Kudos to Chris Ware

I want to take a moment to thank my lucky stars, and comic artist/genius Chris Ware for allowing me to use the template he created (with minor modifications) as the basis for the models on the GASP website. For those who aren't familiar with Mr. Ware, he is a multi-talented comic artist with multiple Eisner, Harvey and National Cartoonist Society Awards to his credit. You can read a bit about him at Wikipedia, and check out his on-line directory The ACME Novelty Archive. For a real treat, pick up a copy of his excellent graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. You can also find his original Bat-Man model bundled with Chip Kidd's book, Batman Collected. Once again, thank you Mr. Ware.

  1. Yes, an excellent design by Chris. It is a very adaptable platform to build, use or work with. Has he seen the work you've been doing with it, Prof?

    He has seen it. I send him notifications of every new post, and he has shown interest in the development of the line.
