Schroot #[nn]

Ben Vranken's Schroot presents a wonderfully unsettling cover: two silhouetted children dash across a landscape carpeted with tangled, sprawling creatures, while a gnarled, spindly tree looms overhead against a pale blue sky. The all-caps title lettering has a ragged, organic quality that perfectly matches the chaotic heap of bizarre little beings piled below. Published by XTRA in 2010, this is Vranken's singular vision from start to finish — art, inks, and lettering all his own.
