The amount of layers and detail in this piece might make it Whalen’s best yet. It’s really awesome. I especially love the fact that Randall is “invisible” on the side. Still, I’d love to see some other artists interpret these Disney characters. Whalen has doneseveral for Mondoalready and while they’re all very evocative, and his clean style blends perfectly with their image, I hope this series brings us new artists showing us Pixar characters.
What do you think of this image? What artists and Pixar movies would you like to see paired? Personally, I’m going to stray from the obvious (StoutIncrediblesorToy Story) and say Olly Moss doingWall-E. That would be great. He’s already shown what he can do withUpandRatatouillein his Paper Cuts show and each were some of the best in that series. It’s obvious he’s a fan.
Also, Eric Tan has done some phenomenal work on Disney stuff – includingWall-EandCars– for Acme Archives so he obviously loves Pixar too. It would be fantastic to see some new work of his screenprinted for Mondo.
Okay, enough rambling. Disney, Pixar and Mondo just gets me incredibly excited. I can’t be the only one.
