I hate you Freddy Krueger

never been much of a fan of the asshat you call "Freddy Krueger". Mostly because he caused me many a sleepless night terrified his gross face would come and get me and because my cousins are asswipes and tortured me. so in a way to get over my fear, drew this and thought it would help. hope you horror fans dig it, i actually had fun making the metal parts of his claw shiny and what not.

Calling Dixon Hill come in Picard

Always on the case is Dixon Hill, the holodecks very own gum shoe. I LOVE detective stories like sam spade or philip marlowe and when our captain Picard first donned his fedora i was psyched. Here I'm paying homage to both the star trek character but also dick tracy, another great noir character.

Manos!! the Hands of Fate a Rifftrax event for the ages!

Oh My last night my best friend bought me tickets to go see the Rifftrax team of MST3K doing "Manos: the hands of fate" live at the AMC theater. well it was awesome, the movie was terrible and the Riff team just made it so damn enjoyable I had to go home and celebrate this terrible movie with a great lil poster to 1 of it's main stars!! (i'll get to you one day Torgo!). do yourself a favor and catch the MST3K episode where they riff on this great shitty movie!! its not one to be missed. thanks to Jeffy Jugbutt for buying me tickets.

Jean Luc Picard as Locutus Borg

this one's a tear jerker, my Picard as Locutus when captured by the Borg. this one almost made me a little sad when they show the scene of him being transformed and he has a tear running down his cheek. the Picard doesn't cry damn it!!! Hope you guys dig it.

Geordi La Forge's Visor

OK I'm having a lot of fun doing these!! Here's my tribute Geordi La Forge and his Visor in star trek. Always loved this character and the actor, Levar Burton, is one of my childhood heroes as a kid (thanks reading rainbow!). Always loved the way Geordi described the way he saw things differently through his Visor and I always wanted to do a blueprint style layout for him. hope you guys dig it.

Q the Omnipotent by Mauro Balcazar

this one was a lot of fun. I am a huge Q fan and John De Lancie's performance always makes it really enjoyable on Star Trek. Here I imagine him embedding himself onto our currency just to show us how all knowing, all encompassing, and omnipotent Q is. mischievous bastard! lol

Worf's Klingon Prune Juice!!

this one was a fun one to draw. <--- tongue twister much? lol. here is Mr Worf enjoying his warriors ale prune juice. never drew a Klingon before and had a lot of fun with this one.

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!
