Sobre IBD

Using conceptual methods popularized in music composition by John Cage, cartoonist/musician Todd Webb creates the experimental comic strip series Chance Operations, one of the first truly 'indeterminate' comics. Chance Operations is an exercise in allowing formal constraints to decide the content and design of a sequential artwork - while Webb draws the comics, he does not 'write' them, so to speak, instead using coin tossing and dice to determine the images and texts which make up the work. Experimental comics artist Warren Craghead describes Webb’s book as 'Conceptually focused and stunningly drawn, Chance Operations is a radical and beautiful experiment you can’t stop looking at. After reading one sees connections, narratives and beauty everywhere - this work helps me see the world as comics and makes me want to draw.' A must-have for any lover of conceptual art, poetry, or experimental comics.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
