I love Crab Scrambly.
No, the aforementioned
is not the subject
of a poem by T.S.
Elliot (I should
have been a pair
of ragged claws...),
nor a seafood egg
dish.
Crab Scrambly is
a brilliant, somewhat
deranged painter,
cartoonist and conceptualist,
whose work can be
morbidly and blissfully
enjoyed in the books
The 13th of Never
and Everything Can
Be Beaten.
His style is all
his own, though
comparisons can
be made to dark
humourists from
Gorey to Burton.
Part of the special
excellence of the
artist is his skill
with different media,
making his color
illustrations and
his pen and ink
graphics equally
delightful while
still remaining
Scramblyesque.
His art has been
reproduced on t-shirts,
greeting cards and
skateboards as well
as in books.
