Welcome to The Nerve Atom Visual Literture Project, other wise known as the project with the longest name in the history of projects and the one that makes people always ask- What's with the Nerve Atom bit? Let me explain.
The idea of this project started when I was out of work, ill, and really trying my best to keep my head on my shoulders in a healthy way. One of the things helping me fill my days was checking out graphic novels from libraries since I did not have the money to buy anything for my personal collection. I also noticed how some libraries had many, a few, or basically zero graphic novels on their shelves. I wanted to do something to help others see how much of a great link graphic novels and libraries can be. The big basic of this project is we commisson artists to do work which you can order on different merchandise and the money will go towards buying graphic novels, which will be donated to local libraries in the Brevard County area of Melbourne Florida. Run on sentance there got a bit crazy.
But I hope the project becomes much more than that. I want it to become an educational tool for libraries and artists to see how great of an art form visual literture truly is and how it can be beniftional to both parties to work together. The things I will be trying to add in the next couple weeks are artist files, artist guides and suggestions, interviews with artists and librarians, top-ten lists of people's favorite graphic novels, and reviews of books when we start buying them to go to libraries.
If anyone has any questions about this project or views on how we can make things better, including all the little errors that come up with a site being in progress within its beginings, you can comment on this blog or email:

The Nerve Atom Visual Literature Project
- The Nerve Atom Visual Literature Project
- The Nerve Atom Visual Literature Project is simply a project started when Brian C. Williams was sitting at home after leaving a job that was hard on his soul and after months of depression he wanted to help and one of the things making him feel better during this time was the fact that local libraries were stocking more and more graphic novels but he saw that they in most cases were the last thing noticed by growing funding cuts along the library system when it came to orders; so, he decided with a little money he had to hire a great artist, get some people together, and create a place to raise money and awareness for putting even more graphic novels in libraries in his area. The online side of this project is for the most part run by one person, during their spare time; so, please let us know about any errors you spot on any of our websites and any suggestions you may have to make this project reach its goals.
The Goals of the N.A.V.L.P.
The main goals of the Nerve Atom Visual Literature Project is to put graphic novels on library shelves and to educate libraries in the nature of visual literture. Though our main goal is raising money to buy books for local libraries, we hope this website will become a very educational tool for those in the library system and those in graphic arts also.
