Redeeming Vision was mentioned in @CTmagazine’s new and noteworthy section! And they quoted the book’s opening invitation, which is one of my favorite sentences.

say it loud 📢 good thread

They address it in the original thread but I can’t get over it today, so I just want to say as loudly as I can: social media success is not the same thing as artistic success. The two things are distinct and only *sometimes* related.

still my favorite comic book memory from my youth - went to the store every week waiting for the next issue… how has this arc never been a movie ?

Hot take: Marvel 2099 lasted as long as it did because Rick Leonardi's art on those first two years of Spider-Man 2099 made it their most visually dynamic book after the Image exodus.

Despite how this story may sound, Istvan was very generous and welcoming ... as I was coming up in the field, he treated me with more respect than I deserved. A hero and illustration legend. RIP. /6

Istvan's work in the 90s helped usher in the new 'flat approach' to illustration that was line based and eventually digitally colored - clearing the path for folks like and other early paradigm breakers. /5

The noble tried to get us back on track, but the whole thing went off the rails after that. The only other thing I remember is Istvan's gremlin smile throughout. He was one of a kind... a rare talent. /4

My memory of his answer was something like, "Never. I have never had an art director do anything but ruin a perfectly good image. They can't help but make things worse." The immediately sent the audience howling with laughter. /3

The session was a group discussion about how an art director can help you make your best work. He gets the first question: "Istvan, can you tell us about a time when a trusted art director made your work better?" /2
