Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

He enlarged the dots, outlines and dramatic scenes of comics so we could see how their effects were made.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Paint and print techniques imitate the appearance of commercial reproduction.

Marks and structure

Even contours and enlarged dots replace the appearance of spontaneous brushwork.

Palette and light

Limited strong colours make emotion look deliberately manufactured.
