“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

Animaleries is a 64pg book published by Fluide Glacial in 2015. It's chock full of flights of fancy like these, involving animals and familiar objects & scenarios.

Solé was first published in ~1971, evidently influenced by the psychedelic culture of the times. Some of his work is a bit much for me (the Frank Zappa 'dirty socks' piece comes to mind), but his draftsmanship and imagination are undeniably top notch.

More about him and his work here.

Thanks for the link. Data obfuscation seems like a noble effort, altho way too easy to work around in the end. Or maybe that's just my cynical take, haha.

I like your idea of an artist using a self-generative type of AI to create custom art. I *think*. I mean, I'm still not very happy about the whole situation, but your idea makes the most sense to me. Far better than the current situation, anyway.

I am not worried about that, just think of music made with acoustic instruments, vinyl records, analog tube guitar amplifiers and so on. The good stuff usually stays around no matter what new stuff gets invented, sure a technology might lose it’s cultural dominance but will stay state of the art for the connoisseurs and often some time after that, when people get tired with the new stuff, it even has a mainstream revival.

You're probably right. I think I just wanted to bitch and moan, today! >(
