Some of Jane Hammond's works, such as the piece below(Irregular Plural, 1995, oil and mixed media on canvas),and particularly her works which use mixed media, are in my opinion, slightly reminiscent of the illustrations of Dr. Seuss. Her mark-making style and the placement of of her subjects, I think, are what have led me to this parallel. And although Dr. Seuss was a children's author, I don't mean this association in a negative way. I think that maybe her work is intended to look slightly juvenile. Her work also reminds me a little of the illustrations for Schoolhouse Rock.
