FOUR SQUARE group show coming this fall!

Taking advantage of the gallery’s location in North Beach (which draws a lot of tourists and a lot of children), FOUR SQUARE will expose new audiences to the incredible variety and quality in independent comics. 30 local and international artists have been asked to produce a single, 8x8inch, 4-panel comic. The subject and medium is open. By limiting the format and hanging the work, each artist’s unique approach will be emphasized equally. A catalogue of the show will be printed by LA-based, Never Press.

Work by-

Aaron Shunga / Aidan Koch / Alabaster / Anna Deflorian / Dane Martin / Gabe Gonzales / Hicham Amrani / James Chong / Jesse Balmer / Jesse Fillingham / John Malta / Jon Vermilyea / Jonny Negron / Karissa Sakumoto / KJ Martinet / Lale Westvind / Laura Perez-Harris / Leah Wishnia / Lizz Hickey / Malachi Ward / Matt Furie / Michael Olivo / Niv Bavarsky / Patrick Kyle / Roman Muradov / Sam Hayes / Sophia Foster-Dimino / Tim Beckhardt / Tom Hunter / Tom Toye / Zejian Shen

Curated by Alison Dubois

adactivity:

Just re-assessing this; it’s my submission for Future Shock 4 (which is out! Get it! It’s got a lot of amazing artists in it! Also get Burggraf’s A33 if he still has it!)

I was kind of unhappy with it but I just looked at it again now and it turns out I like the comic. I was fed up and mad at it when I finished making it, pretty dissatisfied, but looking at it a month or two later I like it.

Which I am happy about. Newsflash: I like my own work.

mareodomo:

we went to see Ursula Le Guin speak and read from a book she translated from Spanish, that was translated from Romanian. The Romanian-to-Spanish translator was there too! And very charming and excited to be reading with his favorite author(!).

The original (Romanian) author’s daughter and nephew were there too. At one point, we heard a story being read in all three languages! (((Not all at once, obvz))) It was neat.

She signed my sketchbook because we forgot to bring books. I gave her my last promotional postcard / comic which I just happened to have on me.

The nugget that really stuck with me was when she said that the book would probably never be turned into a movie or a BBC miniseries because it was “more descriptive than narrative, more idea than drama”.

I get real caught up in Oh Gosh, Maybe I Should Be Working On A Graphic Novel and thinking about story structures and archetypes and tropes and getting mad and being like NO! I want to work on a bunch of little one-pagers! and make a book that way! But then I just did that “Internet Comics” thing and took advantage of the two-page spreads and whatever. I don’t have to decide. It doesn’t matter.

It was nice to hear, is all. I felt like she was telling me it was okay to make different kinds of stories. There aren’t any rules.

(If you haven’t read the Earthsea series or The Left Hand of Darkness, I think they’re both great and I love them.)
