months later, I remember thinking, why not try my hand at it myself?Andrei Molotiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400106944822618816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-61012792703277055572009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:00Seeing these brings back good memories.
I like y...Seeing these brings back good memories. <br /><br />I like your first try - very simple but thoughtful. Did you have any idea it would lead to all this?<br /><br />Your Yam Seal Remix always gave me the same feeling as something in one of the GON books, where every detail is epic and the whole is actually totally awesome (as opposed to 'like totally awesome'.)Mike Getsivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473483211708315485noreply@blogger.com
