I love your blog and I just wished we lived in a world where one did't have to wrap one's thoughts in paragraphs of flattery for the artist whose work is analysed. <br /><br />i think you should write once: "i love so and so's work. that's why I picked it out to illustrate my points. now let's get busy". <br /><br />love your work btw :)alexhttp://www.alexandergellner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-26820873069422203502012-01-08T16:20:28.143-08:002012-01-08T16:20:28.143-08:00awsome post mark,

I agree about the agressive shapes but then again Bernet is canny enough to keep a consistent harmonizing shape language throughout a story even if varying other elements for contrast. However, I'm could be reading more into the choices than was intentional. Right or wrong, it sure is fun!mike weaverhttp://goldenzombie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-69871940926137288372011-12-18T10:37:09.066-08:002011-12-18T10:37:09.066-08:00mike - you may be right about his intent.

It didn't strike me that way, anyway, interesting it struck you that way. Anyway that's why I was trying to say question choices in general and not whether you agree with this particular interpretation or not! Debating what an artist meant or didn't mean is of course a very subjective exercise and we all see things differently. But thanks for the comment, I hadn't thought that that might be his intent.mark kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953166248647413142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-78803215018299060212011-12-18T07:46:57.652-08:002011-12-18T07:46:57.652-08:00I believe the purpose of the first panel was to co...I believe the purpose of the first panel was to contrast the horror of the following ones. The stars are not the only picturesque part of that panel. the whole exterior image is kind sweet and folksy. That is both good irony, that under the quaint outhouse,such terrible abuse is happening and the following panels seem worse. If the outside were also grim then grimness starts to lose its impact. the best way to make a character look tall is to put him with a short companion. I could be wrong though, just my opinion.<br /><br />Sent from my iPadmike weaverhttp://goldenzombie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-81361234562528295672011-12-16T04:19:16.831-08:002011-12-16T04:19:16.831-08:00Great post, thanks!

But I do believe your right about the stars, they do take you out of the story's world. <br /><br />I did a post on my tumblr as a reaction to this post: <br /><br />http://aapstra.tumblr.com/post/14305872468/a-pin-up-from-100-bullets-by-jordi-bernet-ijoschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204431664652209503noreply@blogger.com
