An Interpretation of the First Two Chapters of Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus in the Form of Drawings

These are great, and above all, they illustrate (figuratively and literally) that Deleuze and Guattari’s ideas are most comprehensible when visualized. Who could read the phrase “body without organs” and not attempt to picture that idea? It helps that the drawings retain some mystery, as part of the joy of reading D&G is the way you struggle with visualization in a way that strikingly resembles reading Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, i.e. you can kinda sorta picture in your mind what it might look like but this process of visualization works best when you must struggle against impossibility.

I wish there were a whole set of drawings for the entirety of Anti-Oedipus.
