Mike Mitchell Paints Pop Culture In Living Color



[VIA IHLET.COM]Artist Mike Mitchell does a great job at painting pop culture and putting his own artistic spin on it. From child cartoon characters, to superheroes and movie stars, and even political figures, Mitchell's work often takes recognizable faces and symbols and paints them in ways we have yet to see them. His excellent use of colors and contrast, and backgrounds that remain in the background, allow you to lock in on the subject he is trying to portray. You're left waiting for the characters to speak or to move; that's how vivid they appear. Mike Mitchell's art is Saturday morning cartoons, a day at the movies, and the late night talk show circuit neatly rolled into a bucket of paint and presented on canvas. The entertainment you get from those experiences is the same you receive when you view Mike Mitchell's work.
