More quotes by Chris Ware
I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.
Chris Ware
Cartooning isn't really drawing, any more than talking is singing... The possible vocabulary of comics is by definition unlimited, the tactility of an experience told in pictures outside the boundaries of words, and the rhythm of how these drawings 'feel' when read is where the real art resides.
Chris Ware
My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.
Chris Ware
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
Chris Ware
There's something very strange and wrong-seeming about drawing realistic eyeballs in comics, at least in the mode of comics where action is carried more by the movement of the characters rather than where narration links disparately framed selected images.
Chris Ware
I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other.
Chris Ware
There is absolutely no single aspect of one's personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics.
Chris Ware
The modern world seems to make fun of people in a lot of ways.
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
Chris Ware
The thing I don't understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it's all the creation of some alien race.
Chris Ware
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
Chris Ware
I guess I just don't like being physically in front of people I don't know very well, because I expect to be seen through, or, even worse, instantly hated.
Chris Ware
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.
Chris Ware
Lately, I cant shake the feeling that Ive been living a dream for the last 10 years or so I cant account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.
Chris Ware
I have a preponderance to look smug in photos something to do with the way my mouth turns up at the corners.
Chris Ware
My grandmother was an unparalleled storyteller who gave me a preview of how life might turn out, and also fortified my empathy.
Chris Ware
No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or real art they simply think it's a bad cartoon.
Chris Ware
One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.
Chris Ware
I can definitely say that of all my friends who I consider to be really great cartoonists, we're all trying to aim at basically the same thing, which is an ever closer representation of what it feels like to be alive.
Chris Ware
I believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
