Industry Reviews

"Keren Katz's comics transcend the medium, the text is poetry, the drawings are dance, the stories are not like anyone else, she is a true original." - Richard McGuire, author of Here

"Katz's figures sometimes show Modigliani-esque exaggerations of standard body proportions, and she makes exceptional use of patterns and color to create two-dimensional textures. People, animals, and buildings are warped, twisted, or "transmuted" in order to strike at deeper emotional truths, and they're always fascinating to just gaze at. The Backstage of a Dishwashing Webshow may require multiple readings if one is to fully grasp the the beauty and mysterious power of Katz's work, but it's time well invested." - Foreword

"The dreamlike narrative is illustrated with colorful, flowing full-page drawings of elegant and elongated human figures in ballooning clothes, always in motion and mixed with birds, architecture, and abstract shapes and patterns, all creating the sense of an unstable, crazy quiltlike reality. With minimal text, Katz's art loosely recalls highly stylized Art Noveau illustrators like Aubrey Beardsley or Harry Clarke crossed with a jumbled surrealist sensibility." - Publishers Weekly
