Hello Internet!

Hi io9!

Today is an awesome day, I've been featured in io9! I can't say how happy I am and to hear all the nice feedback from everyone about my art. Since my website MrMauro.com can't handle the power of the internet, I'm going to post some of my more recent projects here.

for anyone interested in commissioning work, feel free to contact me @ MauroBalcazar@gmail.com


on to the work :-)

Here are 2 Mural I designed and painted for the Newark Venture Partners in downtown Newark NJ. I went with a very futuristic art deco meets tron feel. It took almost 3 solid weeks of non stop painting to get done.

I did a movie screening this Christmas and illustrated a poster for my favorite Christmas movie, Jingle all the way. Here's my design for the poster we gave away at the screening. also included is the invite i painted for the event.

                              

Now that the X-Files is back on screen, i thought its great timing to show you a design i illustrated for threadless' X-Files shirt contest. Based off of my favorite episode, "The Unnatural", here's Josh Exley in all his Baseball glory. watch the episode, it will make you cry, sorry not sorry. 

Heres a new take on the "Martian" illustration i did. It's based off of a scene in the book i quite liked with Watney trying to pose for a picture as the Fonz. Really liked the book and I hope it shows in this piece. 

lastly, some digital paintings i did on the ipad a while ago of Iron man. This was a fun way to destress after a long day. 

A Halloween that's out of this world...

a little Halloween Art Treat from Me to you :-) ... Happy Halloween Ghoulies!

"Trick or Treat Abduction"

Conquer!!! a Mars Attacks tribute

Ack...Ack...Ack....

I really couldn't find any great Mars Attacks t-shirt so I took it upon myself to make one! I wanted something really simple but full of color and sorta poignant. I've mentioned before that I am a huge fan of the Mars Attacks series of cards and the Tim Burton film.

So what better way to pay tribute than a martian profile propaganda!

MIB3 Men in Black 3 poster by Mauro Balcazar

Hi, I think it's fitting for me to end, possibly, my Men in Black related art thread with a psychedelic inspired poster for the 3rd film. I've drawn as many characters and retro aliens as I could find. I really love young Agent K's look. it's like a cross between the Mad Men era and the Andy Warhol scene mashed up. really bright colors which i try to never do, but it was fun. enjoy!

Men in Black Drawing #6 Einstein is out of this world

Well

I love me some Arquilians, and it's a no brainer Einstein could have been one :-)

Here's my little vintage photo of the good Dr in a leisurely break at his office. enjoy.

Men in Black Drawing #5 The Worm Guys love the JAVA!!!

hehe

I've always loved the animated series of the Men in Black. the stories, designs, and animation are pretty top notch and carried the same tones of the movies. However, a huge improvement was made on the worms, and there personalities have stayed with me when doodling for ages. Here they are in there animated form as they appeared on the show years ago. These guys are addicted to the Java!! gotta have it!!!!

Men In Black drawing #4 Baby Redgick I am not your father

haha always loved this scene from the first film. Nothing like getting baby puke on your first day on the job. haha Good ol' Agent J and Baby Redgick Jr! enjoy!

Men In Black drawing #3 First Contact

Always loved the photos shown briefly in MIB 1. the ones with agent K handing the aliens flowers. wondered what it would be like seen through the lens of Ray Bans. liberties have been taken and thought I'd play around with a wash of colors. very flat and dull colors to make it look a little retro? hope you like. :-)

Men In Black drawing #2 Steve Jobs is an Arquillian.

This one is one of my favorites. might be a recurring theme through out this little art project. We all sorta kinda knew Steve Jobs was bringing us some cool gadgets and now we know why. Arquillian technology for the win!!

Men In Black art run!!

Decided I really want to start drawing a lot of artwork inspired from the Men in Black series.

Here is drawing Number One. - Mauro
