Also, the show is an homage to the "Alex Tooth" style of design, two things that are part of understanding Mike Allred's esthetic, and--for a lot of his fans--key to their appreciation of his work. <br /><br />The Ramones work in this same way, because as much as they were the 'godfathers of punk' they were also an homage to the rock sound of the late 50s, early 60s ala Phil Spector, but 'cranked up' a bit. From a concept side, the Ramones pared down 'comic book' style silhouettes--the idea that a reader should be able to identify the characters just on their shape alone--are also an indication of elegant Tooth design premise.JRC, the OWL Says Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074966273364378676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-11863760507436196062012-09-16T10:28:58.745-07:002012-09-16T10:28:58.745-07:00True, I would guess.True, I would guess.Aki Alaraatikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432612143247843259noreply@blogger.com
