Fred Noland's photostream |
Graphic Designer and Illustrator residing in Oakland, CA. has been drawing since he could hold a pencil between his webbed fingers. He draws from a deep well of inspiration ranging from the Expressionists to Underground Comics.
His illustrations have appeared in the LA Weekly, Bike, Nickelodeon, Canoe and Kayak, the Illinois Times, XboX Magazine, TokyoPop, the Santa Fe Reporter and more. His art has been featured in the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum, and the Oakland Museum at the OAK
installation. He has also taken part in group shows at the San Francisco's Amaru Gallery and RPS in Oakland.
As a cartoonist, he has produced a series of increasingly innovative and eccentric minis. His current project, Black Sheep, features his most ambitious work yet. The six-part "Neighborhood of the Beast" explores the darker side of suburbia. Other highlights include the Southern Gothic Midnight Creep and his self proclaimed "jam comic from hell" Mantequilla del Pato (with the incomparable
Trevor Alixopulos).
Hobbies include music collecting, historical reading and, of course, cycling.

"Fred is a gifted artist and a great friend. Though he never seems to update his photostream (cuz he's too busy with myspace and facebook, I'd guess), I still see his icon there at the end of my friends list, and I pine for the day that he will join me in this world, where I indulge in my secret addiction, and enjoy my friends who know me out outside of my everyday life.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another post here, friend."22nd March, 2008
