After a really long time I come back to my blog. For some time recently I have been thinking about comics and Computer Vision. Comics and more generally Non-Photorealistic Rendering techniques http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~stefans/npr/nprpapers.html
provide a different representation/sketching of visual scenes that might be useful in many cases.
Some random references include:

2. For an introduction to issues of perception in art, two books: Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud, and Picture This by Molly Bang
