J T H M
J T H M:
How can something so grotesque and absurd be so foe filling? Should I feel awkward about how awesome I though J T H M was? Is it normal to not be thrown off or disgusted by the terrible imagery? Have I become that desensitized? There use to be a time in our culture where if someone admitted to even thinking like this would be outcast and or labeled a psycho path. What has changed in our society where this sort of narrative can be written off? Its not like Nny is the only psychopath killer ever written about or created. Think of the numerous slasher films or martial arts thrillers.
Come to think of it….why should anyone be thrown back by the images in J T H M. Every night on the news you here about this murder or that murder, this pedophile that pedophile. Its not longer shocking to our culture but it’s the truth. We are primal beings when it comes down to it. We believe that we exist with a higher consciousness then all other life on this plant but we treat each other in such a manner that I would argue the above. Not saying that we are all homicidal maniacs but we all get the primal feeling to run over the old lady crossing the street or gouging the eyes out of the man you just caught with your true love. Ill admit it, in my mind on a bad day its not much different then this comic book. I never act on it and never could, am I different for not automatically suppressing the somewhat insane irrational thoughts? For not pushing them away and internalizing them completely, letting them sit there for a second and permeate, if not to see how far they can go but to remind myself that I exist in a plane right now where this isn’t acceptable. They are fuel for certain facets of my art.
The point where this type of work becomes an issue is when the little voice in a person’s head doesn’t let them distinguish between “real” life and fiction any longer. Where thoughts of rape, pillage, and plunder turn to actions of it. For age’s authorities blame the artists that make work like this for actions of those that idolize them. Maybe some of the responsibility should be on the artist but it’s impossible to control who views your work and who doesn’t. It’s a matter of personal responsibility in viewing work or playing videogames. When it comes to children to mimicking works of art or narrative in a an all trueistic way I believe that it has to be the responsibility of a young persons caretaker to explain the difference in writing about or creating about grotesque and insane ideas and performing them for real. That term for real soon will have to change but for now children need to know that there is a line. One a lot of adults still l don’t understand but there exists one.
I think work like J T H M needs to exist. Not for the sake of desensitization but for the sake of a primal outlet. Do I think there is a limit to it? On paper no. In sculpture no. Photography no. In art or entertainment in general NO! I would go as far as saying in sport no. Think about the UFC. Two grown intelligent men both deciding that they are going to try and beat the living hell out of each other. Without the emotional additive of hate or dislike purely for the sport of it. Yes echo comes to play and fame and money but these guys initially get into it because it foe fills a primal need they have. Channeling this primal energy is the key to our society working. Keeping violence in art is the key to keeping it off the streets, I sound like a crazy advocate for violent art but it’s prevented me from going medieval plenty of times

Fun Home
Fun Home
Not to sound tacky or take the easy joke here but Fun Home really hit home. It seems like in most of my points I go back and talk about the bad times in my life thus far. Maybe because this is labeled as a family tragicomic, it’s easy for me to relate. Why is it that the positive events in our lives outnumber the negative yet the negative tend to have a longer lasting effect? Why do the negative events in life tend to shape a persons psyche? Is it merely a chemical process? Our brains can’t produce major amounts of serotonin all the time. Our brains would become overly saturated and start to develop a dependency. So positive moments get pushed away into a blur of chemical happiness and possibly we are left to dwell on the negative forever? Because the brain can remember pain and heart ache more efficiently? I ask this in a confusing manner because I'm in between on the matter.
If Alison Bechdel would have had a Pleasantville life she wouldn’t ever have experienced all that this pseudo autobiography in tales. One of the most fascinating aspects of this comic to me is how Alison has manifested her father and mothers characters as those of characters that she know they’ve idolized. She knows her fathers obsession with certain book characters and manifests her actual father as a character in her own life book. I find myself doing this far to often. Maybe to the point of it having a negative affect. I admittedly have an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars, to the point where I can justify behavior and actions based on the fact that I have idolized certain characters that there attributes mirror my own. That there beliefs are the same as mine. Am I simply the product off the idiot box? Or is this a defense mechanism? Is the slightly delusional way that Alison views her parent an acceptable way for people to cope? Or is it acceptable because the little of a little lesbian girl who manifests life truth based on fictional or semi fictional writing and plays is a caricature? Maybe that is why some people are artists. We have become so narcissistic that we have to create our own world and ideas in an attempt to escape the one true reality that we all are forced to cater to. Or I am simply looking way to far into because of my own baggage. Its almost completely impossible for some to walk up to any piece of art and looks at completely objectively. It more like walking up to a painting and holding up a huge dark screen of all of your own personal beliefs moral and ideas then the work of art. Does one have to take this into account when producing?

Battle Angel
Battle Angel
I have to admit first off that I had a pre distaste to manga and anime. I mean I dabbled in stuff like sailor moon and Dragonball Z but I never really gave it a chance. I was much more immature then and realize now that I shouldn’t have judge a huge genre of literature and film making because of a bunch of wacka doo kids in high school. At my school the art department seemed to be split in half, kids who were serious about art and kids who did manga. Kids who dreamed of making a unique impact on this world and those who wanted to copy copy copy. I obviously was not a copier, and I judged anyone who wasn’t like me. It seemed to me like starting out an art career pigeon holing ones self into a style to be a very bad thing. I still think style should be evolved over a period of time and never be something one does conscious because then it would be forced. Those who were into manga were just too much for me.
The above being said, I am glad I gave manga a chance and read Battle Angel Alita. I must say it struck me as having everything a good piece of literature should have, depth, humor, action, social drama, twists turns you get where I am going. A few specific ideas it tackles not only intrigued me but also kind of freaked me out.
The process of taking a fragment of a brain and regenerating an entire body baffles my brains, as it should. This is possible in the story using nano technology. In the “real” world nano technology is a rapidly growing technology. I’ve seen concepts where cells phone are made completely of nano bots. To the point where your cell become permeable and can be shaped and used in any way, for instance wrapping it around your wrist or leg. I’ve even seen concepts where the phone attaches it self to the nerve ending in your body via super tiny threads of wire. The point I am trying to make really is more of a question. Would our current focus on technology be different if literature and other information filled medias were different? Da Vinci did drawings of helicopters and submarines thousands of years before technology caught up. Does it take a crazy idea now to perpetuate and actualized one in the future?
I wish there was more to the volume on our resources page because I know this is not the end of this series. Actually at the very end of it before Jim’s monster attacks he stumble across this organ. This gave me chill up my spine. I believe I’ve told you my senior thesis idea about the old church organ I am making into an interactive installation. Well before I read this about a month or so ago I came up with the main title and them to my thesis. It’s going to be called “ An Attempt to Be come in Human”. When the viewer plays the machine that slowly start to unlock episodic like imagery of people pushing the boundaries of humanity in one way or another, to achieve a higher state of being. The fact that someone somewhere else in the world had an idea like this gives me mixed emotion. I don’t know whether to feel completely unoriginal or feel more comfortable that my idea will be accepted.
I’m including a trip tic of one of the little mini episodes that will be in the finished piece, this part is called “ Learning to Breath Water”
Maus
Entire Maus Volume:
I hope I'm not going to go to far of track here, but when that happens good things can come of it. I have learned about the holocaust for as long as I can remember learning about history in general. Lets just say that it’s a hot topic for people to discuss. Of all the semi fictional stories about holocaust survivors all seem to be the same book, this includes Maus. Germans bad, Jews not so bad, Americans very very good. Except for one Aesthetic value it’s a story that’s been repeated over and over again for years.
Art Spiegelman decided that people of different race or religion would have the appearance of different animals, to the point where is a person was acting as another race he/she would appear to look just like they usually would but with a different mask. The characters don’t refer to themselves as animals they refer to themselves as people, the main character is a human being not an actual mouse. I think this is a genius technique and it makes me think about a lot of things. It’s a visual technique to describe a human reaction to hate.
Animals seem to be very aware that they are separated by species. A person doesn’t usually walk into the forest and see a the black bear and fox sitting together over a nice chiante or a rabbit and mole grilling up some carrots. There seems to be little interaction between specie except for the usually predator and prey food chain thing. Is this what Spiegelman is trying to say? That except for killing or consuming each other man decides to treat those that are different from him like a different species? I mean humans are 96 percent ape. If someone offered you a sandwich with 96 percent fecal matter and 4 percent turkey would you believe that you were eating a turkey sandwich? It must go even deeper then segregation of species in the human mind because the Germans treated the Jews like less than animals. Know one goes to the zoo and watches 80,000 monkeys get gassed to death. What drives hate of this power? What drives a person to be so passionate about genocide? I think I might have a few ideas.
I said in the beginning that I hope I don’t go to far off track but sometimes that’s the point. What was different about the Jews and Germans? What causes most wars? What causes most social disorder or chaos? What would a large majority of people in this world die for? RELIGION. Religion grabs a hold of the human soul and manipulates it from childbirth. Here we are going to dip your face in water and give you the gift of a make believe characters protection before your even old enough to sit up right properly let alone commit your soul to one thing or another. I think the basic flaw with people and religion is absolution. This might seem like I'm trying to be a Jedi and say that only Sith deal in absolution but time after time people have shown that there belief in the uncertain can out way there compassion for life and destroy it in a second. There are not many religions out there that say…believe all of what this book is telling you truly and completely oh and its ok to read other books that ask the same thing of you. This seems to have become me ranting about religion but I'm ok with it. What will it take for people to realize they are blinding themselves? Could it be how materialistic this world has become? Since when did what we pay for color clothes gage our gravity? Is it that people are so afraid that God might not exist that they delude themselves to the point of extermination of those who refuse to believe in their delusions? Why did I capitalize god?
The way that Maus is delivered to the reader is somewhat intriguing to me as well. It’s not just a recounting of Art’s fathers past. We find out that Art is a struggling comic artist just like the actual author and he is flush out of ideas to make work about so he decides to scrape from real life accounts rather then completely fictional traditional comic art. So Art decides to ask his father to go through his entire life up until this point as detailed as possible. This is fabulous to me. Although my own personal father son relationship didn’t turn out this way, racking dad’s brain history was one of my favorite things to do. Just something about stories from his past seemed so full of life and action. Whether when it was about him deal cocaine in the 80’s or confronting to hardcore black panthers at a high school he had me enthralled. It’s not just a father but older people in general. I just like to hear people’s memories in oratory form. That’s all this story really is, but with the added technology of written word and illustration.

Jack Cole and Plastic Man
I found this read very interestingly placed so early in our trip through the comic’s world. It feels kind of “grown up” in a way. The way that every image tells more than just one action or event, the dialogue, the type of scenarios that take place. What I'm trying to say is that Plastic man doesn’t really seem to be for the children. Which is something I thought comic books were geared towards. It seems that I couldn’t be more wrong.
I think Jack Cole was a classic case of an artist who put his entire heart and soul into his work. Which made his suicide not much a surprise to me. To me Plastic man seems like a Jack Cole autobiography. What a perfect way to express all of ones thought, beliefs, and ideas. No matter how off the wall or crazy. What man wouldn’t want to speak in third person about “himself” as a chemically induced super hero? No really I want an answer. A person who has the ability to at will see the world Jack Cole saw it I’m sure many would agree probably wasn’t much of a happy existence.
I do not want to make it seem like I'm not interested in the actual work of Jack Cole, but his life story is what’s so intriguing. What little information that is given to me in the writing about his personal life makes me think of what kind of life Jack Cole really lead. I’m not implying that the author isn’t giving enough info. Just that I wish to hear Jack Cole talk about what events in his life he thinks made him think of the stories and characters that he created. The way Jack dialogues everything kind of dry and straight to the point, yet spends so much time in rendering the images has to correlate with his psyche. Our psyches are formed through experience and simply data collection, then our creativity kicks into action. So what I'm really trying to say is that I want to know where Jack felt that line was between a man who can literally stretch his arms out a mile each way and a priest Or what real event in his life lead to the ideas for Murder Morphine and Me. How such a seemingly normal small town man can think of the crazy shit that he did.

The Arrival
The Arrival:
I struggle to keep a studious mind on my writing for this book. Instantly I sat down at my computer and wanted to fill the page with everything awesome about this graphic novel? Comic book? Illustration series? What is this. What is The Arrival? I know because of its sequential ordering and panel-by-panel design that this is a story of some sort. I know there are characters and it seems that they are not just part of the scenery but that they serve some narrative purpose to me the viewer. What is this? Am I reading? Am I simply observing?
You can’t call The Arrival a book, or even tell someone that your reading, in the conventional use of the word read, but you should be able to. Why is the only piece I have seen like this? I think this form a communicating strictly through images could serve as big of purpose as traditional reading. I think this style could be used and accepted more then television or movies, which GIVE you all the information and don’t leave much for you imagination or free thought. This open-ended narrative not only is clear enough to get its own point across but it also kind of forces the “reader” to make conscious decisions. Should I give the main character his own voice in my head? Should I add in dialogue to what looks like their conversation? What are they saying what can this be foreshadowing? Everything about a wordless book is about inferences. It’s all about what the viewer MAY take from it not what they definitely do.
The Arrival to me was one of the first books that I would say let me go with a sense of accomplishment. They may sound weird because any book read or completed should come with it a sense of accomplishment but, Shaun Tan makes you kind of work for the book, search yourself for the story it might be trying to tell. I saw a lot of images that struck me as familiar yet distant in this work. I feel like it mimicked a lot of images of world wars one and two and lot of the imagery from the Holocaust. A lot of that might have to do with the brownish vintage ton set over everything and the vignette that the different surfaces and lighting create.
I’m inspired to do series with the same visual styling at The Arrival. It’s going to be about sound and have the same visual style and motif, using a combination of acrylic and photography. This wordless narrative idea makes me think a lot about the idea of synesthesia and how the best way to describe what it is to experience it or see it happening. Language tends to complicate and distort a lot of issues. I have had a really big issue wit hit for a long time. I think we are the under evolved species cursed to still communicate in this way. So to make a successful piece about something so linguistically complicated should have a dramatic impact, like the one The Arrival had on me.
