How To Make a Comic

I am by no means a fan of For Better or For Worse, but I came across this post on Drawn! that chronicles step by step how For Better or For Worse starts as an idea and eventually becomes a nationally syndicated comic. It makes for an interesting read if you are at all interested in creating your own comic or if you are just fascinated by what goes into making a simple 3-panel, black and white comic.

These are simply amazing! Martin Waugh’s photographs are as much about science as they are about art. From his web site:

Martin’s creative uses of high-speed photography make it possible to capture the smooth and effortless curves of liquid, eliciting a childlike sense of fun and whimsy. Interpretations of his work often reveal as much about the viewer as the artist. His images are engaging metaphors for life and are as intriguing to the eye as they are thought provoking.

By varying the size, speed and position of drops, as well as the color, viscosity, and surface tension, Martin creates a panorama of color, movement and intrigue.

The attention to detail is stunning and the idea behind it is so simplistic but so beautiful.

I guess it is strange to link to your own blog, but I just wrote a post about a book that I am in the middle of reading called A Whole New Mind. Here is the link to my blog.
