Greenberg really evokes the sense of eager siblings trying to talk over one another when playing, building on each other’s ideas

Tough to read the last few pages, quite graphic even with the trigger warning. Slowly trying to overcome it, but had to put the book down when an anxiety attack hit…
One small step forward though I guess.

Really well-paced, using two characters passing to transition onto a new narrative/ pov. The subtle awkwardness is illustrated well, and the monochromatic palette makes it an easy read. Funny and a rawly honest look at the highs and lows of being human.

pg 292- Jim Steranko: I treat all [creative assignments] as puzzles to be solved using three tools: imagination, intelligence and integrity."

pg 288- Mark Allen Stamaty: "if you want to be a writer, write [...] it's also an effort to evolve my work, to explore my unconscious, which is, I believe, an essential source of originality and creativity, an effort to discover something new from within [...] it allows [ideas] to come out and [...] resonate with others. [...] if I could explain it, I wouldn't have painted it."

pg245- Bill Plympton: "I believe that once an artist begins to rely on an old style and keeps repeating it, his career is done. The excitement for me is the search for a more bizarre and interesting vision."
