Comic Character Illustrations

This Pulp Art Illustration Series is Bold and Beautifully Lined

— July 6, 2014 — Art & Design
Pulp comics are making a comeback and shaking up the comic world as this pulp art illustration series portrays.

When people think of comic books, their first thought usually goes to the superhero genre like Batman and Superman but the real comic genre that has lived on from generation-to-generation is the pulp style and it's coming back with a bang. Leading the way with his crafty lines and bold designs is American artist Brett Parson and his pulp art illustration series. For his series, Parson created a series of illustrations depicting modern comic book characters like The Walking Dead, Tank Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a pulp art style twist.

What makes this technique of art look unique is its rugged and sallow look -- giving it an authentic vintage feel -- because of the rough pulp paper used at the time.
Trend Themes
1. Pulp Comics Revival - The comeback of pulp comics is disrupting the traditional superhero genre and offering a fresh storytelling approach.
2. Bold Pulp Art Illustrations - The use of bold lines and designs in pulp art illustrations is creating eye-catching and visually striking comic book characters.
3. Authentic Vintage Feel - The incorporation of rough pulp paper in illustrations is providing an authentic vintage feel, appealing to nostalgia and creating a unique artistic style.
Industry Implications
1. Comic Book Publishing - Publishers in the comic book industry can capitalize on the pulp comics revival by producing and promoting new series with a pulp art style twist.
2. Art Supplies - The demand for art supplies such as special pulp paper and bold line markers is increasing as artists and illustrators seek to recreate the vintage aesthetic in their work.
3. Pop Culture Merchandise - Companies selling pop culture merchandise can tap into the growing popularity of pulp comics by incorporating pulp art illustrations into their product designs and offerings.
