Thanks for taking the time to check out the newly
revamped/revised American Dischord homepage. I've put a lot of
time into investing a redesign for this baby of mine. Sorry for
any typos that may occur as well, had to do a somewhat rush job
to meet my own imposed deadline.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The works created for American
Dischord employ the latest in traditional and digital art
technology to create stunning graphic novels and commercial
images. We label our work Novella Graphique, one of the last
truly original American art styles with Realist overtones. The
phrase 'comic book' has brought with it so many negative
underlying meanings, it's become time to separate ourselves from
the common minded individual. These aren't funny books,
but may contain funny situations. These aren't cute or
cuddly, although you may find a teddy bear or two spatting out
classic punchlines behind the barrel of a .22. These are
most likely the most imaginitive classes of books you will ever
witness, or at least we aim so. Also, the tales contained within
are meant to be fun, entertaining, and unique in its own. We've
found that graphic novel artwork is rooted in everyday life, but
has illusions of fantasy or wonder. We feel that American
Dischord represents the future of modern storytelling. There are
dozens of twists and turns in the American Dischord Universe
that will keep the eye and mind keen.
We can generally be found
working traditionally in mixed mediums, mostly consisting of
Bristol boards and pencils and/or inks, then converting to
digital files; which are finalized using various techniques and
programs. Through our methods we believe that American Dischord
has a shot at the mainstream success of the bigger publishing
houses. There are currently a dozen projects in the works along
with a few mini-series events. Literally hundreds of pages are
press ready, leaning towards the thousand mark, and going
strong. We aim to change the everyday readers perception of the
graphic novel/comic book maket and how it should exceed our
predecessors in every category imaginable. We have pushed the
envelope for production value and will never apologize for that.
Our long term goals are to show what a novella can contain and
show the ones we've looked up to for so long to do as well.
Mostly of what readers will
witness for the next few years abroad from American Dischord
Publishing are the deliberate stellar creations of Shelby
W. Robertson, founder and creator of the American
Dischord Label. There are also other creators with the
like-minded goals at hand under the American Dischord banner;
all of whom are to be viewed individually and with the precious
care they've shown in their own productions.
Enjoy.... and don't forget....
