Cause for Concern
I cannot think of very many wholesome uses for this device.

Wilson
The last graphic novel I read was David Mazzucchelli’s Asterios Polyp, which I really enjoyed. This morning I read Daniel Clowes’ new graphic novel Wilson, which I borrowed from a friend. I really don’t keep up too much on graphic novels, but I always enjoy Clowes’ work. Something about how he sees characters seems so real.

Beautiful Losers
I was recently introduced to a documentary by my older brother which came out a couple years back, called Beautiful Losers. I had seen 2 of the artists before, and really thought their work was pretty amazing. Margaret Kilgallen does these terrific illustrations of people and text with beautiful color and some pretty interesting compositions. Above is a clip from a PBS series covering art in the 21st century, that features some of her work. The documentary was pretty great too featuring Harmony Korine, Ed Templeton and a lot of others that had some pretty interesting insights into the art world.
