I spent the better part of high school getting high in an empty greenhouse and then subsequently hunched over my desk drawing lots of stick figure comics during classes. Ninja battles, theories about the future, illustrations for stories I was reading, you name it and I probably illustrated it somewhere between 2nd and 5th period. My friend and I would even have duels trying to one-up each other in a giant, ongoing collaborative battle. Lone swordsman gets defeated by ninjas, ninjas by cast of Braveheart, cast of Braveheart by God, God by Nietzsche, and on and on. Looking over the work of Dresden Codak, I should’ve stuck with it. There is clearly a place for the weird, funny, incredible images the mind comes up with when left to its own devices, and Dresden Codak is the king of that place. He just really gets me.
