Felix LaFlamme

So, Felix La Flamme...His art is incredibly dark, full of hell beasts, living dead and other lovely characters. I think that was exactly what attracted my attention to him, as from childhood I looked in to the subject of paranormal and I think in his art I can see the direct reflection of how I would imagine them. I must point out, that even though the subject matter seems grim; it is executed in playful, comic book fashion. This is not surprising as one of his main inspirations was his brother’s comic book collection as well as Punk Rock, Horror Movies, Tiki bars and other. You can find out more about this artist on http://www.felixlaflamme.com/about.html
LaFlamme uses a mixture of media, mainly consisting of markers, pens and Photoshop CS3 for effect enhancement. You can actually see him in action on YouTube, where he has his own channel on which selections of videos which show his creative process are displayed.
There are several important qualities, which I would like to adopt from his art and firstly comes his fantastic imagination. Even though his works are all within a single frame, the subject matter varies greatly presenting the viewer with a good selection of imagery. LaFlamme does devote a lot of time to the main character he is working on, the backgrounds on the other hand in the majority are minimal. As I noticed, on his websites gallery page a large number of images resemble logos, usually image is placed in front of black background. I would recommend you having a butchers on his webpage, u might find a lot of interesting things.
