According to the Myths of Crow

The singular nature of Yost’s creative energy impelled him to make numeous GLP comics inspired by the poems in the book Crow by Ted Hughes. It was nowhere near the obsession Yost had for “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but it was a preoccupation that lasted several years in the late 80’s. His final Crow piece was this one, a visual poetry broadsheet combining six interrelated abstract comics in the Geranium Lake Properties format. (Made with the help of Bil Sabab, aka Volodymyr Bilyk, and Phil Openshaw, aka Phil Openshaw.)

Ghost Pepper Savants Chirp Joy in the Leftover Sun of the Demonic Parking Lot

This is a collaboration with Michael Sikkema, author of Die Die Dinosaur, published by Blazevox. Michael provided the source material, a photograph of branches. I am very susceptible to branches, which can be used as characters or narrative structures. Michael is also the source of the title, which is a work of genius.

This installment of Geranium Lakes Properties is a collaboration with Phil Openshaw and Tom Magee. I am very grateful to Phil and Tom for giving me permission to use pieces of their work.

This is the latest post in a collab series with Volodymyr Bilyk. I used a touch of Gary Barwin Blue in this panel.

A companion equal to life

This is a collaboration with Volodymyr Bilyk. After I posted this image on Facebook, Gary Barwin took our efforts even further–you can see all three parts of the complete work here.

Liu Haichan and the Muse of Bismuth

"Bismuth has long been considered the element with the highest atomic mass that is stable. However, in 2003 it was discovered to be weakly radioactive: its only primordial isotope, bismuth-209, decays via alpha decay with a half life more than a billion times the estimated age of the universe." From Wikipedia, sourced to Dumé, Belle (23 April 2003). "Bismuth breaks half-life record for alpha decay". Physicsworld.

Geranium Lake Properties, "Under the Thickety Dune"

Another part of The Secret of Watchstone Rim.

This is a colaboration with Phil Openshaw, who graciously gave me permission to use a piece of this photograph for the branch patterns. Phil's photograph is far more stunning than my little cartoon here. Take some time to check out his Tumblr archive, and his White Cloth Hall series; his photographs of urban decay are thick with texture and fascinating detail.

Asemic comics have been published here three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. This was supposed to be posted Sunday, but my Sundays are too busy right now. Here, on Blogger, I will try switching to a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night schedule.
