The Pulpy Art Of Rockin' Jellybean (NSFW)

Babes, monsters, cars and mexican wrestler masks - The signature ingredients of Japanese illustrator Rockin' Jellybean, who's art beckons from a more colorful decade which was rife with pulpy exploitation. RJB was hugely influenced by American pop culture while growing up, and it came to be part of his artistic DNA, mixed with a little zen art, like Ukiyo-e.



I'd like to call his style more 'poster art' oriented, replicating styles present in promotional materials for concerts and movies in the late 60's and 70's, with splashes of brash, in your face color and material in tune with the shock-factor tone that dominated cinema and music in that era. His artwork has been well received back home, being exhibited in BAPE (Bathing Ape) galleries as well as being sold at a Rockin' Jellybean store called Erostika in Harajuku. Always clad in a luchador mask, Jellybean continues to bring his wild visions to fruition on a daily basis.
