Mark Kalesniko

The animator Mark Kalesniko uses classic funny-animal iconography combined with an elegant, Asian-influenced art style to tell his stories of psychological torment and day-to-day trials and tribulations, most often focusing on his dog-headed alter ego Alex.

"Kalesniko is an expert at sophisticated, visually efficient narrative renderings of complex emotions. His drawings are spare and cinematic, and each panel underscores the characters' psychological isolation or another revealing detail." – Publishers Weekly
