The art of Theo Ellsworth. "He has a miniature city inside of his head that is overrun with funny monsters, yet he still manages to come across as a semi-normal guy. "

I think I've seen his booth at the downtown market in Portland.

We miss him here in Missoula. I loved collecting his comic Capacity. Another one lost to the siren song of Stumptown.

He should be illustrating children's books. We're talking major Caldecott contender here.

The website was a bit annoying. A couple Width and Height tags would have done wonders. Also have it when a link forces a new window. And his full size images are nearly thumbnails.

Cool art, crappy site.

Hmmm....does he ever post painted wooden pieces in random places around the city? If so, I think I have a piece of his art right here.
