Industry Reviews

Meschenmoser s soft pencil portraits of the squirrel s inner fears teeter right at the sweet spot between anguish and humor. The story s deepest pleasure comes from the contrast between its ever-more-ridiculous scenarios and the artist s solemn, classically proportioned drafting style.
