Your “where it happens” shot is irrelevant.
Jack Kirby’s work space.
Absolutely my favorite and most inspiring image I’ve seen in a while.
I love how unpretentious and no-bullshit it is. It’s a plain desk, with a plain chair and a plain side chair, all of which are beat up from use and covered in ink. It faces a corner, one that’s covered in unorganized comics. It’s inspiring to see the desk that held the home of creation for countless characters was so practical. Nothing fancy about it. Just a place to sit down, shut up and do the work.
Respect.
The desk that created worlds.

Alex Ross - not the comics painter, the other one, the extremely smart guy who writes about music for the New Yorker among other places.

Burroughs called his room, which was once the locker room at the 222 Broadway YMCA ‘the Bunker.’
