Theyre solid and very well done but without the Wolverton Influence I woulda passed these by. Isnt it funny how these hypercolor versions still cant hold a stick to Basil's work in B/W? lol But then again you cant trump a grotesquerie style that doesnt exist anymore. @ Dr.Hypercube, Nice callout man, thats really the only reason I like em.

He frequents a few of the local coffee shops and does doodles on their napkins and then lets the coffee shop sell them for the baristas' tip jar. Here's a sample of his stuff, although I know he has more on Facebook (which I"m not part of): http://www.pointedpoems.com/artist-dennis-preston/ We have a local artist, Dennis Preston, that does stuff like this.

The Billy Idol is my favorite. This kind of thing kills me, because Jason is able to obviously depict whatever he wants and he chose to do this. It's kind of a visual "neener neener." He managed to nearly out-Wolverton Wolverton himself. If you're into cute with your icky, check out Yoko D'Holbachie some time. She doesn't do mash-ups, but these candy colored monsters that ooze tapioca. These reminded me of her stuff. Okay, these are a riot! The Billy Idol is my favorite.
