Jacob Bladders: illustrator, braggart, and victim of assault by thugs
sent by the mysterious Charlie. Part satire of commercial art, part
noirish detective story, part puzzle to be solved or left in pieces.
Roman Muradov's latest is an ink-smeared Blakean vision of 1940s New
York where Twitter exists as a network of pneumatic tubes, but artwork
is still delivered by hand.
Roman Muradov was born in Moscow, Russia. He now resides in San
Francisco, California. As an illustrator he has worked for Vogue,
Random House, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and Penguin. In
2013, Muradov received a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators.
His first book, (In a Sense) Lost and Found, was published last year
by Nobrow Press.
