Tokusatsu

I've been looking a lot at Kaiju and Tokusatsu and have been really inspired by it. I decided to use that as a theme for my scholarship book. As a kid I loved Godzilla and Power Rangers so I've been having a lot of fun using something so nostalgic to me as a subject. I wanted these pieces to just be ridiculous and funny so I created characters that are complete knock offs of Power Rangers, Ultraman, and Godzilla/ Gamera

 The Red Morpher! I really was inspired by Mark Todd with this one
 The Pink Morpher!

These are two of my favorite pieces I made for my Notorious class taught by Jim Salvati. I really liked the assignments in the class because it always seemed to include pop culture. The top one was to illustrate a band and the bottom one was to illustrate a movie.
