Fullbright: The middle child at peace
november 2009 by infovore
"...maybe this is the best of both worlds. An audience that, having crossed the barriers to entry, is by its nature more invested in our work; a public profile by which we have the means to occasionally reach into the mass consciousness, but which affords us the freedom to continue experimenting with subject, form, and style; an industry which is truly international; which is capable of producing both multi-million dollar blockbusters and single-creator labors of love (and releasing both on the same platform); which manages to be neither too big nor too small, and is the more vital, unique and exhilarating for it. We are a medium for us, and while there are more and more of us every day, we'll never be for everyone. In a way, that's beautiful." I think Steve's about right.

Jonathan Jones: Alan Moore knows the score | Art and design | guardian.co.uk
october 2008 by infovore
"...we're always being told art should disturb. Moore makes artists like the Chapmans look like the middle-class entertainers they are. He's a real force of imagination in a world that is full of fakes. If there was any justice this man would get the Turner Prize."

Fabulous panel-by-panel commentary on Matt Fraction's first issue of Invincible Iron Man from the man himself. Spoiler warning, obviously, but otherwise, it's great.
