Great artist- trying clicking on the link "archive" for more of the same.

Very cool!

Nice - is a major understatement. I also went through his archives and am highly impressed. Thanks for pointing us in his dircetion.

This guy has values down to perfection. Do you know if these were originally in bw or just scanned and converted to bw? He is now my example of what drawing can be (and how far I have to go).

These drawing are *amazing*. I explored his links and discovered that he works only in pen and ink wash on w/c paper, no pencil first.

I love his idea of adding the conversations to the drawings, but no people or cars.

Alas, the San Francisco Chronicle is no longer running Paul Madonna's art on a daily basis. We still get him Sundays, though.

It has been such a pleasure seeing some real art in a daily newspaper over the past couple of years. The Chronicle didn't stint on the size, either -- if the drawing needed it he got the full width of a broadsheet page.

Of course, he was also drawing a beautiful city. Look through the archives for some of his diptychs and even triptychs. (There are clues in the bottom margin of the drawings.)

Great work. He publishes in the San Francisco Chronicle, which is where I've seen his work.

Check out the background at http://www.allovercoffee.com. Mouse over the drawings...

OMG...I'm in absolute AWE....what a cool website, I love his style!
