I had the opportunity to talk to Clearly Wrong, aka
Daniel Bressette recently after running into his work during an artists livestream. The Atlanta based artists work caught my eye with his usage of retro cartoony aesthetics mixed with a contemporary flair. In a sense it kind of reminded me of some of the thematic notes
McBess has going on, but with the addition of some really awesome, muted color palettes. Among some of his influences, Daniel mentioned Winsor McCay, Jack Kirby, Raymond Pettibon, Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki, Bill Watterson and Genndy Tartavosky. Looking at the piece above (Titled Space is the Place0, you can definitely see the Calvin & Hobbes-esque feel mixed with a little pinch of Astroboy. Eastern and Western aesthetics combined in the best way possible!
Daniel is currently working his way up into the spotlight, and I feel that his style will be loved by many when he finally gets the widespread recognition he deserves. We're doing our part to get the word out about his work. On that note, check out a few more pieces from his portfolio after the break! If you'd like to purchase a print of his work, you can do so on his
Bigcartel.
