"The thing I like about Allison's work is that when I first look at it, I think "Isn't that cute?", then I almost immediately want to vomit. That's good art to me."

"With sensitiy of line & imagination, Allison has created a fanciful and unique world completely her own. Her moleskine drawings and matchbox minatures are truly inspiring."

"allison sommers...the artist we all wish we could be, but then again, we just feel lucky to know you, if I could just be around her for a day I would jump at the opportunity to see such talent in real life. She's also a total sweetheart!!! ;)

"She's that plastic egg from easter you find in an old box, all pinkNpurpleblue. You split it in two, to find a cherry flavored condom, a note that reads "Swim deep", and one of those wall walker octopus things that you throw at a wall and it slowly flips and creeps down towards you. I love her stuff and know one day a bookshelf somewhere will house her disturbing children's book, which no doubt will be read by great aunts to their "too young to be having this read tothem " great nieces or nephews!"

Tommykane says:
"Yes we all know Allison is a brilliant and original painter but her sketchbooks make me so friggin envious. They seem to flow with little or no effort. It's as if she does 20 pages a day. How can so much creativity flow out of one person. I wonder if secretly she has a staff of ten artists working for her. Either way she is one of our greats."

Blake C. Himsl Hunter says:
"Not only has Allison mastered the use of tags, she uses her artistic talents to create some of the most wonderful images on the web. I look forward to seeing every new uploaded image, because it is always a surprise.
PS-her comments are funny too!"31st August, 2006

frunt says:
"Allison is so talented it sometimes makes me want to gnaw my own fingers off in a jealous rage. But then I remember that if I did, I wouldn't be able to navigate to her latest pictures.
Things to look out for: claws, boobs, tentacles, sloths. And always remember to read her tags."10th August, 2006
