VHS Covers

Artist known as Steelberg creates nostalgic creative downcycles some of today’s most popular television shows and films by imagining them as plastic VHS cases. The worn titles, with their distressed cover images, are reminiscent of the cases you’d rent from Blockbuster Video in the late 20th century—”Be kind rewind” stickers and all.

Hey Matt huge fan here! I'm curious about something after having a discussion I had with my girlfriend. Would you consider comic books/ graphic novels literature? As in teachable in schools and whatnot. Or more of a sub category of its own design?

no; i’d consider comic books and graphic novels comic books and graphic novels, and very MUCH teachable in schools and whatnot. a vital artform with its own history language idiom craft and culture. i think a lot of bad thinking happens when someone applies the critical frameworks of one artform to another and takes the result as a given. comics shares a lot with the written word. it shares a lot with the drawn image. it shares a lot with film. but there are things unique to comics and only comics that, were the reverse applied, would be all the more obvious.
