"No longer burdened by pretentious notions of making 'art', I am concerned with refining and communicating specific ideas of changing others' conciousness. This is pretentious, but it's much more fun."
-Justin Green
"...contrary to what you've been told by pop-culture historians, comics did not exactly begin in the 1890's with The Yellow Kid or Little Nemo. As an art-driven storytelling medium, comics go back at least as far as the mid-nineteenth century and, arguably, to Goya, the Greek and Roman frescos, the Bayeaux Tapestry, and the cave walls of Lascaux."
