The arithmetical symbols are written diagrams and the geometrical figures are graphic formulas.
I felt there was a certain amount of violence in the graphic and that it could still be cheated on screen so you could still have a hard PG-13 and open up your audience. Anybody can read the graphic novel. If you're 14, you can go out and buy it, and I felt that if you're 14 you should be able to see this movie [The Loosers].
I would love to collaborate on a graphic novel with an artist - I'm terrible at drawing but I really love that genre.
I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French.
Cartooning is completely different from other media: it is closely related to film and prose, other narrative forms, but the skills needed to realize a story are very different, and include not only drawing and writing dialogue and narration, but graphic design and the ability to depict time passing visually. It's a whole suite of skills that has to go into making a comics page, skills that are quite distinct from those that go into writing a page of prose, or making a film.
I love doing logos. I've been a graphic artist all my life.
I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
Graphic design is the spit and polish but not the shoe.
I think graphic novels are closer to prose than film, which is a really different form.
A graphic is never an end in itself; it is a moment in the process of decision making.
I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.
If you jump, you best jump far.
Writing, in its physical, graphic form, is an inseparable suturing of the visual and the verbal, the “imagetext” incarnate
If you saw me working with construction crews or graphic designers, you'd see how much I'm really hoping for them to bring something to the table and let God in the room and let things happen naturally.
You need a graphic understanding of a situation to make a complete judgment and we didn't have that.
Like O'Rielly, we'll grab the most important word of each sentence. . . 'The' for example. Also, I'll say, 'I'm angry,' and the graphic will read, 'Colbert angry.
You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a "graphic novel," but comic books are still incredibly stupid.
The ability to get inside your character's head in a graphic novel is really fun and useful because one, you can really define the character's voice and two, it's a way easier way to convey what the character's thinking by actually laying out what he's thinking.
Essentially, I look for what is interesting to me, out there in the three-dimensional world, and translate or interpret so that it becomes visually pleasing in a two-dimensional photographic print. I search for subject matter with visual patterns, interesting abstractions and graphic compositions.
Always tell only the truth, and all the truth, and do so promptly - right now.
