Week nine Euro comics ( 6 points)

 this week we had the amazing chance to visit the euro comics and analyze the work of one of my favorite artist of all time, Moebius was the artist the implemented in my opinion in the best way possible at the time a unique style of fantasy and futuristic atmosphere never seen before. when I was growing up I took many of his artwork as inspiration to go beyond the normal standards in my artistic career.

Moebius open a door I never seen opened by anyone before. his work transports us to surreal realms where the unexpected is always the main focal point. the quality of the art is just splendid and the sense of atmosphere is let the viewer immerse themself in his stories in a very majestic way. this week I took time to read more than one of his pieces. of them being the goodness and the garden of aedena , one giving us a feeling that reminds me of the album cover of dragon force (an epic metal band) fused with Arabic tones and majestic figures from different planets. and the other one giving us almost with no need to have dialogues a deep introspection of the human main and desires reflected in characters that inhabit fantastic alien planets, somehow different but similar to earth.

i feel the influence of these amazing figures on comics gave many artists around the world the chance to explore and dive deep into more aspects of subconsciousness and the importance of trying to reach more mutable subjects in our artwork. the mainstream becomes boring when you are able to see beyond the line of the general imagination.

Week Eleven Graphic literature (9 points)

 This week's assignment was to visit the graphic literature. this subject for me was confusing at a first point because I was associating the term with graphic novels. but during the reading, I encountered that these two things are very similar and very different in matters of depth. graphic literature is when the graphic novel became an icon of the literature and carry way more relevance to the genre than just being part of an independent graphic novel. it can be said that the titles we read this week were almost a must for anyone who likes literature for anyone who likes comics. I choose to read the sandman by Neil Gaiman. this piece of literature was a very interesting one to me, it treats one of my favorite subjects of the human mind and gives us a very interesting introspective view of the dreamworld and the entities that ruled this fantastic world. I dead two volumes of this series, volume number one preludes and nocturnes and volume 2 the doll's house. in one we have the

WEEK 3 the comic strip (4 points)

 This week We read the Smithsonian collection of comics. These comics were very different to what I was used to read. there was many different subjects that were exposed and represented in a very unique way. these comics help me understand a wider representation of the society at that time. the vision in matters of roles and races where really different to what we have in the modern society. is difficult to be specific about this week reading because the comics were very short and also threading many different subjects at the same time. it was sincerely interesting and very eyes opening on the how much potential comics have to tell a story of deal with a specific subject, and how influential can be to our society. there was definitely an era of experimentation where the limits of the comics stand. this time was very important to explore what was going to be the reaction of society with comics and how intense was going to be their influence on people of all ages and ethnicities. from th
