The Pictorial Arts

Word Salad

The ol' stat counter has counted thousands of downloads from this site, but the most popular one so far appears to be Fred Schrier's underground comix work. Well that's just cool. 

Here is a story from Mother's Oats Comix #2, 1970, that has always been a favorite of mine. Some of these panels are great grafix and deserve to be seen close-up. I'm posting it extra large so you can click in on the cool details and text. These pages show what graphic panels can be about instead of the superhero beat em up fests that pass for comic books these days.

About Me

My Photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
