Art to Designer

My favorite artist, Alex Pardee, has a great line of work. He has gone from a grungy artist, showing up occasionally on a t-shirt, and has moved into movie poster art. These works are a great way to show how he adapts his art into something that is parallel with the movie. Alex Pardee started out like the rest of us will: giving portfolios to businesses big and small. After being rejection he used the internet to spread his work anonymously. This allowed him to be picked up by a company to design for them. Starting out as a simple artist and when he put his work to the internet, his art exploded into something new. He has worked on album covers, magazines, and many others.

  1. I remember first hearing about Alex Pardee from Mitchell Davis's YouTube videos and it influenced my drawings heavily when I was in high school! They are so creative and he's able to use so many different mediums and different styles, but always keeping that dark, creepy influence in all of them. They're outstanding!

  2. Really interesting artwork. Combineds alot of elements that usaly dont go toegther like the drip paint, flouresent color and rather creepy figures, it creates an interesting contrast.

  3. As I have stated several times before, I am a huge fan of street art and I love this stylization. I think its great when grunge stye artists can transform from the strict and dirty street style to t shirts a big world accounts. The more the style spreads, the better!
