this article seems to be annoyed by Carson's work. I guess some people just want everything standardized! The first picture I posted is from a 1994 Ray Gun magazine which Carson was the art director for. Carson decided that because the article he had to print in the magazine was so boring he would print the entire thing in dingbats, which is hilarious and creative at the same time.
