Strange Tails

Strange Tails began as an inkling of an idea in 2010 in Chicago, IL when visual artist and writer Kenneth Gerleve and writer and editor Todd Summar decided that they wanted to combine their talents into a project that would provide a creative outlet for both. The duo is inspired by the aesthetic of the Gothic and German expressionism (such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), vintage cartoons, illustrated novels, as well as modern art, absurdist films and humor (David Lynch) and horror movies of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
