Place Into Being

Robert Pasternak (NAK) is without a doubt an undisputed master of the sequential art form. A virtuosopanalologist and craftsman, known regionally by only an elite few of attentive and aware followers. One can only speculate why this is so. In many ways it is part of the NAK mystery and lore. What you hold in your hands is the Caesarea Sunken Treasure, the Hope Diamond, a Faberge Egg, the crown jewel of abstract comics. While the term abstract is in no way negative, calling this work abstract is unfair and a disservice to the ocular candy that is NAK's work. You have serendipitously unearthed a trove ofspectacular a singular works of art that compositionally and cerebrally bend the mind and push what you know about comics to the very edge of a razor blade and balance perfectly thereupon. You are invited to share in the NAK experience, with this, his first authentic published volume of work. Except no substitutes. You are invited to join the cult of NAK. Or, you can walk away, we won't mind. NAK certainly won't mind. Therein lies the paradox. But, who walks away from the Hope Diamond?

Robert Pasternak (NAK) este fara indoiala un maestru incontestabil al formei de arta secventiala. Un virtuosopanalolog si mester, cunoscut regional de doar o elita putina de adepti atenti si constienti.
