I've posted up a collection of regular grid compositions – pages I've gathered for class and my own purposes (as I gear up for the all regular grid chapter of #Nostos #Unflattening 2) & to share with you all. Just a few of the examples - my site has tons more! 1/3 spinweaveandcut.com/regular-grids/

It’s that time of the year… We’re running experiments testing comprehension of elements that appear in comics. This one still needs participants, so if you’ve experience with reading comics and would like to help science (or lovely thesis students), here is the link: jatos.uvt.nl/publix/run?c...
JATOSjatos.uvt.nlI never thought about that with Jason’s books. That’s so true. 11yo has just walked out the door otherwise I would have put one of his in his hands to take in as a prop!
oh good call, Neil! I haven't seen this, but I know both Gene and Jason Shiga have math backgrounds and we talked about a collection of math comics makers (that never went anywhere besides that conversation...)
NEWS: We unveiled our KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic today, in partnership with NYC's Civics For All program, Project Open Arms, @nycimmigrants.bsky.social! Words by me, art @davidhahn.bsky.social, colors Ellie Wright, letters @tayloresposito.bsky.social. www.weteachnyc.org/resources/re... @mayor.nyc.gov
It was an interesting one, felt like I was helping to create some avant garde comics!
Just finished participating in this 👇
Neil CohnWant to help science about the understanding of comics? My lab is running several new studies about the cognition of comics! If you want to participate, here’s the first new study which relates to visual storytelling. Works on a Mac/PC and takes about 10-15 minutes jatos.uvt.nl/publix/run?c...
Using generative AI for imagery is **directly harmful** to artists, graphic designers, photographers etc. This isn't a vague moral argument: this is just normal, standard theft, except at a completely new scale and social acceptability. We need to reverse that. www.instagram.com/reel/DY2L2-g...
