Christopher Forgues, (also known professionally as C.F. and Kites), is an artist and musician based in Providence, Rhode Island, best known for his graphic novel serial Powr Mastrs.[1] He holds a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
His graphic novel series, Powr Mastrs, is published by Picturebox. His story "Mosfet Warlock and the Mechlin Men" was included in The Best American Comics 2009, edited by Charles Burns. His work has also been published in Kramers Ergot, and has been shown at galleries in New York and Los Angeles.[2][3] Forgues has a monthly comic strip, Monorail High, in Mothers News, a monthly newspaper published in Providence, RI.[4]
C.F. was a member of the Fort Thunder art collective in Boston in the 2000s, and collaborated with Ben Jones on a zine project called "Paper Radio".[5][6]
His comics and graphic novels make heavy use of surrealism and absurdity, while often paying homage to older comic genres such as pulp.[7][8] He has been praised by The Comics Reporter for his skills at "overlooked nuances of comics storytelling, in particular pacing".[9]
As a musician, Forgues has toured the United States several times, also appearing in Europe and Canada. Forgues employs homemade electronics, effects pedals, and altered acoustic instruments.
