Comic Related Art

In the Beginning, There were

comics…. sorta of…

The earliest art was work that told stories. You can see the paintings in the caves that tell of heroic battles. In today’s world, comics have gotten a really bad rap. “It’s not REAL art.” Well, I think that’s just hog wash. Many of these images have been made as illustrations for comic works. There are images from the graphic novels I’m working on (I really need to quit my day job) I Believe in Jim Jones & This World is Sick. “A Woman Dies…” was done as a fine art piece, but it is meant to tell the story of the death of Jean Bapiste Grenouille’s mother (the book, Perfume).I wanted a way of telling it all. “Adam & The Rapture” is a painting, but is rooted in my friend’s true story. I’m not going to lie- sometimes comic art can become generic, but I have seen some true acts of art in the pages of comic books. Don’t discount the whole medium.
