The topic of video games and popular culture wasn't the only thing that interested me about this artist. Some of my favorite artists fall into the realm of political art, satirical art, and in short, art that conveys unmistakably clearly the artist's message to the reader. After all, I value art most as a form of communication. Mitchell's choice to render the cute cartoon dinosaur in a more realistic light not only showcases his technical skill, but shows you exactly what he wanted to, as explained in the description, tennis shoes and all.
The artist's second piece showcases an entirely different set of skills, and a different mindset as well. Within that, I feel he shows you his deeper, expressive side with the woman's face, and then shows of his more playful expressive side with the stylized creatures surrounding her; A touch I very much appreciated. It was this image that solidified my choice of this artist. In the art world, perhaps we follow a similar road...
