A: You make more abstract comics, of course!

MoCCA and art show reception
If you're in the NYC area, please come to the closing reception for my show, "24 x 24: A Vague Epic," at ArtLexis Gallery in Brooklyn, this Thursday:
The reception will also serve as a book party of sorts for my brand new book, "Nautilus":
Anthology contributor and fellow ArtLexis artist, Henrik Rehr, will also be on hand with his brand new book "Rejkjavik" (published by Fahrenheit Editions, Copenhagen, as a twin to "Nautilus"). So it'll be a book part of sorts for his book too!!
If you come to MoCCA on Saturday or Sunday, "Nautilus" and "Rejkjavik" (each hardcover, 12.5" X 8", 48 pages) will be available at the Fahrenheit table.
Also at MoCCA, if you stop by the Fanta table, you can see preview copies of:
Also, PODGallery/Blurred Books is putting out a portfolio of my prints, and I [i]think[/i] they'll have a preview copy of it with them. Here is a view of some of the prints as currently on exhibit at ArtLexis:
And, if you're at MoCCA, stop and say hi! I will be at one of those three tables, or else they'll be able to tell you when I'm coming back...

Anthology: a Preview!!!
Well, I wasn't going to mention much of this until the book actually came out, but Capree Kimball's design blog has a feature on our resident design genius, Jacob Covey, featuring a preview of our own Abstract Comics Anthology.
Pre-MoCCA MEGAPOST!
Excited and anxious about going back to NYC this coming weekend, I couldn't sleep the other night, so I made all these......
(Some of this reminds me of art I used to see when I lived there, back in the 90s.)Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Abstract Cartoons: Meta-Toons
I don't have an image of a recent abstract comic, but I thought I'd embed my abstract animated cartoons. This is a series of four abstract cartoons by me (Mark Staff Brandl), originally made in 2001, in collaboration with Mustafa Kocabeyoglu.
