Mikeall Bio

I have always liked 'llIustration' and tend to produce it either as Cover Art or Sequential imagery. The former is probably the more challenging because of the balance that needs to be struck between form and content, decoration and narrative. Cover Art, like the short story, gets a limited shot at indicating what lies beneath the cover. My current preoccupation has been described, and I think aptly, as 'nostalgic sci fi and pulp'. And someone also suggested that it might be a little too late to revive the 'adventure genre'.

Stylistically, I'm keen on the commercial illustration of the mid 20th Century that was made to promote 'mass' publication (especially children's annuals, pulp magazines and comics). There is so much creativity and artistic competence to found on the covers and within the pages of even the most mundane examples.
It is over the last 7 years that I have started to use, and like, digital media. My working methods are still a little too intuitive and involve the usual squinting and standing back that one associates with traditional media, but I am enjoying making imagery more than ever and would now like to explore the possibilities of illustrating written stories (preferably by working with an author).
Interests: Commercial illustration and sequential imagery of the mid 20th Century that was made to promote 'mass' publications (especially children's annuals, pulp magazines and comics).

I am here for: Artistic interests. www.mikefyles.co.uk

Description


Faux cover to celebrate the New Adventures of an old Pulp Hero, Armless O'Neil. The artistic license extends to his hooked hand, which here is on his right rather than left side. That's pulp cover art for you, always unable to match the inside content precisely! However, these are good stories, well worth a read.

Awesome, as usual with your work!

Very atmospheric. I thought the foreground figures were a bit too dark, although that could be my screen.

Mikeall ()  posted at 12:28PM Mon, 23 July 2012

Thanks Ancel and Mark. It'd dark on my laptop, but just right on the PC. Always a problem getting that right.

Great pic. Colors good for a menacing scene. But gee, I want to see more of that aviatrix.

Yes, a source of frequent disappointment when the artist on the cover differs greatly from the one inside. That's the beauty of faux - just hundreds of your beautiful covers, and imagination to fill the content - perfect. Gary

"The handshake you'll never forget!". Great genre artwork.
