Chris Ware

Whilst I love the work of Ware there id an obvious difference in our work (and so their should be). It is not stylistically that he inspires me, it is just the simple effective way he conveys narrative in sequence.

additionally Ware works with primarily speech/dialogue included. Again this is not how I work, but what I can take away is that you can gather a story without them. Visually there is a story being told. I think his work is a great example of the basics done well; reminding me not to over do it or not to "trick out" my work too much.


As wiht what I am communicating in my work; Ware's work is based on figures, human interactions, the interplay of people within their environments. The juxtaposition between person and their space.
