Sticky Monsters | 
pick"Mortensen draws monsters on Post-It Notes," feels like too short of a review. What else? Well, he clearly owes a debt to Edward Gorey, but he's darker, more macabre and openly 'horrific'. There's little of Gorey's whimsy, and no narrative at all. I get a greater sense of existential dread from Mortensen, of seeing the inside of a terrifying non-consensual reality, of ineffable anxieties being given visual form. Simple, fascinating and unsettling.
