The Intercorstal: Butcher's Park

Well, it was called 'Epic' and then 'Demos' and finally, now that it's finished I've settled on 'Butcher's Park'. This is a video I recorded of the finished comic -- it's all scanned and as soon as it's PDF-presentable I'll share that here too.

Treize huit cinq

You can download my new abstract & aleatoric comic book, Treize huit cinq on my own blog (it's a pdf book)

AC before AC

In the comments to Tim's latest post, reader Juicy contributes the following:

"After I first read the anthology,I used to look for other AC in past and contemporary artist, with many interesting results.
There is a nice piece by Max Ernst."

Here is the image that Juicy links to, "Etching for Tristan Tzara--L'Antitete - Monsieur Aa l'Antiphilosophe," 1948-49:


While we're at it, I'll add a couple I've been meaning to post for a while.  To start with, Andy Warhol's "Oxidation Painting (in 12 Parts)," 1978.  (Feel free to Google how it was made.)  While it can be just seen as a basic multi-field painting, looking at the tiers of panels it looks to me like Warhol arranged them with some kind of sequence or, umm, flow in mind:


And here is a print by Jacques Callot, from "La Guerre de l'Amour," 1617.


Well, actually there Callot is just recording the choreography for a festival dedicated to love--festival that took place in an oval-shaped arena.  Here is another one of the formations:





Still, it's pretty striking, isn't it?

Oh, and hi again!  Long time no see.  I know I've been pretty lax in posting here over the summer, but I will try to be more assiduous about it now that school has started again.
