Drawn

Here’s an idea I love:

The International Cartoonist Conspiracy, Big Time Attic, and Altered Esthetics gallery are collaborating to produce an oversized newspaper comics section like they would do it today if they still did it like they did it in the old days.

I have a copy of the old timey newspaper in question, and not only is it enormous, it’s gorgeous. Dozens of artists have put their heart and soul into doing it the old fashioned way, and the results are impressive.

The stand out is Jesse Gillespie’s Little Emo in Slumberland. I won’t post a paltry jpeg here, though, because a) you have to spread it out on the living room floor in front of you to truly enjoy it, and b) I can’t seem to find Jesse’s work online.

Read more about the project and buy a copy here. There’s an accompanying gallery show next month, which you can learn more about here.
