Blue Sky Through the Window of a Moving Car: Comics for Beautiful, Awful and Ordinary Days
Blue Sky Through the Window of a Moving Car: Comics for Beautiful, Awful and Ordinary Days | Jordan Bolton
1 post | 1 read
Jordan Bolton's Blue Sky Through The Window of A Moving Car is a poignant collection of comics that explore universal experiences and emotions through art and poetry. Small yet powerful, and equal parts heart-breaking and heart-warming, these poetic comics are intensely relatable and go straight to the heart of what it means to be human. Most of life is made up of mundane moments on ordinary days. But every moment, every good day, bad day, and average day, had to happen exactly the way that it did for you to exist. Everything that made you, connects us all in small, invisible, and beautiful ways. This first comic collection from artist Jordan Bolton explores the fleeting details that unite us. Jordan brings together the visual language of comics with the heartfelt language of poetry, to express moments of love and heartbreak, embarrassment and shame, hope and disappointment, grief and happiness. Split into sections that reflect where we spend the majority of our time--In Public, In Transit, and At Home--Bolton shines spotlights on the lives and stories unfolding around us every day that we might otherwise ignore. With the addition of new and unseen comics, Blue Sky Through The Window of A Moving Car is a gentle reminder that everything is ordinary, everything is extraordinary, and everything is connected.

Zoomed through that like candy, though I didn't mean to!
The brief introduction gave an interesting frame to view the comics from, and just like when I've encountered the artist's work in Tumblr, I just found myself quietly swept away for a single moment each time. I'm struggling not to over or under sell the collection, I think the subtitle is a perfect description. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 If you'd like to be somewhere else, but somewhere else relatable, for a series of moments, give it a try. 2w
