    Welcome to the (official) first column of Re-ignition. This is a column about discovering and rediscovering the passion of this great hobby.

  • Killing The Grizzly #4: The Digital Comics Business Model

    The Digital Comics Business Model – Getting Started I struggled with whether I should actually call this article “The Digital Comics Business Model”, because, ultimately, EVERY single Killing the Grizzly article will be precisely this,and what’s the point of having to sub-subtitle every article because I stupidly choose too overly-generic a main subtitle (KILLING THE [...]

  • The Septagon Briefing #7: Writing

    Septagon asked me if I might consider writing something about actually writing a comic, especially for those who are new at writing comic scripts. My wife and I got our first comic script from the back of a Sandman graphic novel, and then later a major big name comic book writer showed us a script [...]

  • Killing the Grizzly #3: Life After Diamond

    PART 1 – EVERYONE PASSES “GO”: THE BREAKING OF A MONOPOLY “THE HIBERNATION PERIOD IS OVER, IT’S TIME TO MAKE SOME SOUP. The bear has awakened, and it needs to be killed. Not later, now. Or some comics creators or going to die.” KILLING THE GRIZZLY was going to focus on a far different topic [...]

  • The Septagon Briefing #3: Career Paths

    Found in my local library system: –Cool Careers Without College for People Who Love Manga, Comics, And Animation (Cool Careers Without College series) (Library Binding) Just from the title, I was provoked to think about the whole issue. “Is the point of this,” I wondered, “to get kids excited about this stuff before they even [...]

  • Fourth Panel Estate #6: All Star Demon Tea Party

    Before we begin this week a public service announcement: Fuck you National Express Rail. So it’s been one of those weeks. Fortunately it’s been made all the more bearable by Gunnerkrigg Court which has had me laughing quietly to my self in public places for days after I blitzed the archives. This made the local, [...]

Aaron Noble: Putting Super Hero Comics In A Blender

A piece of this and a slice of that… No this isn’t the food network here and we’re not talking about cake recipes or how Martha Stewarts brownies are freak’n awesome and best served with crème fresh. No not at all, (by the way–that will be the last time Martha Stewart’s name will ever be mentioned again on the Septagon Studios Comic Blog, that’s for sure!) What I will however be talking about is an artist by the name of Aaron Noble and how he has created a recipe for his work by taking fragments of superhero’s and manipulating them to create some outstanding pieces of art.

What else can be said about Aaron’s work other than it’s unique? Well, a whole lot could be said. Aaron’s work morphs into an array of almost liquefied, stretched, free-floating comic objects that take on a life of their own. As seen above: although the concept is the same, no two pieces are alike. Each composition is arranged in a certain way that interacts with the negative space surrounding the piece giving the art a simplistic airy quality.

“When I finish making the painting it seems serene often weightless”

Aaron’s work can be seen in various galleries, he’s also created many murals done in this style. It’s really amazing how he selects and crops certain elements from comic panels and then rearranges and remixes them to form completely different objects. In the video below Aaron Noble provides a brief explanation on how he goes about creating his art.
