headhunter








































I've been super busy this week, so I didn't have time to do another illustration following my theme of some poor, innocent fool in harm's way. Hopefully I'll be able to squeak out a few more soon. So instead, here's one I did a while back for a greeting card. The man-boobs were added later.

Michael, to live in your world or even your amazing head for one day would just be overwhelmingly awesome! I really like the colors. These are the colors I want in my living room and this picture would go great over my sofa. THIS ROCKS. Deliciously retro and stylish. This is awesome man!!! If you are dad, Happy Father's enjoy your weekend. Oh and to answer your question, No I don't get much sleep and I snicker while I'm sleeping hee he hee! Have a good one.

I always sound like a broken record when I make comments on your site Michael, but here I go again...

The textures add depth and life to your work, and you always choose a perfect colour palette. Your characters and concepts always make me laugh (and jealous).

In this piece, I think it's hilarious that the headhunter has put a party hat on the skull.

Great stuff!

Kyle Poling said...

Have to agree with all the comments here, great style and designs for all your characters. The textures really add a lot to your pieces - but the color pallette is what makes them. Just slightly muted and not bright and in your face. Love it and looking forward to seeing more!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the comment on my blog! Nice work here too...and I'm loving the man-boobs! (That sounds a bit wrong...nonetheless true though)

Jarrett said...

Thanks again, Michael! But I think you're the one with the perfect shapes :D Your style has such a broad appeal. I'd think you could work in many, many industries if you wanted (and you probably do.. what am I saying)
