...largely the artist's ability to convey the energy (and almost the noise and smell) of his subjects that makes him unique. His prints are rarely decorative for the sake of decoration alone. They may be funny, frightening, or magical but they are never static. His subjects may ignore the physical laws of gravity and classical theories of perspective but they are very much alive...
...perhaps not entirely fair to compare two such different mediums from two such dissimilar cultures.
