It is very interesting to know how people take advantage of what we all disregard. James Danky journeyed a long way to making a name for himself. It also shows that our Librarian are important to us not only because they are a resourceful but also for reserving history.
I was not entirely, pleased with Danky's presentation. I was hoping he would have shown more of his work rather than the paintings he showed. Least to say that massages in the presentation was not entirely clear to me. But I found the few comics he show very interesting and controversial in it won way.
I thing that interesting to know from him, was the idea of learning and seeking inspiration from other artists work. From his slide one can tell he has a wide range of artist he adnires from different generations and movements.

I agree that it was very interesting to hear his point of view and see how he explored what was being ignored by others. Do you think he would have written so many books, had he not found interest in something that was previously obscure and unnoticed?
I could have also appreciated more slides during the lecture. I think his messages became much clearer once he was using more visual aids toward the end.
Jim is a scholar, librarian and author trying to gain appreciation and acceptance for "comix" as art. Hoping he gets the hang of how many slides visual artists love to see! Details too! Hopefully his work will pave the way for more scholarship in the future!
