Artists I Like: David Genchi

A new discovery for me, artist David Genchi hit me right between the nose with his underground comix vibes. Now... this is basically a horror artist. Body horror, specifically, from what I can tell. Not my usual cup of tea. But I can dig it.

I discovered his work when I saw a link to a book called Analwizards. Yes, you read that correctly. It featured a wizard guy in a yellow jumpsuit and pointy hat. I thought... that art reminds of Wizard of Barge (another artist I need to feature on here). But also reminds me of a lot of Japanese horror art I've seen. Probably thinking of Junji Ito since he's kind of the poster child for that genre.

David Genchi's work is published by Hollow Press, who seem to have a lot of interesting stuff.

So today I'm just posting some of his work and pointing you to him because it is very evocative. But be warned... NOT FOR KIDS! I selected some pieces I could put here that aren't too extreme. If you seek more, you will be find more extreme body horror. If that ain't your vibe, skip it.

Overton

Random comic I was compelled to draw this morning. I like firing off a simple 4 panel strip if an idea is burning a hole in my psyche.

As to the content... hope it's obvious. That Overton Window is a fucking bitch. You pride yourself on riding the  middle ground but that middle ground just keeps slip slip slidin' into destruction, buddy. Might want to correct your course because whoever is painting that line is on some bad drugs.
