comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Swirling” Made for Comics Workbook A kinetic page, where White seems to be working faster and with sharper lines.  This page has the text serving to recontextualize the images that came before it. The images go from having lots of force, to having almost an alienation to the character, to a melancholy.  It […]

comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Fluorescence” Made for Comics Workbook Thinking about Andrew White’s text and how it relates to his images today.  Here we see one panel with text, and how it informs and brings focus to the subsequent panels.  It suggests a mindset in response to continuous, monotonous stimuli.  Irritation, maybe. The first panel, by being […]

comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Evening Falls” Made for Comics Workbook I enjoy the pieces where White’s style is influenced by Warren Craghead and Simon Moreton (this one clearly more by Craghead).  It seems that White’s natural hand for drawing fits very neatly into the style and it leads to very impactful and purposeful panels, but it also […]

comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Drifting” Made for Comics Workbook This page demonstrates familiar White themes (self searching implied in looking at hand, ending with the “conclusion” of ambiguity over analysis; potentially it’s even non-sequential!), but is notable as a very clear little story contained in one page.  So much detail is able to be inferred out of […]

comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Entwined” Made for Comics Workbook Day 5 is I guess the day Andrew and I spam everyone with smaller posts!  Going to reblog some comicsworkbook comics today, and probably will continue on with them tomorrow.  I am going to start with some silent pages to get at his juxtapositional choices first, and move […]

Day 4 and I am going to take on Territory, in order to explore Andrew White’s non-sequential storytelling.  I talked a little bit about that on day 3 of this tumblr swap, arguing that it is part of White’s interest in finding meaning, while at the same time eschewing direct attempts to access meaning.  I […]

Okay, tumblr swap post 3!  This time I am going to talk about Andrew White’s themes!  Woo woo!  For this one I am going to talk about Pawn, which while a little bit more understated in it’s exploration, it also attacks it in a straightforward way. In his pieces he seems to have an interest […]

Kimball here again!  I sometimes think about the “head” and the “hand” when it comes to drawing, which are basically like, the “head” is the overarching thought behind your art and the image of what it could be.  The “hand” being the way it makes it onto the paper.  The head and the hand can […]

I am going to start this tumblr swap week with “Sounds”!  It’s a piece by Andrew White which is based off of a Vladimir Nabokov short story by the same name.  And that is the reason I want to start off with it, because in an adaptation the tiny little choices you make are illuminated, […]

For the next week we will be switching Tumblrs, meaning that posts on Andrew’s Tumblr will be written by Kimball and posts on Kimball’s Tumblr will be written by Andrew. Among other things, this collaborative project will give each of us an opportunity to write about the […]
