“All through my comics career, I was always trying to reinvent the form. And what better way to reinvent the form than to toss virtually 99% of everything that’s been done with it and start with a brand-new canvas, reinvent it from the ground up? Digital comics gave me the opportunity to do that, and producing things digitally gave me the opportunity to do that. What could be more new than taking every single tool you’ve used in your career and replacing them with a whole new set of tools?”

“This piece is about the importance of art and graphics for political activism. In a way, it’s a manifesto that reacts to the prejudices against art and the poor sense of visual style that plague too many word-loving leftists, the people who work on Bad Subjects included.

The second is to provide a crash course in the different artistic traditions from which today’s leftists can draw in order to give their political work a multi-dimensional feel with more mass appeal.”

“…approach the problem of Web site design in three subproblems: Information Design, Interaction Design and Presentation Design. It is handy to think of the three subproblems as a series of steps, but in practice designers keep all three subproblems in mind throughout the design process. After the initial design and implementation a fourth step comes into play: Evolution and Redesign…”
