Reviews
Jason is a Norwegian talent who has steadily risen in stature over the years. Here's his most explicitly autobiographical work to date.
This intimate travelogue of life's little uncertainties, absurdities, and victories is a revealing addition to the Jason oeuvre.
Jason's distinctive melding of minimalist presentation and restless imagination is on full display, and results in a strangely intimate portrait of the artist as he struggles with blisters, bed bugs, bad food, and social anxiety while searching for a meaningful and authentic experience.
A journey worth taking, as this master storyteller makes you feel every heartbeat.
You're in the company of a seasoned story teller and he knows what he is doing.
On the Camino offers an abundance of satisfying pleasures that add up to something genuinely meaningful. It's gratifying to see such a talented cartoonist stretch his artistic muscles, especially when the results are so rewarding.
