Commander Riker, #1 ladies man making it so.

I've been watching all of Star Trek TNG thanks to netflix and i love re watching the series i use to see as a kid. now in my 20's i definitely can relate more to the characters and enjoy the entire series. One of my favorite characters is Commander Riker, played by awesome Jonathan Frakes, who hooked up with a girl in almost every other episode. it always makes me laugh when i watch an episode and you can see him smirk as a girl walks by, it's like you can almost time it. I drew this to pay homage to the man, the myth, and the legend that is William Riker, 1st officer of the U.S.S Enterprise. Boldy go sir!! hopefully one day i'll get a chance to meet some of the cast. that would be really great.

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!

The Men in Black New Yorker Cover circa 1969 by Mauro Balcazar



What can i say?

I am a huge fan of the New Yorker covers and every month I look forward to the amazing art they use on their covers. I always wanted to do a New Yorker cover, and came up with a cool little idea about what it would be like if we did make contact, a la, Men in Black, in the 60's. How awesome would it be to have the New Yorker capture this moment in history on their front page cover? I hope you guys like it, i had a lot of fun drawing this and i think it's one of my favorite Men in Black pieces to date that I've drawn.

I added a variant version of the art as well, can you spot the easter eggs i've drawn in there? little nods to the MIB universe and even the cartoon. enjoy!!!! :-)



Enjoy Humans. - Mauro

Men in Black the movie poster by Mauro Balcazar


Hi,

May I present to you fine folks my lovingly created poster for the first Men in Black film. I'm a huge fan of this film, and I wanted to capture the fun I had as a kid seeing this film for the first time and putting that energy on Paper (albeit Digital)

From beginning to end this film was a fun experience to see in theaters and because of the props, story, and most importantly the creature/fx, firmly resonates in my head till this day and continues to mesmerize me. I've tried to draw in some of my favorite characters and scenes from the film and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did drawing it.

cheers Earthlings!

If you'd like a print, just shoot me an e-mail at agliarept@aol.com

Here is a link to a larger version of the image to use for your Desktop/Iphone or whatever intergalactic device you may be using.

MIB poster pencil layout done!


I think this is it.

I've tried to draw every single important, to me, in the Men in Black movie as possible. I love this film and want to give it a great poster for people to look at and enjoy. It's designed to fit inside one of the Oval chairs like in the film :-)

Hope you guys dig it, if not, I can always Neuralyze you!

My interpretation of "The Thong Song"


ok this was a lot of fun. drew this on the iPhone, using my Jot stylus, during a meeting or something where i should have been working lol. Requested by Josh, @shiftmo on twitter, wanted the thong song with kittens and rainbows (i just now remembered the latter) lol.

Never drew a robot with a thong so it was a challenge but i think it came out pretty cool, I cant tell if she's enjoying it or not, The cat's seems to be, but who wouldn't right? Right???

Robots Never Quit




Howdy,

I don't have a real explanation for this drawing, sketch reminded me of a scene from A.I. or some blade runner/Spielberg film. A throw away robot nobody wanted, who knows, but I liked the idea of him just trying to solve the Rubik's cube in some alley alone, proving his self worth, deep eh? who knows, I prob just winged it lol.

Jot iphone stylus!!! ..Kato test


Howdy,

im big on drawing on anything nearby but lately my fingers and weird stylus' just wasn't doing it, until, this fella came around. the Jot by Adonit. Apparently there's a touch sensitive version coming out next month that I might just get. Tested this on "Brushes" and the differences i think are pretty rad. Been on a Bruce Lee kick of late so draw a little more Kato. enjoy!

Glitch Mob - We Can Make The World Stop print by Mauro Balcazar




I was listening to Pandora and came across a new track by the Glitch Mob and became really obsessed with it for a few days. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm in love with all things robots. Listening to the lyrics i quickly painted this image image in my head and really wanted to express it on paper, digital paper. Here's the lyric.

"Stand Still, Pause Clocks, We Can Make The world Stop!"


I couldn't stop repeating the lyrics and found myself sketching on a napkin something randomly. What evolved from that doodle is the following Rebellious Robot drawing that I hope you enjoy. and yes, the Binary code above does mean the lyric. :-) #BONUS

Here the image larger to check out :-)

It's Turbo Time!! Turboman art and shirts by Mauro



It's Christmas time around here. thought I'd post this up, can't remember if i did years ago. One of my favorite films of the holidays has always been "Jingle all the way". I drew this as an homage to the film i grew up watching and to the character of Turboman!! It reminds me of my parents going crazy to always try and get me that 1 coveted action figure for xmas. (they had a crazy adventure trying to get me power rangers over a decade ago, makes me love this movie even more :-))

Here is some art i did and a t shirt design. you can still buy it for cheap on my store.
happy holidays.

Shirts and stickers :-)
