Art News - April 26
It's Sunday, again, and you know what that means...
When Pixels Find New Life on Real Paper - I really don't understand why this is being treated as a novel idea. Webcomics are collected in print volumes all the time. Really. It is not exactly any kind of a counterintuitive thing. Anyway...featured story of the week. The web-based comics business model. Do you purchase print volumes of web comics? Does reading the comic for free turn you off from paying for a physical copy, or does it make you more likely to buy? Where do you see the comic business going in the future? Discuss.

(My tastes in worthwhile art extend past the year 1960, for example...Not that I like everything, but I like a wider variety of things, perhaps.) But he is most certainly thought-provoking in either case.
Typography Two Ways: Calligraphy With a Twist
Staging the Act
