Fans, let’s take a quick look at how this works:
First of all, enjoy reading the comic!
Second, you can navigate the following buttons to enhance your experience!:
This button takes you to the page before the one you’re on!
This button takes you to the very first page of the comic!
This button takes you to the page that comes after the one you’re on!
This button shows you all the stupendous art references that were used to create your current comic book page! This link is an invaluable educational tool, giving you not only visual samples of each gorgeous, important work of famous museum art, but also the name of the artist who created the work (with a link to a small bio and a gallery of their works used in this comic, displayed chronologically), the name of the piece, the year it was made, and links to the museum where you can view it!
As a further educational resource, you might also find it helpful to peruse my Small List of Great Artists (or, “Chris Wisnia’s [Skewed] Take on Art History”)!
This button shares my artistic process! Here, you will see previous versions of the published page, which may include my original brainstorms or scripts, quick thumbnail sketches of layouts, original pencils, scans of the un-edited/not-yet-cleaned-up pages, and altered/edited/moved or shuffling of panels/images or even whole pages that didn’t sit well with me and were compeltely redrawn! I also might include commentary about the creation or edits of the page, in terms of my artistic process! ($7 Patrons)
This button links to behind-the-scenes insights about the (pseudo-intellectual) ideas that led to this comics project, including my influences or inspirations, art historical contexts, art theory ideas of “what is art,” or “is this art?”, and how I feel these “big ideas” relate to my comic! ($7 Patrons)
This button links to videos of Chris discussing his behind the scenes insights, filmed from exotic places all around the globe! ($7 Patrons) If a video relates to a specific page, you will see a link to it from the page in question, below these navigation buttons!
You’re on this page right now!
