In February 2004, the San Francisco Chronicle began printing an
enigmatic feature called "All Over Coffee." Almost immediately,
letters of love and hate, confusion and praise poured in.
Accustomed to the familiar formats of comic strips and cartoons,
some readers struggled to understand a creation that seemed to live
both within and beyond those boundaries. All Over Coffee blends the
timing of comics with the depth of poetry. Artist and writer Paul
Madonna has fused art, literature, and comics by pairing timeless
cityscapes with philosophical musings and poignant stories in
masterfully rendered ink-wash drawings that surpass the art of Ben
Katchor in elegance and architectural detail. His work has been
compared to "a meeting of the tone of Edward Gorey, the uniqueness
of Chris Ware, and the artfulness of Raymond Pettibon." Quirky,
whimsical, and often profound, All Over Coffee's stunning imagery
and thoughtful writing combine to create a conceptual world, both
dreamlike and familiar. This selection will delight anyone who has
ever lived in or visited San Francisco-or dreamed of doing so-with
its original, off-the-beaten-path view of the city and its
inhabitants. Paul Madonna moved to San Francisco and began to
self-publish comics after graduating from Carnegie Mellon
University's fine arts program and an internship at MAD magazine.
In 2002 he launched his incredibly popular website,
www.paulmadonna.com, posting a new cartoon each week. In 2004 the
San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate.com picked up his strip "All
Over Coffee," which continues to appear weekly.
