murmur

A drawing I did of Lorenzo Mattotti's title character from his Murmur comic. It was the first Mattotti comic I had read (Fires had been highly recommended to me, but at the time I just couldn't find it anywhere--these were the days before Amazon.com, you see), and the combination of it and David Mazzucchelli's Rubber Blanket magazines really first opened my eyes to the idea of a kind of surrealist comics storytelling.

This drawing is from my first college sketchbook, done in mid-1994 or so--
