B&G Chapters 7 and 8

In this weeks reading, I was especially attracted to the section on digital art. I am a person who loves art, so it was interesting to see how the digital aspects of it made it different. On page 135 the sentence that read, " Digital art often refashions popular illustration-- above all, science fiction and fantasy illustration from comic books and pulp fiction book covers" struck my attention. I have read several cominc books and never even though about how the art is what is telling the story, sometimes more than the dilogue. The use of digital art helps emphasize certain aspects of this art that help the story flow. I loved how the author descibed this as "visual immediacy," becasue that is exactly what digital are is! We have been talking about immediacy, and now we can see how this is done through digital art.
