McBess
The work of McBess has been a source of illustrated inspiration for many new artists over the course of his half-decade-long career. A signature part of style that sets him apart with his natural ability to bring out shadows and highlights predominantly using thin tipped felt pens, a very big feat when working monochromatically. I love the use of lettering to give his illustrations more context, and the flowing, style gives another layer to already unique and intricate pieces.

Thanks for sharing this really inspirational set of illustrations. The style of McBess really reminds me of those very early World War era cartoons and animations. There is also a surrealist feel to his illustrations that I think is accentuated by the use of black and white tones.
