A scanned image of a sketchbook page with six panels containing drawings and text. Panel one: A wolf looking at a computer screen. Text above him reads "One night, to amuse myself, I googled "shittiest camera." Panel two: A Minolta Master C-503 VHS-C video camera and a Time Magazine 35mm camera. Text above it reads (I have a particular interest in low end photography equipment.) Panel three: A depiction of images from an internet image search showing various cameras. Text in the panel reads "Among the returns was something that looked like a parody of a "bad camera..." Panel four: A drawing of a homemade camera. Text in the panel reads "An amateurish construction of mossy cardboard, clothes elastic, and thread spools, held together with road asphalt." Panel five: A drawing of a bearded man with white hair holding a camera with a telephoto lens. Text in the panel reads "And that is how I discovered the words of Miroslav Tichý." Panel six: A drawing of developed 35mm film unfurled on a flat surface. Text in the panel reads "To be reductive: Tichý was an artist who did not thrive, mentally or artistically, in what was Czechoslovakia. Well that depends on how you define "thrive."

A scanned image of a sketchbook page with six panels containing drawings and text. Panel one: A man with long hair following a woman in the street while holding a camera. Text above them reads "From the early 70's to 1985, he made perhaps thousands of photographs, printing dozens every night." Panel two: A bearded man standing at a chain link fence, looking beyond this boundary. Text in the Czech language points towards his subject, reading POOL." Text above him reads "They only came to public light when an artist friend shared them with (the) broader art world.* (see also: Henry Darger) Panel three: Two men looking at photographs mounted on a gallery wall, positioned above a vitrine containing home made camera equipment. Text above them reads "Exhibitions held in the last years of his life around Europe and the Americas cemented his legacy as a kind of "artistic outsider of high regard." Panel four: Various framed photographs with faded, indistinct human forms laid over each other. Text below them reads "All of his photographs were of women taken by surprise, or from afar, without their knowledge." Panel five: A partial view of one such photograph. Text above it reads Due to the miserable quality of his hand made equipment, all have a truly dreamy, other-worldly look to them." Panel six: A gallery wall with Miroslav Tichý impressed upon it, next to framed photographs. text below them reads "He would be a notable component in the evolving conversation of art, boundary, sexuality, and above all, consent. If any of this would be discussed in his work."

A scanned image of a sketchbook page with four panels containing drawings and text. Panel one: A close-up of a drawing of Miroslav Tichý's face. Text above and below it reads "This is why I hesitate to casually bring up his works in artistic discussions, at least publicly. Panel two: A cartoon drawing of a canine wearing glasses playing tennis. Text below them reads "I make "terrible" works all the time. Friends compliment me on my "confidence" in my linework. I guess my urge for sharing an idea surpasses quality control." Panel three contains only text: "So, on this #makeaterriblecomicday2025 , I ask you to consider a lesson from a terrible source. Because we must push past out own hesitation on regarding something "terrible-" artwork from out own hands that we can barely stand to look at. Because in the eyes of our friends, even terrible works are a joy to behold." Panel four: A drawing of a homemade 35mm camera with a telephoto lens. Below it, a quote: "If you want to be famous, you must do something worse than anyone else in the entire world." -Miroslav Tichý
