Is This The Right Color To Prove I Don't Have A Shitty Life - Book
A collection of work from Austin, Texas-based Author and Artist Jon-Michael Frank.
Grim and hilarious explorations of the human condition. LOL at the ironic struggle of believing in yourself and wondering if you are making a difference while sitting in front of a computer for most of your life. Simply drawn with an elemental color palette, these sad and relatable drawings reflect on mundane and ordinary life with poetic defeat in a direct and biting dialogue.
“Frank’s humor may laugh at us and our simple desires and hardships, but it also welcomes us to laugh at ourselves, comforting us in a communal sense of unhappiness. Sometimes it is a self-deprecating laugh, a satirical laugh a bit like a LOL―written but never audible.” – The Brooklyn Rail
“Jon-Michael Frank has an uncanny knack for expressing the worst in the best possible way.” – The Oklahoma Gazette
Full Color. 120 pgs of one-panel comics. Work from 2016-2019.
