LET'S CREATE A NARRATIVE

Choose from the following characters:

'artist'
'critic'
'artist critic'
'publisher'
'editor'
'agent'
'distro'
'reporter'
'etc'

Together we can create a recorded narrative that occurs in 'real time' and whose history is sustained in 'real time'.
 



'Improv' existing historically.

Let's adopt voices like 'artist critic' and speak in those voices. The character of that voice is less important than the consistency of that voice. Being a 'caricature' online is way of interfacing with hundreds of people 'simultaneously'.

Let's explore our characters and in the process explore ourselves.



Let's create a narrative worth paying attention to. In order to compete as a subculture (as a product of 'indie' and 'art comics' comics) we will have to compete with / assimilate into other subcultures. In order to gain attention, resources and money we must ask ourselves what we can offer in return.

As illustrators we can offer a distinctive aesthetic and a 'personal touch':



We appeal to a creative and introverted audience:



We have the basic foundations for narrative laid out before us. Let's expand our audience demographics while at the same time appeasing our 'fan base'. Let's stop 'talking shit' in private, as audience members, and start enacting these narratives out on the stage.

Let's 'go all out' in our performances. Let's 'break down'. Let's humiliate each other. Let's 'fall in love'.



Let's create a community whose characters are accessible and whose actors are elusive. Let's 'play up' our characters' strengths and weaknesses. Let's make them shine.

We can do this.
