Chauncey
Christopher Conn Askew
Christopher Conn Askew's intensely graphic artwork is like military propaganda from 1984.

I know, I know. Big surprise, right? After all, I've only spent the last six years laying down a nearly daily dose of Insolence, Respectful and not-so-Respectful, on the anti-vaccine movement, alternative medicine practitioners, quacks, and pseudoscientists of many different…
"Chauncey" reminds me of the book Animalia by Graeme Base, which has similar depictions of anthropomorphic animals amidst elaborate scenery-- in which you're meant to discover as many items beginning with a certain alphabet letter as possible.
So glad you like his work! It's pretty fantastic and captivating.
