If you've perused some German Mediabooks (sorry I'm a wee bit obsessed with them), you've no doubt seen the spectacular art of Rick Melton. His paintings are so badass and of course, NSFW. I just love his style and every time I see a Mediabook with his art, I just want to buy it even when I know the movie is bad (he makes
Rawhead Rex look awesome!). If I could afford him, I would love to have him create something for one of my films but I think his work is the absolute best now. I can't put the best examples below because of the nudity but I recommend searching on eBay and
his own site. His style is perfect and I'm a huge fan. His work reminds me of the great Italian artists like Emanuele Taglietti or Alessandro Biffignandi. They did brilliant work for fumetti, which I also love to collect. I'm glad these guys are getting more recognized now because artists like Rick Melton should really be celebrated.
