Non Comics Artists

[Inky Solomon]

bak said:

Here are some items I've posted at the school board - some of it is comics-oriented, some of it is illustration and/or video work, which I think is vital and rad. Cartoonists looking only at comics is the surest antidote to creativity.

Anyhow:

I got to see a really great Chuck Close show at the high in atlanta about a year ago. good stuff. did you know that he only has very limited use of his hands now? He still works with these braces strapped to his arms.

Also there's a Hopper show up in Boston that looks really great:

and, while not agreeing with his personal beliefs on so many levels, I really love love love the work of Alex Gray. If you like Jim Woodring, you'll like his stuff:
