The Art Of Anthony Bourne

Artist statement:

My art and stories come from several sources in my life. The series Gen-eg where the main characters are genetically created soldiers that face racism from their own government. It’s indirectly based on events my father, and three uncles faced while they served in the US military in the 1950’s. Other stories I’ve created are inspired by friends I made back in the NYHC/punk scene in NYC. The Fed book started in response to the conspiracy folks who believe 9/11 attacks were fake or government sponsored. That was a completely fun book to make and continues the “Men in black” vibe. I love traditional comics, and superheroes, but that’s not what I love to draw. My characters are flawed, and grey who fight desperate battles with themselves and events they cannot control.
