Mel Kadel

After a much publicized absence (due in part to my efforts to finish my dissertation proposal, in part to my efforts to finish my grading, and in very large part to my engagement) I am back with input galore. If you're tempted to complain, don't - think of it as a chance to make sure I wasn't posting $#!%. Jonx.

First post after my absence, though, is a doozy. Its the result of one of those long-term random websurfing sessions, you know, the kind that last two hours and result in your finding one particularly decent site? Well, the one I found is this, the homepage of an illustrator by the name of Mel Kadel. The question remains, how do we describe the work of Mr. Kadel. Well, let's just say he's remiscent of Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, and the animation that accompanies the credits of Liminy Snikett's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Absolutely delightful.
