IAN SUNDAHL




Ian Sundahl's sketchbooks remind me of Gary Panter's sketchbooks in the sense that they show a wide range of drawing styles, seeming almost to achieve "stylelessness".



They are unified by the singularity of the person who made them.



Ian Sundahl makes a comic called "Social Discipline".



Ian Sundahl's web presence consists of an angelfire site



Ian Sundahl is a Portland-based artist/cartoonist and has caught the eye of Dylan Williams, Tim Goodyear, and Zack Soto, among others.

ian is a great allaround artist in my experience
he make some great movies on top of it all
a blade in the water of a powerful lifetime
i'd say his werk sits well with me in a way i might call simular to jeff le vine or ben katchor
but not in any direct compairason
ians werk has some element that seems to bring it's own weather which panter has too at some times but it has more of a focusing quality than panter
ian will have some new material available at the stumptown show later this month where he has a table

This reads like a gossip column. He "caught the eye of"...

co-mix is an optimistic gossip column, in truth. blaise is just being up-front and basic, aligning himself cleanly with the essential tenets of the enterprise, the signed charter agreement, the fouled cocktail napkin.

ian sundahl, we sat next to each other in journalism class. i was the ten foot redhead w/ cowlick, you had your arms full of recently purchased stamps. i saw my head on all of the stamps, in your lap. all you saw was ben franklin and a crisis in postage. let's have sex.

I like that this post makes me sound like some sort of "mover-and-shaker". Ian's stuff is great.

Jason! Ian is the really quiet guy at drawing night!

Yeah - I figured that out and felt like a douche. I knew he was "Ian," but I didn't connect him to this amazing artist "Ian Sundahl."
