It is well established that comic books are no longer just for kids. They continue to reach new audiences across age groups and demographics, enticing a readership with amazing graphics, color, movement and dramatic tension. As a result of this expanded prevalence in our culture, the opportunities for creating new artworks and designs that resonate with a broader market have increased exponentially. Whether abstractly or directly, the visual memes and tropes of comics are readily adaptable and recognizable. Incorporated into modern art and design they buzz with vitality. Comics Fever looks at contemporary creatives who have been inspired by the art form to create new work across a variety of disciplines, including fashion, jewelry, editorial and packaging design, popular art and photography.
