Six years in the making, Matthew Brown’s beloved character finally gets his own full-length adventure. PENGUIN DETECTIVE: The Case of No Case outlines how Poopsie the Penguin washes up on the shore of Moronto and, through a series of trials and travails, finally becomes a private detective.

Fitting between the chronologies of ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT and THE CLIFF, Matthew Brown pulls out all the stops to depict theme, character, plot, mood, noise, romance, repugnance, camaraderie, chaos, coffee and the search for meaningful employment—with artwork pushed to the next level.

Go penguin, go!

AUREL BAUH: EYE LENS is here!

 

A noir exploration of architecture, eros, tragedy, absurdity and beauty.

A fractured modernist memory narrative, eluding genocide and oppression by a hair's breadth.

Based on the pictures of brilliant photographer Aurel Bauh (born 1900 Bucharest, died 1964 Paris) who died unexpectedly and left his masterful, moody and avantgarde photos spread across Romania, France, Germany and Israel. He only published one book during his lifetime – “Bucharest”, a restrained and lyrical ode to the city of his birth less than two decades after WWII, released under the communist regime a few years before his death.

My new book features brush and ink drawings and text inspired by Aurel Bauh’s architectural shots, portraits, landscapes, folkloric reportage and nudes.

Available as both hard copy and eBook on Amazon!

Or, if you’d like a signed copy, please contact me and let me know!

New book coming soon - AUREL BAUH: EYE LENS

Starting next week, I’ll be posting from my new book – AUREL BAUH: EYE LENS, based on the pictures of brilliant photographer Aurel Bauh (born 1900 Bucharest, died 1964 Paris) who died unexpectedly and left his masterful, moody and avantgarde photos spread across Romania, France, Germany and Israel. He only published one book during his lifetime – “Bucharest”, a restrained and lyrical ode to the city of his birth less than two decades after WWII, released under the communist regime a few years before his death. My new book features brush and ink drawings and text inspired by Aurel Bauh’s architectural shots, portraits, landscapes, folkloric reportage and nudes. Only in the Instagram posts, I will also post the photos which inspired me.
