The artist of the day happens to be a personal favorite of mine. After reading Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, by Chris Ware, I was completely impressed with his control of the medium. The surface appears so simple, but further examination may reveal depth of imagination and emotion. Such is Mr. Ware's artwork. Down to the minute detail and painfully deliberate pacing, each panel is constructed with the an air of melancholy. The first read alone may leave the reader emotionally and inspirationally spent. Isn't that what a good artist should do, connect with its viewer/reader? I would highly recommend reading his work, if not just to see what I'm talking about, but also because it's breathtaking.
