Mark Landman
Fetal Elvis,
2008
mlandman (at) sonic (dot) net
The 'Fetal Elvis' strip has been around since the early 1990's. It has appeared the
last ten years in 'BLAB!', an annual art
publication that features top illustrators, cartoonists, and fine artists. Artist Mark Landman explained, "The overall idea of the series is to reveal the pre-natal adventures of the
king (the only part of his life that hasn't been hideously over-reported),
and combine this with a 'Fantastic Voyage'-like milieu.
This is where Texture Anarchy comes in, to help create the vibrant textures
that make up Fetal Elvis' world. Texture Anarchy was used for all the
background patterns and textures on this page."
