Art School confidential


Written and drawn by Daniel Clowes to fill the last four pages of his comic Eightball in 1991, I find Art school confidential to be an excrutiatingly truthfull accout of art school. It is testiment to the notion of honesty in a piece of work being key; in the same way that pekars accounts of everyday life strike acord with the reader, so two in Art school confiential the reader is automatically put at ease and on side with the artist by his honest, if condensed, account of art school.


apologies, page two nowhere to be found on interweb.
