Why do you like pictures?, by paulypaul on Jul 30, 2008 0:02:46 GMT 1, Green Lantern? Batman? Luther Arkwright? Roscharch? Dennis the Menace? The Numbskulls?
Do any/all of these names mean anything to you? IS that why you buy this stuff?

Why do you like pictures?, by GVD on Jul 30, 2008 1:02:33 GMT 1, In the past i always thought art was for snobbish people who pretended they liked stuff so people would think they were classy. I always liked drawing and been very visual but i really got introduced to the other side through banksy (how cliche  ). I really liked it and started to look further.
Now im finding and enjoying new artists everyday.

Why do you like pictures?, by seidbereit on Jul 30, 2008 11:30:35 GMT 1, Some of the first things you look at are pictures (A for Apple - picture of an apple, etc.), I think either that sort of fascination for pictures and what they can do (sometimes even popping-up to create 3-d scenes) either stays with you or it doesn't. I don't think comic books are the root of it, just one of the steps along the way for kids who've not lost their interest for pictures telling stories.

I agree, I remember, yes I do ! when I started school
all around the walls were pictures and assoc with each one there was a letter - and of course a word. (not a doing word - hehe a noun!)
Everyone had to chant the letter at the start of the day - it made everyone laugh and therefore it helped everyone remember.
When I see a picture generally it makes me think - sometimes laugh .... sometimes cringe and rarely cry..
(alas when i see an advert I turn over - or FF the tivo  )
What did you think when you first saw LV or Laugh Now... ?
perhaps it wasn't the same as when you saw Dead Dad
by Big Ron or.... Hirst's shark ?

Why do you like pictures?, by njr911 on Jul 30, 2008 16:48:54 GMT 1, As an indie kid in the early 90's I was into the Senseless Things, Jamie Hewlett did their artwork.
So I subscribed to Deadline, followed Jamies stuff since, and picked up some other hobbies on the way
