Much thanks to the people at Juxtapoz who wrote a great review of my latest full-color book, Lessons and Skeletons, in the current issue! In case you missed it, here’s what they wrote:

There are lessons to be learned from Jesse Reno’s skeletons as evidenced by the things going on among these 40 pages: A LOT. For Reno, purpose is revealed through process, choosing to pursue “deliberate but unknown lines rather than try to execute a well developed concept,” a quest that discloses what has come before him and to where he is headed. His colorful works utilize various tools to create well juxtaposed shamanic characters positioned before polymorphic backgrounds, their refined scribble aesthetic drawing you in to further examine skilled composition and linework. Lessons and Skeletons features a collection od over 35 new works from this fast-rising Portland-based artist, in full color and without any words to get in the way. Major lesson learned? Let the art speak for itself.
