Description

It's a rare treat to see Matthew Allison's take on Charles Burns' El Borbah character! Matt posted this on Instagram in 2020 and I was lucky enough to pick it up.

There's something about Matthew Allison's preciseness and technique in his inking, and often the darker content, that reminds me of Burns' work so I was excited to see Matt share his rendition of the character.

Catch Matt at OAX 2024!

Fabulous character/artist pairing!  Allison brings a precise shabbiness to Burns's slick but disturbing world.

Even the scars and belmishes look so neat and tidy.  Sweet ink job as usual from Allison.

Interesting and unique piece from Matt, and that's really saying something in regards to his regular work.
