Synopsis
by Dan Clowes
Art School Confidential follows Jerome, an art student who dreams of becoming the greatest artist in the world. The short comic story by Dan Clowes was originally published in his comic book series Eightball, but it is presented here with an entirely new narrative only tangentially resembling the original comic. For this book, the strip will be presented in full-color for the first time. This scrapbook/screenplay also features the shooting script for the film adaptation, including several scenes edited out from the final cut. It also boasts two full-color sections jammed with photos, artwork, and many other surprises.

About the Author
Daniel Clowes lives in Oakland, CA, with his wife and son.
From Booklist
Clowes' second screenplay, after the Oscar-nominated adaptation of his graphic novel Ghost World (1997), features a larger but equally eccentric cast of misfits. Its ripe-for-skewering setting is filled with naive, young would-be artists and jaded professors. The focal character is Jerome, a freshman equally obsessed with becoming the greatest artist of the twenty-first century and with getting somewhere with gorgeous model Audrey. The early scenes establishing the milieu and introducing the characters, many only by type (e.g., Beat Girl, Suburban Girl, Kiss-Ass), are the most entertaining. When the plot about a serial killer stalking the campus takes over, the story settles into something less compelling and more conventional (it doesn't help that the murderer's identity is pretty obvious). Fans of Clowes' comics may picture the characters in his distinctive visual style and wish he weren't trying to fit his peculiar sensibility into such worn frameworks as the coming-of-age story, the love story, and the murder mystery. What director Terry Zwigoff did with Clowes' script will be seen when the movie opens in April. Gordon Flagg
