Over the past several months, the concept of 24-Hour Comics (which will furthermore be referred to here as “the exercise”) has been a popular—and oft debated—one among my compatriots at the Fine Arts Guild.
Some (like Brad) are passionate about “the exercise”--designed to shake up one’s creative centers and break new ground—and make a concerted effort to pull off one monthly, while others in the group see 24-Hour Comics as a sidebar to be enjoyed only occasionally.
As for me, I have never done a 24-Hour Comic and likely never will. I simply would not benefit from the experience. Versus concentrating all my efforts into a creative short burst, I would much rather go for the long haul – and establish something that is feature-length (hopefully, with a shot at publication).
Sure, “the exercise” can expand one’s creativity at a spate, but I personally feel it does little to home one’s artistic M.O. in the long run.
Or at least that’s my take on it…I could be wrong…
