Gory Graphic Art

'Revenge' by Justin Mezzell is a Supercharged Comic Artwork Experiment

— March 12, 2011 — Pop Culture
'Revenge' by Justin Mezzel is an exciting and violent collection of comic book-inspired images, which features imagery eerily reminiscent of Japanese anime and the Kill Bill movie franchise.

With its gory but undoubtedly beautiful coloring and sophisticated textures, 'Revenge' by Justin Mezzel takes the idea of a femme fatale to a truly awesome level that even those who don't normally go crazy over graphic novel art could enjoy.

What stands out especially in 'Revenge' by Justin Mezzel, however, is his creative use of watercolor paints in order to create realistic blood splatters. The clever technique gives the illustrations an extra layer of depth and realism, which definitely serves to make them all the more effective, provocative and exciting to behold.
