Here’s another set of character studies that I did, inspired by AMC’s The Walking Dead
Cordel literature (“Literatura de Cordel” in portuguese, means “string literature”) are popular and inexpensively printed booklets common in the Northeast of Brazil. They usually contain folk novels, poems and songs, and they are sold at fairs and in the street. Cordel uses in its cover a very specific and traditional kind of xylography, and since I’ve done this kind of aesthetics for another “A Song of Ice and Fire” illustration, I decided to use the same style for a reinterpretation of the book covers.
Esse Mike Mitchell não existe!!
LA based artist Mike Mitchell is a freelance illustrator with a focus on pop culture. He is most known for creating the “I’m with Coco” poster embracing Conan O’Brien. Mike recently finished a big set of posters for his upcoming gallery show opening in two weeks. For the show, Mike tried to choose the more under appreciated film character in pop culture art. His process consisted of illustrating their personalities the way they existed in his mind. By keeping the celebrities in character, Mike wants the viewer to connect with them on a deeper level.

Vincent Mahe, an illustrator from Paris, recently created this eye opening series of personal illustrations depicting the seven deathly sins in a modern contemporary way. His use of limited colors and negative space are simple but very effective. All in all this set of illustrations would look nicely side by side inside a frame.

Mike Mitchell - Mondo Gallery Solo Artshow
Last friday at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas was the premiere of what may be, to my opinion, one of the best pop culture related artshows I’v ever seen. I’m a big fan of Mike Mitchell’s work, and you may have seen a some of his work in those pages, but this time he went beyond everything I’ve ever seen of him. This gallery of portraits of heroes of pop culture movies is incredible. I hope to show you guys more pics of the premiere, but here comes the whole series below. Please enjoy and, if you’re not familiar with Mike Mitchell’s work, visit his blog !
Vendredi dernier à la galerie Mondo d’Austin, Texas a eu lieu le vernissage de ce qui est de mon point de vue l’une des plus belles expos jamais consacrée à la pop culture et au cinéma de genre. Je suis un grand fan du travail de Mike Mitchell, dont vous avez pu apercevoir le travail dans certaines de ses pages, mais je dois avouer que là, le monsieur s’est surpassé. Ses portraits de héros de la pop cultures sont absolument fantastiques, pleins de vie, et capturent pour moi l’essence de ces personnages à merveille. En attendant des photos du vernissage, je vous propose de jeter un oeil à toute la série ci-dessous, et si vous n’êts aps familiers avec le travail de Mike Mitchell, jetez-vous sur son blog !
Here goes an interview of Mike Mitchell by OMG Posters.
