I was going through a bunch of old magazines on my desk and came across a right up about Ian Davis in Elle Decor. His work has a curious illustrative quality that is almost cartoon-like. It’s clear his work is no joke, however. Driven by political innuendo, and topics like the destructiveness of our race, his topics are deep and often troubled. I couldn’t help but think he would be the perfect artist to illustrate the book “Momo” by Michael Ende, the story of a little orphan girl with the immense capacity to listen and understand the plight of people that visit her, who is threatened by the men in gray from the Time Savings Bank. I hope Ian has had a read. If not, I want to send him a copy. Anyone have his address?

    I like the architectonic qualities of his space. If one misses the political satire, one still can enjoy the way he dilineates space in a flat, yet oddly inviting way.

    You rock the house!
