Mateusz Kolek

Let’s ease back into this before I head off for another long weekend. We’ll start off with Mateusz Kołek, an illustrator with the kind of understanding of color and line weight that only comes from days of staring at a blank space, stoned out of your mind, Molly Hatchett playing in the background, and a pencil in your hand like a cobra ready to strike. I’m not saying that’s the only way to go about it, but it’s the best way. I learned it from Da Vinci in a bar in Alabama one night in ‘65. I think Kołek knew it instinctively, like bears know to hibernate in the Winter. Jesus, what the hell am I talking about?
