John F. Malta
John F. Malta lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. The material comes from his teenage years in Northeast Ohio — the punk scene, murky creeks, skateboarding — and it stays there.
His figures wear hoodies and yellow sneakers, with a pale crest of hair. One rides a blue, bat-winged dragon with its tongue out, knife in hand. Another jumps through pink and navy undergrowth. Flat colour, even line, deadpan comedy. More of it is at John F. Malta.
