The Invisible Life of a Poet

The Invisible Life of Poet, a comic strip by Christopher Stetson Wilson, is on display at Blue State Coffee until the end of April. One of Wilson’s comics particularly addresses the conversation our class had with Gary Hustwit on the pervasive nature of trademarks. In the comic, titled “Speaking of Trademarks”, the two characters have an entire conversation using only logos. It’s a great commentary on meaning the American (and international) public attaches to certain brand logos. You can see it in person at Blue State or check out the website at: http://www.lifeofpoet.com/archives/176
