“I’m interested in the uncertain human behaviours, in fear, in loneliness, and in strange beauty”
The AIGA Eye on Design blog profiles Spanish cartoonist Ana Galvañ, and the webcomics platform she created, TIK TOK:
Tik Tok publishes each comic series by episodes to keep readers coming back, to cultivate a relationship between its writers and readers, and to encourage illustrators to continue penning personal work. “Our philosophy is about taking risks,” the founder emphasises. “We publish stories that look past the limits of the representational.” It’s on this site where I first discovered Galvañ’s mesmerising and quietly disconcerting comics—in her panels, a riot girl sensibility seems to meet the perspective-bending world of Borges.

Rayond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work at New Museum, February 8-April 9, 2017
From the beginning of his career, Pettibon has employed drawing and writing in tandem to connect radically distinctive cultural forms—from movies and literature to comics and TV—and pieces of narratives from throughout history and culture. His visual universe is populated by the ghosts of the last century of American history, including such disparate characters as Charles Manson, Gumby, Superman, and Ronald Reagan. Pettibon hints at familiar and forgotten narratives in his work, while using an expressive approach to color, line, and gesture in order to provoke complex emotional states. Whether his work is addressing surfing, baseball, war, or family, or channeling the voices of John Ruskin, Henry James, or Allen Ginsberg, it manages to suggest both personal and universal perspectives on our shared cultural experience.

‘Or overshadowed completely by the war that soon followed.’
At the Nib, Dan Archer takes an expansive look at Ukraine 3 years after its revolution, and where things stand now, geopolitically.
