Heute sind Comics sehr detailliert gezeichnet, was vor allem sog. Graphic Novels verdeutlichen. Mit feinen Federn getuscht sitzen alle Striche am richtigen Platz und definieren die unterschiedlichsten Mimiken und Gestiken. Schatten, Licht und die Farbgestaltung geben dem gesamten Anschein eine Tiefe und sorgen ebenfalls für unterschiedlichste Stimmungen. Das Projekt Squared Superheroes setzt sich bewusst gegen diese heutzutage für Comics und Graphic Novels typischen Eigenschaften. Mit möglichst wenigen Rechtecken werden 201 populäre sowie auch weniger bekannte Superhelden (und Schurken) illustriert und damit neu interpretiert. Dabei stehen nicht Mimik, Gestik und Stimmung im Vordergrund, sondern nur die minimalistische Darstellung, reduziert auf die wesentlichen Formen und Farben, die zur Identifizierung des jeweiligen Charakters dienen.(via Rivva)

In “Unreal Estate,” Doyle explores locations found throughout popular culture in a variety of limited-edition hand-printed screen prints and original art."From Moe’s Tavern to the Bluth Banana Stand, Doyle’s realistic and illustrative reinterpretations of television’s most iconic places is a captivating voyage. In the artists words, “Unreal Estate’ is a collection of locations that many of us know and have been to on a weekly basis at times, but can never actually visit. These places are in our memories transmitted and entrenched there through a cathode-ray tube. Some of us have been going to these places for decades, some of these places were taken from us, way too soon ...Noch mehr Unreal Estate nach dem Klick – entgegen der sonst hier üblichen Praxis, weil es kein Portfolio zum Verlinken gibt ...
The term black fax refers to a prank fax transmission, consisting of one or more pages entirely filled with a uniform black tone. The sender's intention is typically to consume as much of the recipient's fax ink, toner or thermal paper or disk space as possible, thus costing the recipient money and/or denying the recipient the use of their machine (this is similar to computer-based denial of service attacks). This is made easier because the fax transmission protocols compress the solid black image very well, so a very short fax call can produce many pages. Black faxes have been used to harass large institutions or government departments, to retaliate against the senders of junk faxes, or merely as simple pranks. The basic principle of a black fax can be extended to form a black fax attack. In this case, one or more sheets are fed halfway through the sender's fax machine and taped end to end, forming an endless loop that cycles through the machine. Not only can solid black be used, but also images which will repeat endlessly on the receiver's machine until his or her toner runs out ... Black faxes have been used by the group Anonymous as a protest against the Westboro Baptist Church ...
