Checking in to make sure that you know Kevin Huizenga is worth your time
📝This archived post is originally from my old comics focused Wordpress blog from 2011-2019. That site was a space to publicly commit to learning the art and craft of cartooning and self-publishing.
These posts are full of a naive enthusiasm that though at times embarrassing, I'm proud of. I hope you find them useful in some way.❤️
Folks, I’m bogged down by linguistics classes, managing WRCT and printing and binding work for PIX, but I don’t want the week to pass by without speaking to you. As such, I’ll point you in the direction of 3 interesting and inspiring things.
1) Time Travelling by Kevin Huizenga is a story worth experiencing. It appeared in the original Ganges and I find it beautifully done. http://whatthingsdo.com/comic/time-travelling/
2) Rob Clough just did a solid write up that covers Michael Deforge’s comics and illustration work over the past four years over at the comics journal. If you’ve got a bit of time, head on over and introduce yourself to Deforge’s work if you haven’t done so already.
3) William Kentridge’s “Automatic Writing”
Oh and if you’re looking for a good time on Tuesday nights, tune into WRCT Pittsburgh for my show Juan on Juan. I cohost it with my great friend Juan Lafontaine, but he doesn’t show up until the last 15 minutes to play some tightly rerubbed disco. I tend to play 60’s soul and ambient electronic of the Japanese variety. It’s a blessing to be able to such a fun show with such a fun loving guy. Call the request line and I’d love to talk to you.
