This is one of 2 commissions that I did for Sergio. I'll post the second tomorrow, which is a groupshot- but for this one, Sergio wanted Mike, kind of in repose, with a skateboard and a notebook watching the sunset.
The sunset is a recurrent theme in this and the following drawing, and I can only assume that it symbolizes the ending of the Mirage era.
Love your work Jim.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I love the stillness of it. Mikey doesn't always get portrayed in this light, so it's nice to see something different.
ReplyDeleteIt is symbolic in that. I can also see it is symbolic in Nickelodeon in the form of Michelangelo reflecting on what you and the Mirage dudes did and taking all the aspects to combine and strive to continue as the era of Mirage oversight is coming to an end.
