"Introducing the new Portable Halo, a device that will revolutionize lies." The art of Swedish illustrator Mattias Adolfsson, strongly recommended for fans of Gahan Wilson. Also check out his Flickr set of fictional cityscapes, sketchbook samples, and the rest of his sprawling real/imaginary world.

Lovely! Also, Gahan Wilson is a minor God.

Seriously good. This, especially, is brilliant. Some of his drawings remind me of Quentin Blake.

yes! Quentin Blake is just the comparison I was thinking of (perhaps with a little Heath Robinson thrown in at the edges). I like his dinosaur, "Get Back"

Sigh....wrong Halo.
