what's up with you guys publishing that dude who's straight up ripping off Jonny Negron in Island?

I co-edited an anthology (Meathaus SOS) many moons ago that had Negron in it back when he was going by Jonny B and his art looked a lot more Herpich/Corey Lewis. It’s interesting to see how he drew before he did any of his thick Crumb women. His old Deviantart is up here and has some cool stuff in it

I feel like I’ve seen the evolution of his style and I don’t see a lot in common with Dilraj Mann (who is who I assume you mean) other than that they both draw thick women. (Negron on the left Mann on the right) 

I feel like they have dramaticly different storytelling styles and it seems like different motivations behind the kind of stories they’re telling. 

 I could go into it a lot more about what I get from reading each artists work– and where I think their influences might be– but in the end I just wanna impress that when me and Emma put someone in Island it’s because we have faith in them as individual creators with unique work. and yeah, I just get different things from reading Mann than Negron.
