CHUCK BROUILLETTE BFA ILLUSTRATION, 1988 “This series of digital illustrations envisions the concept of the traditional, super-powered comic book character as a film celebrity. As comics and film are two of the most similar art forms in the sense that a viewer takes in the art by viewing panels/film frames. These pieces suppose that comic action is all ‘cast and performed.’ And the players, have their own promotional photos. The glamour aspect is a nod to classic Hollywood films, which are a great inspiration to my art. And the alternate reality of 2D fictional characters stepping into the 3rd dimension as living/breathing, fame-seeking beings, lends itself perfectly to to a typical, fantastical comic book story!”
