Gahan Wilson , Macabre Sacrifice in the Office - New Yorker Cartoon Dark Humo, 1997

Gahan Wilson's artistic output of original ideas, masterfully executed, seems endless. He has a conceptual style that, like Charles Addams, delves into the macabre. Yet, one immediately identifies a Gahan concept as being uniquely his. This is supported by his marvelous executions that are designed and rendered with the highest level of draftsmanship and compositional design.
