The Art of Storytelling by Jack Korvis

The Art of Storytelling
Biography – I am studying for a general degree in Liberal Arts. For me, art has always been a source of entertainment. I took to novels, comics, and movies as a form of escapism and I am heavily inspired by pop culture. Life can be mortifyingly boring, and art helps to get out of your head. Because of this, I am a firm believer in low art. Art should entertain, shock, and inspire its viewers. It should not be a commodity hoarded by the wealthy to be hung above the mantlepiece, lest it be treated purely as a decoration to fill space. That, I think, is the greatest shame of all.
My art seeks to entertain through absurdism. I enjoy comic books most of all, I believe they hold the greatest potential for expression through storytelling. If you would like to see something interesting, I would recommend checking out Goodnight Punpun (Inio Asano), The Amazing Screw-On Head (Mike Mignola), Steins Gate (5b and Nitroplus), The Mask (John Arcudi), Takopi’s Original Sin (taizan5), Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson), Look Back (Tatsuki Fujimoto), No Longer Human (Junji Ito), The Greatest Estate Developer (BK Moon), Delusion (Hongjacga), Bone (Jaff Smith), Love Advice From The Great Duke of Hell (unfins), SHOGUNNED (Honesty O.), The Crow (James O’Barr), Pigpen (Carnby Kim), Soloist in a Cage (Shiro Moriya), Hell’s Paradise (Yuji Kaku), Ranma ½ (Rumiko Takahashi), Pan’s Labyrinth (Guillermo del Toro), Kung Fu Hustle (Stephen Chow), and Slay the Princess (Black Tabby Games).
