Wanting to create a some what distopian/ultra violent/ gritty mirror of the world. I've decided to do that I have to look at character and my interpretation of social and cultural stand offs. I have found new inspiration in the following:
Main Influences
Cleon Peterson:
Peterson's work is for me a stark look at the ugly truth. It's a ruthless depiction of the animalistic tendencies that society tries to hide; the people in power and the people who are meant to help you and just as ready to turn on you. It's simple and raw and primal. The two colour contrast really a punch to the image which Is a device I plan to use and it will also flow to screen printing easily.
Jack Teagle:
During a Big Heads session with Jack Teagle he described his work as containing a lot of '90's cartoon violence' which in short is fighting and characters getting hurt but it almost looks fun and in the end it looks like to no really gets hurt. Almost like actual fighting but without any of the gore. One of the main reasons Jack has helped me develop my idea is his unique design of characters which is something I'm trying to explore more
