1130 Notes

Jack Kirby’s work space. Absolutely my favorite and most inspiring image I’ve seen in a while. I love how unpretentious and no-bullshit it is. It’s a plain desk, with a plain chair and a plain side chair, all of which are beat up from use and covered in ink. It faces a corner, one that’s covered in unorganized comics. It’s inspiring to see the desk that held the home of creation for countless characters was so practical. Nothing fancy about it. Just a place to sit down, shut up and do the work.

    We all should hope one day to leave such a filthy desk behind. Respect to the man.

    It’s not about money. It’s not about the royalties he deserved. It’s about the work. The sweat. Hours upon hours worked...
