"But now, in its utmost desolation, I began at last to understand its attraction. It was the awful scale of the thing, the suggestions of virginity, the fusion of pure elements from the heavens above and the earth beneath which were untrammelled and untouched by anything contrived by any human being."
--Geoffrey Moorhouse
You've done it again, introducing me to a fascinating artist I've never heard of! I am not generally a reader of comic books, but by ranging everywhere, you bring artists of all kinds to light.
ReplyDeleteHe is interesting--I like the way he talks about inspiration and self-formation!
ReplyDeleteAnd his work is interesting also, quite various and imaginative. Provocative.
ReplyDeleteHow come I've never hear of this artist!? Amazing, a fantastic draughtsman and profound thinker.
ReplyDeleteRobbi,
ReplyDeleteYes, he is fertile.
Marja-Leena,
I suppose because he ventured into the realms of illustration, comics, and movie design... Could that be it?
In the "literary" world, "genre" writers often remain unknown. Maybe in the art world, those who play with graphic novel and comics are less known by artists who do not go there?
But everything is mixing up these days...
wow, glad you posted this. I liked what Robbi said, ditto!
ReplyDeleteso when should I ask my question. I think I have one formulating.
