Once again, eagerly anticipated! Once again, not disappointed. Love the "blue period" conversation between Maya and Matt, and that she has the nerve to call him a nutcase.

The sculpted bodies of the athletic figures of Echo and DD are a true testament to the use of body language as the prime means of communication in this series.
Brilliant!

I'm looking forward to hear how everyone here reacts to this issue. Please let me know your response.

I was happy to see that this issue also had the Kabuki ad in it.

Best,

This is mostly directed toward David, but anyone with something to add is more than welcome.

Anyway, David: I heard that you attended a regular university, rather than a specialized art-school? What sort of classes did you take?

You see, I'm also at a university, but I've always wanted to write graphic novels. To that end, what sorts of things would you reccomend I study? I would assume basica drawing classes at least, and probably english or some sort of writing class...anything else?

I feel that a wide range of experience and knowledge enriches your art and writing.

I majored in graphic design so that included every kind of art class from sculpture to printmaking. But I enjoyed the other classes as well. The trick is to look at every class as an art class.

I took the Japanese language, acting, chemisty, anatomy and physiology(i had to learn every muscle and bone of the body and also dissected humas, to learn the internal structure of the body, while also taking life drawing classes to see how light hits the external form. It is good to learn from all angles of something.), non linear math, phylosophy, world religions, history, speach, children's literature, independant study in writing, theatre. I studied playwrites, scientists, cultures and learned a sensitivity to type.

Ultimately you get out of it what you put into it. You just have to learn to make the knowledge from each class useful and practical to your own endeavors.
