Pixels of You
Feb. 8th, 2022 01:13 pmIt's so good it's so good it's so good.

I got the physical edition in the mail, read it, and cried a lot. I'm now re-reading the digital version in order to take screencaps, and I'm crying even more. It's so beautiful, and so good.
Pixels of You is about a human/AI romance between artists. They're initially rivals, in that the human takes retro long-exposure photos of models that the AI finds objectifying, while the AI takes close-up photos of plants and flowers that the human finds too "safe." The human's relationship with a cybernetic implant turns out to be extremely complicated, while the AI's explanation for why she's interested in plants is something I've been trying to express about my own art for almost two years now.
Okay stop, hold on, I have to go get some tissues...
...all right, we're good. Anyway, being able to write about Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota's newest project as a professional comics reviewer is a dream come true. I have a review due by the end of the weekend, and I will do my best.
