out of stock"Jonathan Petersen's work has long been a favorite of artists like Marc Bell, Keith Jones and Jeff Ladouceur. A sculptor, image maker and cartoonist, Petersen's comics are propelled by a strong narrative engine: characters move abruptly from scene to scene and new personalities are introduced as old ones are unceremoniously tossed aside. Petersen draws his cast and his scenery with great feeling and stark compositions that at first glance feel like a comforting space for the eye to enter into---but closer inspection reveals a complicated world that feels both alien and drably familiar".
"Space Basket is Petersen's first book published in the USA, and for most readers, their first chance to see Petersen's work. While Petersen has self published countless zines, most had very small print runs and were usually given out to artists and friends in Canada. Until now, tracking down work by Petersen was no small task".
