STUDIO ARRABBIATA
|
My home base is Studio Arrabbiata in Ocean Grove, NJ. It's named for an Italian word meaning "rabid" or "fighting mad". In cooking it refers to a spicy tomato sauce that gets its bold taste from just a few ingredients and simple preparation. The arrabbiata movement believes in the power of woodblock prints to achieve maximum impact with nothing more than a piece of wood and a sharp knife. This is art that believes what is on the paper is far more important than any abstract theory. Response to this art may be positive or negative, but it will not be ignored. Contact the artist at pbonelli[at]paulbonelli.com with questions, comments, greetings, etc.

If you like your prints a little more evil than what I typically produce, you need to check out the website for
Evil Prints featuring the world renowned, mind blowing, and extremely disturbing work of woodcut artist Tom Huck. You have been warned.

There is one true legend in the world of independent comix and his name is David Lasky. This is the man who had a homemade photocopied minicomic get reviewed (favorably) by the Washington Post Book Review, who invented the genre of recipe comics, who is the hero of James Joyce fans the world over, and who is equally comfortable writing about twenty-somethings in Seattle and superheroes in Virginia. Are you intrigued enough to visit Dave's site or Dave's blog? I think you are.
