Guyton \ Walker

Piece by Kazuaki Tanahashi

I don't know if this was intended as an artwork in its own right, or as sequential (it appears as the background for Mr. Tanahashi's contact info page), but it works beautifully on both counts:



Kazuaki Tanahashi is a Zen-inspired ink painter and a translator of the works of the great 13th century Soto master, Dogen.

By the way, if you know my art, you can see why I would like this piece, can't you?

Luc Tuyman's semi-abstract comic

This is the best darn Tuyman's I have seen. Apparently made to be the basis of a collaborative video with Kerry James Marshall.

My girlfriend is a photographer and had some old 18x18 inch gallery prints of her work she was throwing away because they'd been dented, scratched, gotten dusty or whatever. I've been taking the castaways and drawing on them with sharpies, sectioning them off and converting them to abstract comics. It's a fun exercise to look at an existing photo and figure out how to construct an abstract narrative out of it.
