From now on, till I lose my interest or thread (“again”) I present my take on the graphic novels scene. My work’s organization has been inspired in part by the execution style of “SinCity” and in part by the Virgin Comics project of a few acclaimed Indian and other Asian creators.
This concept of “Brahma” though has been taking form in my head even before I stumbled across the said Virgin Comics project. Would probably be around the time I was reading the “Sandman” series.
I am no sketcher so whatever pictures I have in mind appear as italicized announcements after every call out. I also don’t want this to take a typical comic layout grid of 3X4 or any such format. It would be a totally haphazard organization (an oxymoron if any!) of sketches on a piece of paper.
Some of my favorites (this list is by no means complete):
Here’s the website for Virgin Comics: http://www.virgincomics.com/
Check out their “Ramayana 3392 AD”. They make Indian mythology look cool :O))
Here’s the website for "Sandman": http://www.holycow.com/dreaming/
The Sandman series is a part horror, part fantasy graphic novel that is very inspiring and very very original.
Here’s another one of my favorites, the “Bone” series: http://www.boneville.com/
You have to read it to see how funny this whole series is. An example, a character, Big Johnson Bone on being confronted with a rather unbelievable scenario says, “Well, shave my legs and call me Betsy!” The inspiration for the post title and a line that cracks me up everytime I come across it!
And on that hilarious note I present “Brahma”.
