‘Found’ Abstract Comic Redux
February 4th, 2010Firstly I’ve decided to repost them all here as I found them so you can see for yourself. They are posted in the original order I found them. The original Abstract Comics Post and ‘Found’ Abstract Comic.
I posted these because they are just awesome! I was also being a bit provocative which was why I didn’t write a commentary and perhaps unsurprisingly I got the ‘this is not a abstract comic’ reaction. Especially the last five images.
It was serendipitous when I first found them it seemed like out of chaos came order and this beautiful abstract comic. When I read it I saw it as an eight page comic transitioning from large scale forms to tiny scale forms which then mutate, twist and transform themselves. Or snipets from a larger narritive. Or like we had zoomed into tinyest details of the earlier pages.
It didn’t even occur to me that people would read them as single pages and then decide what fitted into the definition of abstract comics.
I think I will do some experiments with these Abstract comics.
If you are interested in the source, they are all from Dover Publications
the first three: Art Deco Spot Illustrations and Motifs
the last five: Background Patterns, Textures and Tints

awesome thingies. maybe montage like the one you just did above? but, with flashes of black and white between so as do disorientate.
haven’t looked at your site for a while and I am bored and drunk so expect some other random comments on older posts.
not that your site requires these things to be viewed! More that it requires these things for me, personally, to comment.
Also: Hi David!

Yeah, I like the last five as a comic. You should make it – just make up a small mini-comic for Comics Weekend which is comprised of these… that would be a great idea!!! I wanna see it. You might like these too: http://www.wayfarergallery.net/hot-images/?p=1029 My version of a found comic, or a found artwork. I haven’t labeled it anything apart from “Circuit Boards” but I was thinking of comics when I made it. Also found a few nifty animated GIF circuit boards that I will post soon.

Hey Allison Thanks for posting your comments. I love receiving them!
Dick, you know you and Allison are on to something. I have been thinking about these images in the back of my mind.
I do like your Circuit Board comics and am looking forward to seeing the animated GIFs
