His work is so pure and I could look at it for days, never stopping.<br /><br />I gather that, sadly, Mervyn Peake and the Gormenghast books are less well-known here in the states than they are in Europe. However they do seem to stay in print and I suggest them to as many readers as will listen, so I hope that is doing at least a bit to make his words more popular.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-47817511758891529662010-08-14T09:08:07.919-04:002010-08-14T09:08:07.919-04:00Thank you Titus.

I feel quite lucky to have captured lightning in a bottle this time, but I am in awe of those graphic designers that can do this so regularly.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-58865627536884244672010-08-13T14:13:44.978-04:002010-08-13T14:13:44.978-04:00there is something klee-ish to this that i love. ....there is something klee-ish to this that i love. . .

This one was a real bear for me. I ...Thanks Hannah! This one was a real bear for me. I agonized over how to show this and went through about a thousand ideas in my head. Somehow I ended up thinking about book design - you know, the stuff that's actually on the boards of old books and not the dust jacket illustrations. There is often some incredibly beautiful, clean, simple design work down there, especially on books from the 1950s, for anyone willing to look. That inspired this, and in the end, a simple piece which only took me about 20 minutes to complete (including the drying of the blue paint) turned out brilliantly.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-4965584176314773882010-08-11T13:32:11.574-04:002010-08-11T13:32:11.574-04:00Tattoo and awesomeness alert!!
