The New York Comics & Picture-Story Symposium: Interview with Tom Motley
By The New York Comics & Picture-Story Symposium
The New York Comics & Picture-Story Symposium is a weekly forum for discussing the tradition and future of text/image work. Open to the public, it meets Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 PM EST in New York City. Presentations vary weekly and include everything from historical topics and technical demonstrations to creators presenting their work. Check out upcoming meetings here.
Tom Motley is a cartoonist, illustrator, and educator who's also been a longtime member of the NY Comics Symposium. His publications include Tragic Strip (a monthly strip in The Brooklyn Rail), The Golden Ass, One Marvelous Thing, The Twilight of the Bums, and many contributions to the indie anthology Cartozia Tales. He also teaches cartooning at the School of Visual Arts and illustration at Pratt. In the 1990s, he oversaw the comic-book collective Hector, "placing jam strips and experimental comics in zines, UG papers, and literary mags" in the U.S. and abroad.* You can see his life drawings and sketches on his sketchblog.
The Rumpus: I know you lived in Denver for many years before coming to New York. Can you talk about the comics scene there, as well as your introduction to the form? How did you encounter comics early on?
Motley: I'm a Denver native. I was there, toiling in obscurity, for almost the first fifty years of my life. I was always a comics fan. My dad kept his collection of comics from the '40s and '50s and I bought new stuff with my allowance. I sampled everything, and of course the cream rose to the top. Favorites included Jack Cole, Carl Barks, and Harvey Kurtzman, along with lesser-known great stuff like Klaus Nordling's The Barker. We got Mad every month, so I was influenced by Aragones, Don Martin, Jack Davis, et al. I loved Archie and Millie the Model as much as Justice League and The Brave and the Bold. In my early teens, I discovered undergrounds and went wild for them, especially R. Crumb and The Freak Brothers by Gilbert Shelton. Then National Lampoon came along with Cheech Wizard, Ed Subitzky's proto-Oubapoan porno comics, and so much great stuff.

My favorite new comic coming out as a kid was Not Brand Ecch. When I took up drawing in eighth grade, I began by copying Marie Severin panels from there. She had learned her craft, really well, from working on Mad comics at EC. Other images I remember copying were Bernie Wrightson's Swamp Thing, John Buscema's Mephisto from Silver Surfer, and Mike Ploog's Werewolf By Night. The first comic that made me think, That is so fucking cool, I have to devote my life to making something like this was probably Ploog's Ghost Rider. I still say that when I see something really impressive, most recently, probably, when I discovered the romance comics Matt Baker did for Archer St. John. Any page by Alex Toth can make that feeling well up in me.
I think I had the notion that if I were to memorize the three lines that shade a deltoid, say, and the three for a bicep, etc., I'd know how to draw a figure. I'll bet a lot of young artists start out thinking that. I was pretty sure drawing was something one could learn, and I wasn't wrong about that.

Rumpus: How did you start making comics yourself?
Motley: When I was at art school in St. Louis (Washington University), a chance encounter with Matt Feazell won me over to the DIY approach. So I returned to my parents' basement upon graduating and commenced to make comics under an assumption of complete creative freedom. Through a local fanzine, Fantasian, I made friends with other wannabe cartoonists and eventually convinced them to start an anthology. We called it Acme Comics and put out ten issues over a bit more than a decade, along with other projects, and held monthly meetings, group critiques, and stuff like that. The other guys (there weren't many girls interested in comics back then) were oriented toward making superhero fanfic at first, while I tried to get them to read Raw and Weirdo… Looking back, I think some of the tensions within the group reflected tensions within my own feelings about the medium. By the mid 1990s, we changed the group's name to The Squid Works. I believe they still meet every month, though the original people aren't involved.
Mere Anarchy, 2012
Rumpus: Your work is so full of movement and detail, yet you balance all of that activity with a strong sense of clarity. Can you talk about how you achieve that, and particularly how you compose your pieces? I'm thinking of something like the Yeats quote one.
Motley: Thank you for that.
After years of beating my head against the wall, comparing the good days to the bad ones, I finally figured out that composition is the key to the whole deal—seeing the picture as an interlocking configuration of positive and negative shapes, distorting figures and forms to make the configurations stronger, treating negative spaces as frames for pictures within the picture. If you can control that, you can cram your picture with story information without junking it up.
And the other key is gesture. My favorite comics are the ones bursting with life, like Krazy Kat and Cole's Plastic Man.

Rumpus: You make great use of constraints in your work, and I know you're an Oubapo enthusiast. How did you discover Oubapo, and how much do constraints continue to inform your practice?
Motley: From the influence of the undergrounds and the drugs I took in my teens, I was always inclined toward experimental approaches to my comics. At Wash U, I found a course taught by Emma Kafalenos on postmodern experimental fiction. She introduced me to the work of Robbe-Grillet, Sollers, Calvino, Raymond Federman, and others. Later, I discovered Queneau, Roussel, Perec, Borges, Beckett, …
Federman's seminal essay, "Surfiction," was a huge influence on my thinking about comics' potential. I eventually met and collaborated with Raymond, which was very gratifying.
So I was primed and ready when I discovered Warren Motte's Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature around 1990. I immediately started making comics based on the ideas in there. When I met Rikki Ducornet around that time, that was the first thing we talked about. Some years later, Rikki got me admitted to a workshop at DU conducted by Harry Mathews. It was Mathews who told me about Oubapo.
Like most writers and artists who work with constraints, I employ them some of the time, along with the other ideas I play around with, as part of a more general commitment to formalism. My feeling is that concentrating at first on formal problems helps me circumvent the more obvious ideas and surface sentiments, in order to reconnect with my passions and convictions on a deeper level.

Perverbs (for Harry Mathews), 1998
Rumpus: You've been posting your gorgeous on-location drawings to Your Daily Doodle and Your Daily Sketch for a while now. Can you talk about the role of life drawing in your practice? Are you thinking about collecting that work into any sort of larger project?
Motley: Thanks again. I owe my commitment to sketching to Gil Kane. I took a couple of workshops he taught in the 1980s, sponsored at comic conventions by Fantagraphics Books. He stressed that it's the hand that learns to draw. The study of art involves clocking the hours training one's hand. I took his advice and my work finally blossomed.
From yourdailydoodle.tumblr.com
The doodles are the opposite approach of formalism, more like surrealist automatic drawing. They're an equally productive source for ideas and techniques, as well as a way to interrogate my psyche.
From yourdailysketch.tumblr.com
I'd love to collect the best of that stuff, but there hasn't been much interest in it as far as I can tell. Folks, please scroll through the archives for a fun eye-blast (provided you don't mind the occasional naked lady picture):

Fable, 1998 (notice the spots on the cow's back)
Rumpus: Your work is very funny and your stories also showcase characters caught in situations beyond their control. Can you talk about your approach to humor and what kind of stories you're drawn to telling?
Motley: I'll tackle those in reverse order.
I've decided my favorite recurring theme involves showing the mechanisms whereby we justify doing unspeakable things to one another. I'm not very conscious of having a sense of humor, only a sense of justice, whose flip side, I think, is irony.
That said, there's an element of craft involved in setting up surprises and presenting ideas with comic timing that I always hope will draw a laugh from somebody.
May I add that one thing I like to do in my comics is hide little Easter eggs, allusions, and subordinate gags? I'm not sure anyone has noticed.
Rumpus: Following on the last several questions, what inspires you? Both in terms of comics, but also other media, etc.
Motley: I draw a lot of inspiration from literature and criticism (Northrop Frye is a favorite), but also music. My favorite songwriter is also my favorite living cartoonist: Peter Blegvad. My favorite instrumental music is by a Frenchman, Christophe Petchanatz, who issues songs under the name Klimperei, overdubbing toy instruments with melodicas, guitars, and more. When the Swedish accordionist/composer, Lars Hollmer, passed away a few years back, I was devastated. Still am. [Click here for Motley's gallery of favorite musicians.]
And there are all those fine artists and illustrators: Goya, Grosz, Picasso, Durer, Brueghel, Duchamp, Blake, Kley, Grandville, Tenniel, Posada…We all have our favorites, right?
More cartoonists I care about: Eisner, Elder, Wolverton, Wood, Kirby, Moscoso, Pinsent, Brown, Boswell…the list goes on and on.
Color doodle, 2010
Rumpus: You work almost exclusively in black and white, but you have some beautiful, atmospheric watercolors up on your sketch blogs. Is the palette force of habit, or a more particular choice?
Motley: It's from decades of having only cheap printing available, photocopy in particular. If I ever knew anything about painting, I fear I've forgotten. If you've liked any of my attempts at color, I'm immensely relieved. I'll try to use color more, now that it's not impractical.
Rumpus: Could you talk about the teaching that you do at SVA?
Motley: Ever since college, I've had a strong urge to share the things I learn and figure out. Maybe I'm wired that way and/or maybe I'm inspired by some of the great teachers I had along the way (Barry Schachtman, who taught figure structure at Wash U, especially). In Denver, I started by teaching at Colorado Free University and went on to conduct bunches of kids' after-school classes and summer camps. One highlight before I moved away was a weekly stint teaching cartooning to inmates at Arapahoe County Jail.
Thanks to my Oubapo-America friends (Matt Madden, Jason Little, Tom Hart, and Jessica Abel), I've been teaching at SVA, mostly in continuing ed. I'm also in the illustration department at Pratt Manhattan, in an associate's-degree program, and I do some after school classes in Brooklyn.
My cartooning-basics course at SVA is an in-depth, adult version of the minicomic-making course I developed for children. I teach an elective for undergrads called "Short-Form Comics," where I get them to try some of the experimental approaches discussed above. My continuing-ed Figure Drawing for Cartoonists is enrolling right now. It stresses those problems of movement and clarity you mentioned. Come sign up!
Cartozia postcard, 2013
Rumpus: You're working on a really cool, slightly Oubapo-esque project right now: Cartozia Tales. Can you tell us about how you hooked up with the project, how exactly the collaboration works, where it might be going?
Motley: Cartozia Tales is the brainchild of Isaac Cates, with whom I've collaborated over the years and even tabled with at MoCCA. It's about a fantasy world a group of us created by starting with a map, filling it with place names, and populating it with creatures and characters. The map is divided into nine sectors. Each issue, the sectors are randomly assigned to the core contributors and celebrity guests to set stories within. We find ourselves continuing stories begun by other players.
Isaac recruited a core group of brilliant young cartoonists to do this, plus me. I think the others were chosen for having talent with kids' comics and the fantasy genre. I'm there for my love of creative games. I'm a bit of an odd duck, but my quirkiness should enrich the project long-term.
The thing I never anticipated about this project is how incredibly fun it is to work on. If it's a tenth as fun to read as it is to make, it should be pretty entertaining. Watching these storylines develop without knowing which will be yours to continue, you find yourself fantasizing about all of them. Then seeing the whole thing morph as the game unfolds is pretty delightful. The public response surrounding the Kickstarter campaign was really enthusiastic. I believe we're pioneering a model for an approach to game-based comic anthologies that will be repeated with varying rules and structures by many more publishers. A lot of the cartoonists I talk to seem to want to take part in this. Maybe Isaac will get a genius grant someday.
cover to The Golden Ass by Mark D. Usher, David R. Godine, 2012
Rumpus: Can you talk about illustrating The Golden Ass?
Motley: Isaac Cates is also a poetry professor at the University of Vermont, and he put me in touch with one of their classics professors, Mark Usher, who was working on a version of Apuleius's classic for young readers. I signed on when I learned it was to be published by David R. Godine, whose catalog I admire (he put out some of Perec's great work in English).
The Golden Ass exerted a strong influence on western literature. We find echoes of it in Don Quixote, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Pinocchio, and more. I used the illustrations to hint at that, and to support the reading with decorated initials and silhouette dingbats to open and close each chapter. I like to try to give illustrations some job to do because, as we know, they aren't needed.
Classics Defenestrated, a Hector jam, 1991
an unpublished palindrome jam, 2005
My Life as a Spiderman, 1993
Rumpus: You use Tragic Strip, your comic strip in the Brooklyn Rail, to explore all kinds of unusual stories and surreal ideas. Dreams, transformation, sudden violence, absurd behavior, different planes of reality—a large bird hovers above a man and covers him with its shadow, a tiny mouse finds peace, you become a spider at an awkward cocktail party, and more. Can you talk about how Tragic Strip started and how you approach your stories for it?
Motley: The Tragic Strip evolved out of my Hector strips. Back to the story of my years in Denver: In 1990, I gathered a team of renegade cartoonists and artsy types to cooperate making two-tier strips for the weekly and zine markets. We shared the name Hector, made constrained jam comics, and experimented in all kinds of ways. I discovered a love of flash fiction. Many of the strips you mention were originally published as Hectors, and reformatted under the current name later. When the Brooklyn Rail invited me to contribute comics, I had the Tragic Strip masthead ready, along with a backlog of notes for more pieces. Even now, my newest work is often made from concepts I jotted down twenty or thirty years ago. As much as my skills permit, I try to let the individual idea determine the drawing style, layout, diction, and everything else.

Liam Neeson 'Amazed' at Success of 'Taken'
By David Weiner 10:03 AM PDT, September 27, 2012
Liam Neeson is back in the highly anticipated sequel to the sleeper hit Taken, in theaters October 5, and he reveals to ET that he was a bit surprised by the monumental success of the original film.
Video: Liam Neeson: Filming 'Grey' Was 'Terrifying'
"It had to be good and I had to be convinced that it was a story that would work, especially after the success of the first one," says Liam. "We were quite amazed when it became a big success."
Taken 2 finds retired CIA agent Bryan Mills in Istanbul on vacation with his wife and daughter (Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace). But when the Albanian kidnappers who first took his daughter – and paid the price dearly for it with a trail of bodies – track him down to get revenge, Mills will stop at nothing to save his kin. And yes, Mills uses his "particular set of skills" with no remorse…
"It's a chance to get back with these wonderful stunt guys again and do these fantastic fights and get to run quite a bit -- which is not as exciting -- but the fighting is, and that's always fun to do," says Liam.
Video: 'Unknown' Stars on Liam's Action-Hero Transformation
Taken 2 is directed by Olivier Megaton (Colombiana) and also stars perennial badass character actor Rade Serbedzija.

Marry Me: do you take the J-Lo/Owen Wilson romcom to be the weirdest film of 2022?
Jennifer Lopez proposes to Owen Wilson, a maths teacher she's never met. What was she thinking? How will it end? And does anyone care?
Nobody really wants it to be 2021, do they? A vicious global pandemic is about to enter its third year, the world is on fire and populist politics threatens to overturn democracy as we know it. Some people have reacted to these terrible times by trying to change things. Others are willing themselves back to a more innocent era.
By "others", I mean Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, who are doing their level best to make it 2005 again. How? By making a romcom, that's how. If this was a decade and a half ago, then Marry Me would automatically be one of the biggest hits of the year, bringing together the unstoppable forces responsible for Maid in Manhattan and Wedding Crashers. But it isn't 2005, it's 2021, and the thought of watching Lopez and Wilson shuffle through a romcom together is baffling. Perhaps it'd help to go through the Marry Me trailer beat by beat.

'Lucía, Luis y el lobo:' A Dreamy Nightmare
"Video art is like pornography. In pornography anything goes as long as there's sex, just as anything filmed can be video art," said Niles Atallah, one of the three creators of Lucía, Luis y el lobo ("Lucía, Luis and the wolf").
Photo courtesy Niles Atallah, Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León
With the awareness that not all video art is good, the three artists of this stop motion film, Niles Atallah, Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León, went to work. Stop motion animation, a frame-by-frame video created with individual, distinct photos, is produced in a similar fashion to pornography, Attallah and Cociña said in an interview, and this realization helped them make Lucía, Luis y el lobo what it is.
Photo courtesy Niles Atallah, Joaquin Cociña and Cristóbal León
Like pornography, Atallah said, video art is too general. Anything can be considered video art so long as it is filmed. A person could film a girl walking for three seconds, loop it for nine hours and project that on a gallery wall. For this reason he wanted the project to be "something that begins and ends" rather than something that carries on forever with no change or apparent meaning.
Hence, Lucía, Luis y el lobo is a series of two short videos, each three to four minutes in length, accompanied by some shorter animations. They each have a beginning and an end, forming a story of sorts that can still be viewed and appreciated for each individual moment.
In the first segment, named "Lucía," a young girl recounts her past experiences with Luis in a monologue. Luis had loved her at one point and yet she feared him because she believed he was a werewolf. The second video in the series, "Luis," is Luis´side of the story, where he speaks of his time in the woods and his relationship with Lucía. What happened between them is not entirely clear, though, since his words are expressed like passing, inconclusive thoughts.
As these two videos are projected onto the gallery wall, several shorter films are shown on screens embedded into a pile of dirt and furniture in the middle of the gallery floor. Visually, the films resonate a dark tone as charcoal images of Lucía, Luis, the wolf and a nighttime forest appear on the walls of the rooms on screen. Meanwhile furniture moves throughout the scene and breaks, as if being smashed by invisible hands like a metaphor of the story being told. A particularly stunning effect is shown in "Luis" when as his charcoal face exhales, the furniture in the film trembles as if blown by his very breath.
Photo by Jason C. Hickerson
While the entire work is visually poetic, the images' true merit is its restrained approach that doesn't put aesthetic style up on a pedestal. As Cociña explained, many people using stop motion animation tend to make it too much of a spectacle, simply because it is possible. With stop motion animation, any object can move and, as he described, sometimes this excessive freedom in turn can cause that spectacle. Limitations were put in place to help prevent Lucia, Luis y el lobo from evolving into something merely aesthetic: the artists decided to keep it black and white, with only one character and one room in each video, and to use only natural lighting, charcoal, dirt and furniture. The simplicity of these limitations granted them the freedom to create without overdeveloping the effects.
Although at the moment it is possible to view the "Lucía" part online, the experience of going to the gallery is something altogether different. Walking into the gallery is like entering an old fairytale (which partially inspired the style of the videos) or witnessing a dream transitioning into a nightmare while sleepwalking in a forest on a cool night.

– the idea of another kind of city, with other kinds of houses.
Asante architects, Carolina Wikström and Frida Öster, is an emerging architecture office that has been commissioned by Färgfabriken to what could be described as a drawing made out of wood and weaving. This pavilion is the idea of another kind of city, with other kinds of houses.
In the north of Tanzania Asante is working on a children's center. They have found great inspiration in the African tradition of craft and patterns. This tradition is especially strong with the Maasai people. The woven structures and patterns done in first round of frames was created by Maasai women.
The audience will be able to continue working on the pavilion's façade in workshops during the exhibition. In this way a cultural exchange and a weaving of the Tanzanian and the Swedish will eventually occur.
Instead of a city built by the few for the few, Stockholm could be built by the many for the many. A Stockholm built from the bottom up, by many different people's ideas and abilities. Asante imagines affordable urban houses built in organic materials. A city that is tactile and interesting on the human scale, with detailing at eye-level, within sight, within reach of our hands.
Stockholm needs urban planning that opens up the buildning of houses to completely new actors: so as to create a fine-grained mix both socially and architecturally. An urban weaving of urban diversity.

Filling our Mortal Kombat ad requirement for the month.
Mortal Kombat CD is the Mega CD port of the first game in the series. The game is packed with typical early CD game gimmicks – it even opens with a (low quality) version of the "Mortal Monday" commercial. While not quite up to the standard of the arcade game in visual terms, the sound is more than adequate and the gameplay is quite faithful. The load times are absolutely awful, though. This ad is an early teaser – the final version of the game had an MA-17 rating due to the infamous blood code no longer being required.

Inspiration is a fickle mistress—that's what I've learned during the last two months as I've struggle to find any sort of motivation to work on my book. There was a certain point this summer where I was so inspired to write about anything and then once that August lull hit I couldn't bring myself to do anything other than work and watch movies. I guess that's how it goes sometimes and I can't really blame myself for it; it's about working with your pace and what feels right. However, in the past week or so I've been incredibly motivated to focus on my blog a lot more than I have been. This blogging bug usually gets me in September when everything feels like a new beginning and I'm trying to embrace it while it's still here. There are moments when I feel guilty that I'm not working more on my book or writing more articles to submit to online magazines, but I'm learning that it's just as important to ride the wave of creativity as it is to try and accomplish everything on your to-do list.
If you haven't had the chance to browse my blog recently, here's a list of a few new posts. I hope to continue working on more as the weeks progress and try my best to plan and write some in advance so that I am able to stick to a 2 posts a week schedule. Maybe once I get a bit more settled with my move to England I'll be able to blog a little bit more in the near future.
Going forward there area few things I want to change when it comes to my writing schedule and a few things I want to strive for with regards to my blog and my fiction writing.
Firstly, I want to stop thinking about my creative writing as a job because it discourages me so much from doing it. In this day and age, with all the bloggers who have made this hobby their career, there is an immense pressure (in my opinion) to strive to be like them and gain as many followers or as many brand deals as possible. I tried to do this for a while and it didn't make me very happy; I lost some of the inspiration I initially had for the hobby and I stopped posting as much I would have liked to. In the next few months I want to try my best to post at least twice a week on my blog about topics that genuinely interest and excite me without worrying whether or not they are "brand friendly" or if more people will follow along. I just want to create a platform that is fun for me to share on.
Secondly, I want to be more organized with my time and try to factor in enough for my fiction writing as well as blogging and a full-time job. Just writing this is making me nervous because it already sounds like I won't have enough time to do anything, but I know that I can manage it all if I put in the necessary amount of effort. If I do manage to stay on top of it all I know that I will feel very accomplished by the end of it, rather than if I were to give up in a few week's time and feel like I haven't completed any goal I set out to.
Keep an eye out for more posts coming your way every Tuesday and Thursday! I am scheduling a few in advance so I don't feel incredibly pressured for time once I move and have to settle into a new place.

I recently spoke to a dynamic group of non-profit leaders. Like many in their profession, they are feeling the challenges and pressures of our world today: shifting community demands and political circumstances, resource challenges and mounting problems requiring innovative solutions. The crush of pressures led many to say they awoke in the morning already feeling overwhelmed by the day's upcoming demands.
The turning point in our conversation was our discussion about the real issue behind the issues—people tend to believe the way to feel better is to be able to control these external circumstances. Yet, the truth is that we will never be able to control anything other than our own actions – in other words, our leadership. Once we become aware that true power to change circumstances begins with ourselves, change in all the things around us can begin to happen.
My leadership model lays out the process for individuals to take ownership of their power. In the example of moving from scarcity to prosperity focusing on the power of conscious choice is key. By mindfully deciding which end of the issue to focus on, individuals can move from lack to opportunity.
If people can start with the belief that nothing is "wrong," rather that the are conditions that exist that can change, the power to create solutions increases because we are not pushing against what is, instead we shift the focus to resolution and how to move forward with greater clarity and ease. What if, "the community needs us to do more" becomes "we have the opportunity to have a bigger impact and inspire new solutions." Or perhaps, "government cuts are hurting us" becomes "we have a greater opportunity to do the work we love." Whatever the issue, is it a problem or a pathway?
Ultimately leadership is about the ability to focus on what can be done and inspiring the action to achieve it. Too often, we minimize our power by keeping our focus outside our control. By consciously choosing to focus on what we can do we shift our attention to the possibilities—and that's where true change and transformation take place.

Sacrilegiously, the Bemolution's favourite rendition of landmark Morrissey/Marr track 'The Headmaster Ritual' isn't even by The Smiths. Like a lot of the band's early to mid-period output (although they were around for such a short time that beginning middle and end sort of blur into one) some fairly anaemic live performances let down magnificent material. By 1986, the original four-piece would be bolstered by Craig Gannon at live gigs, an acknowledged pain in the arse but a competent rhythm guitarist and, as such, a source of much-needed extra heft on stage.
Here, though, the laddish Mancunians (plus Morrissey) have been swapped out for a bunch of public school boys from Abingdon. Radiohead are often not so much anaemic as face down in the spaghetti Bolognese, but they bring sufficient feeling to Moz's angsty condemnation of his own violent education.

Q: Firebase queryEqualToValue get Key in Swift 2.3 I am developing a small application in iOS using Swift and Firebase. I am having trouble querying a data and retrieving the value.
My firebase realtime database is this:
"qrcode" : {
   "postsedation_room" : "http://bing.com",
   "preprocedure_room" : "http://google.com",
   "presedation_room" : "http://en.m.wikipedia.org"
}

I would like to make this query :
let query = rootRef.child("qrcode").queryEqualToValue("http://bing.com")

query.observeSingleEventOfType(.Value, withBlock: { snapshot in
   print(snapshot)
})

print a key value "postsedation_room".
At this point the result of print is
Snap (qrcode) <null> could you help me so that I can print key given the child value?

A: When you execute a query against the Firebase Database, there will potentially be multiple results. So if you attach a value observer the snapshot contains a list of those results. Even if there is only a single result, the snapshot will contain a list of one result.
So in your observer you'll need to handle that list. The easiest way to do that is to iterate over it:
let query = rootRef.child("qrcode").queryOrderedByValue().queryEqualToValue("http://bing.com")

query.observeSingleEventOfType(.Value, withBlock: { snapshot in
   for child in snapshot.children {
      print(child.key)
   }
})

Alternatively you can observe a single childAdded eventL
let query = rootRef.child("qrcode").queryEqualToValue("http://bing.com")

query.observeSingleEventOfType(.ChildAdded, withBlock: { snapshot in
   print(snapshot.key)
})
