Situated somewhere between indie comics, lowbrow art and underground comics. Sol Nte's third comic is a graphic novel that criss-crosses various artistic styles to tell a story about a comic making itself, emerging from the absence of ideas in the manner of John Cage's famous dictum "I have nothing to say and I'm saying it". Theoretically the work arises from inspiration as diverse as the zines of Harmony Korine, Ray Johnson's Mail Art, the art of the Cobra Movement and James Kochalka's theory that "craft is the enemy" in the creation of comics. What emerges from this expansive esoteric mix is a unique minimal narrative set in a truly weird painted and drawn world: Inspired by Lynda Barry, Mark Beyer, Chester Brown, Jeffrey Brown, John Porcellino, Ivan Brunetti, Daniel Clowes, Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Julie Doucet, Bud Fisher, Rob Liefeld, Stephen Platt, Dave Sim, Philip Guston, George Herriman, Richard McGuire, Archer Prewitt, Gary Panter, Charles Schulz, Joe Sacco, Seth, Art Spiegelman, Adrian Tomine, Rodolphe Topffer, Chris Ware, Ed Piskor, Jim Rugg, Kevin Huizenga, Lewis Trondheim and Jim Woodring.
