Mark Kalesniko

Mail Order Bride

"Kalesniko is an expert at sophisticated, visually efficient narrative renderings of complex emotions. His drawings are spare and cinematic, and each panel underscores the character’s isolation or another revealing detail. This is a sensitive and intelligent look at the contradictory impulses behind cultural stereotypes."

While stuck in a traffic jam, Alex Kalienka daydreams about his live, his past and his fantasies.

Mail Order Bride
"Kalesniko doesn't mince words as he explores issues of race, morality, passion, and identity."
--The Arizona Republic
