Exclusive: Aron Wiesenfeld’s Art Print from Playtime: The Post-It Note Drawings revealed

The artwork of Aron Wiesenfeld has been featured in 15 solo exhibitions featuring his striking, large scale paintings renowned for their dreamlike quality, often featuring evocative and solitary figures, whose presence suggests a general air of melancholy, isolation, and of leaving innocence behind. Before Wiesenfeld was an accomplished and acclaimed fine artist, he was a comic book artist whose brilliant art for Marvel’s Deathblow/Wolverine earned him an Eisner Award nomination and his eye-catching comic book covers helped set the tone for the seminal series Y: The Last Man. Now the artist is once again experimenting with a new storytelling format with Playtime: The Post-It Note Drawings, a complete collection of Weisenfeld’s ink drawings on Post-it notes, which have never before been published coming soon to Kickstarter.

Wiesenfeld traditionally works in oil paint and charcoal drawing. His technique draws upon the traditions of master painters from history, though his subject matter is decidedly modern. Sometimes described as “liminal”, his young subjects are often placed in the ignored in-between places on the outskirts of cities. These settings are echoed by an unconscious “in-betweenness” in the young protagonists, who are adrift, indecisive, in peril, or in search of something.

The book will spotlight roughly 100 pages of drawings which will be interspersed with short writings or poems. The 120-page deluxe hardcover is being published via Kickstarter.
