I'd not seen his work before. At first glance it reminded me a bit of Richard Corben, then the general freakiness of it started making me think of Alan Aldrige who is an illustrator associated with the Beatles. in particular his book illustrations for the 'Butterfly Ball' & 'Peacock Party'. A bit tangential but do you see what I mean? Soemthing about the eerie, vivid quality of it and use of bright colors. Cartoony but hyper-real at the same time:

ReplyDeleteChuck I like the Aldridge stuff quite a bit.
