Sam Brown's artistic talents are legion. His combination of color, line drawings and perspective - coupled with his genius dark humor - have sucked me into many an hour long perusal of his website explodingdog.com. He welcomes his audience's participation in his art - send him an email with a potential title for an original work and see how/if he incorporates it into a new piece.This collection of pieces makes for an excellent coffee table book - or for just an occasional not-so-subtle reminder
With the deceptively simple use of line of Matt Groening or James Thurber, the deft and elegant use of color of Chris Ware or Hergé, the cinematographic eye of Eric Drooker, and the combined sense of dark humor and nostalgic sadness of Edward Gorey, Brown has created a sparse and engrossing novella that stands beautifully, beckoningly outside of any of the established forms or conventions of the comic book or the graphic novel to date. Like a medieval tapestry of Nathaniel West’s Miss Lonelihear...
I liked the artwork, and taking each page as a single piece with caption is probably the best way to "read"/view it. But the overall narrative left me as befuddled as the two main characters after they're told the king's story.
sam brown connects and captures sadness in simple, colorful drawings.
I love Sam Brown!
