J. Bradley Johnson
A couple of pages from J. Bradley Johnson from a very special visit to his studio. He made many mini-comics in the 1980s and 1990s. See my mini-comics section for more examples. You may know his work from anthologies such as Snake Eyes (Fantagraphics), Last Gasp, Blab (Kitchen Sink), Dirty Plotte (Drawn & Quarterly), Hyena (Tundra) and Kramers Ergot (Buenaventura). His artwork also includes paintings and silkscreen prints for his equally impressive band Virginia Dare. One of his more well known characters is Snoot Grolo. Brad Johnson’s comics have memorable characters, hilarious situations, wild design with folk/modernist and underground influences, impeccable lettering combinations and uncommon inking styles are just part of the indescribable combination that makes this work and his craft stand out above and beyond.
