Drawing from a childhood weaned on horror comics, detective novels, trashy films, and retro sci-fi, my brush and ink work hearkens to an older era. That juxtaposition of old sensibilities for crafting line and a footing in current color and design trends make my work unique. 1125 2008-06-30T18:15:35-04:00 116 5738 Chicago-ish, IL Frenden Frenden 47 22 12126 http://frenden.com http://cache0.emptees.com/avatars/14551/avatar01.jpg
