I thought some of you folks might appreciate Dylan Sisson's corpulent, creepy-cute creatures. Sisson lives in SF and also works in animation. Those of you in SF might have caught some of his sketches at G1988's Paper Pushers group show a few months ago. "Over the years I’ve explored lots of subjects and I’ve noticed my favorite subjects are those that mix contrasting themes, like a character that’s on the verge of being cute or being frightening at the same time. . . I like creating that tension. For example, what’s the difference between a pet and a monster? A pet licks you. A monster eats you." – Dylan Sisson This is my Sisson original, entitled "Plunge." What I like best about it is that there's a sense of danger as this puffy three-eyed explorer drifts downward into the uncharted depths... but it's not quite clear if he is the menaced – or the menacer. (An echo of Nirvana's "Nevermind" album cover had been noted by some.) www.dylansisson.com/commandax.blogspot.com/2008/03/dylan-sissons-creepy-cuties.htmlHere are a few more of Mr. Sisson's creations you might enjoy. "Uncle Rhubarb" "Greener Pastures" "Blah Blah Blah" "Likewise" "Baker's Dozen" "Mr. Burble"

Excellent to see Dylan's work on here! I worked with him LONG ago at a software company and always thought he was wicked talented!
