This week, take a peek at the art of Matthew Allison, whose work is so deeply associated with his comic Cankor that for a very long time I thought that was his name.
I don't know much about Allison. This Comics Journal piece goes into some detail, in it's own way. I do love the phrase "What Allison seems to share with so many of that first generation of alternative cartoonists is a fixation on the mortification of the flesh."
Anyway, I like the way he draws meticulous, worrisome shadows and lines on these weird loping forms. I do not currently own any of his comics but I am going to remedy that and try to get me mitts on some Cankor issues or a collection. I'll take anything.
