| The
Visual Language Manifesto -
Collected and edited pdf. of these writings.
Reframing
"Comics" (July
2005) - Many people have
argued that the word "comics" has poor connotations.
However, it is merely symptomatic of a larger network of concepts
that implicitly hold down visual language. I address these issues
and propose methods to overcome them.
Fight the Comic Aristocracy (October
2004) - This is another piece
about the business models and social presence of "comics"
and visual language in America.
Part
One breaks down the "political" hierarchies
of the comics industry
Part Two
argues for a democratization against the established hierarchies.
Comics'
Identity Crisis (April
2004) - This essay discusses
how the perspectives of Art versus Language affect the social
perceptions of visual language.
Dissolving
Comics' Boundaries (Jan.
2004) - This piece discusses
the problems facing the comic industry's need for survival and
expansion, and how I think it can overcome them.
