marcel dzama is an incredible artist from winnipeg. his drawings are kinda freakish, but strangely childish and cute. his work seems to consist of plain backgrounds and spashes of vibrant colour or bold figures. i really like this kind of art.. its not quite 'graphic art' but it is extremely eyecatching. many are also whimsical in a dark kind of way.
this is him. how cool ^_^ :
many works include dark themes, ..lots of death, knives, guns, ghosts, blood... and animals associated with death or 'bad' things like bats but.. they are so beautiful! how can this be! but i really love how animals, imaginary subjects, people and objects comingle with eachother in his images.
he has so many wonderful peices.. too many to possibly fit on one blog. so i will put seven (my lucky number!) of some of my favourites i have come across.
good ol marcel has done extremely well for himself and is recognized on an international scale. he is known for his talents across a broad spectrum of media, he even does costume and cover designs for many great bands. he did the costume design for bob dylan's 'when the deal goes down'. what im particularily happy about is that while designing costumes, he also was co-directing the making of the video of the department of eagles 'no one does it like you'. which is probaly one of my favourite songs, (really catchy!) , and possibly favourite bands!the video is seriously freakin' cool too. just see for yourself!
