artwork i found inspiring. there are a plethora of comics out there which rest strongly on the power of the story,on words,on what they are saying more than how they are saying it; most of the others are dotted with hyper realsim, digital effects, dark settings. they seem designed to numb you to the grandiose of smallness, with their effortless largeness, and push you into a reality that the wolrd is selling to you every second. it is also natural, since the graphic novel is a medium where images that follow the speed of time they were carried out in, are fit together to communicate something, no one image is a stand alone story, and the time constraint does not allow for the artist to work towards making each of those many drawings a work of art in itself. Id rather create an eight page book in four years where page is a story in itself, independent, a book on its own. yet, i long to see a book where the balance of beauty in its depiction and storytelling is euqally perfected. once in every while, i come across one. rabbi's cat came close to that.
