GNAWER OF THE MOON

About Me

"Sean "Goblin" Aaberg is an uppity punk whose illustrations of mythological cider-swilling crusty trolls have graced the pages of zines since the early 90’s. Sean is a smart & versatile artist who gracefully handles multiple styles & projects, with an emphasis on subversive design & bold color. When he isn’t passed out near the train tracks with a 12-sided die in his hands, Sean teaches little kids how to draw." ~Dennis Dread. "They call me Troll; Gnawer of the Moon, Giant of the Gale-blasts, Curse of the rain-hall, Companion of the earth mother, Nightroaming hag, Swallower of the loaf of heaven. What is a Troll but that?" While you're at it, check out the ZineWiki entry about me for more info on my past projects."Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game." ~GoetheCheck this out!
