I've become acquainted with an American artist - Andrew Perry Davis. His work really clicks with me and his paintings are stunning. I'm sure he's going to be big one day. Andrew's work hits that dark / puerile spot that I tend to hang around in a lot. Click on the title of this blog to go to Andrew's blog.
I think that early American animation has a lot to answer for (not that Disney crap, but the Felix The Cats and the Max Fleischers and Tex Averys of this world)-I certainly have a deep affection for it- especially those old cartoons set in shops where the objects inside all come alive at night and move in their bouncy manner - all scary and funny at the same time. A while back, Turner edited all the cigarette smoking shots out from old Tom & Jerry cartoons. Fucking puritanical assholes. High School Musical is 20 times more offensive in my opinion but I won't spoil my evening by going on about it.
Please check out Andrew's work. It's the product of a dark genius.
