Work notes: steady, slow progress on the surrealist comic. Recently I also had the chance to talk a bit about old, long story lines in The Secret Knots, on Discord, and there’s an interesting conversation on creativity going on right now, but I guess it’s better to check those comments directly. Speaking of which:
From the Secret Knots Discord
Games.Scholar recommends The Last War in Albion, a mystic history of comics through the lens of Alan Moore and Grant Morrison’s mutual disliking, taken with the humor it deserves.
timmc amaze us with this image of the movement of the National Ignition Facility, whatever it may be. He also prompted a new Discord channel for pointing out typos in Secret Knots comics, something I’m truly thankful for.
What Else is There
In The Art of Slow Cinema, interesting points about intellect as a barrier to understanding, and the depth of processing that often comes from some “slow” films. Art and memory.
An older link, but still very cool reference material I went to during this week: Killers, Crooks And Vampires: Thrilling Pages From Penny Dreadfuls.
A fine Tumblr about Bioluminescent Ocean Life.
Another Tumblr link, a collection of background art from Revolutionary Girl Utena. I find the background art in Utena and Sailor Moon fascinating.
