Noah Frase makes pictures that operate in a world somewhere between D&D, Herge, and Andrew Wyeth. There's something more to what he makes than the pleasing undulation of shapes and lines- his landscapes capture the eeriness of walking through a quiet New England woods-- the creepy woods of childhood/adolescence, filled with the lurking and the unknown, not the benevolent camping/hiking forests of adulthood.
Recently he started a
flickr where he posts sketches and odds and ends. His drawings have taken a turn for autobiography and simplicity, leaning more towards his own brand of observation. I'm always psyched to check in on what he's been up to. I really could go on. He's secretly an excellent painter. He can draw anything. Design hides in the webs of spaghetti. He's the real deal!
