“Mark Bodnar’s world is one we’d like to visit. The Ohio-born artist and illustrator paints scenes of sweeping forests, hazy beaches and deep gullies, peppered with cartoonish characters in narratives as varied as chopping off their hair to sailing through the sky on a grizzly bear. Bodnar captures the nostalgia of old-time animation with just enough wry humor and boggling scenarios to balance the cute with the bizarro. …where you can gawk and attempt to metaphysically enter a painting. Just watch out for grizzlies.”
