“You are faced with the reality of quitting or doubling down. Guess which one this is.” - Zak Sally, Recidivist A man searches for his lost teeth to complete his masterwork. Another embraces ghosts in an act of vengeance. Children escape from a ruined house to find a revelation. A wanderer leaves everything behind and discovers the infinite. Part resignation letter, part manifesto, the stories in Zak Sally’s Recidivist IV comprise a medium-defying visual experience of the freedom in obscurity.
As usual, the technique and dense detail in Sally's drawings are impressive. The use of reflective ink also creates interesting effects (and no doubt drove up the cost of production). I can't say I'm such a fan of the writing though.
