I am a Commercial Artist, AKA. Commissioned Illustrator, Sculptor, Animator, and recently a gallery artist doing what I've always done, but now on Canvas. , I may also be contacted at
[email protected]
I've been drawing for a really long time. I was born in Chicago and moved to Florida when I was 11. I was raised on a steady diet of Coffee and Warner Brothers Cartoons. One character I received from an old GumBall Machine in the 1960s was also an influence. It was a plastic Rat Fink. I collected stickers and any art I could find with him, and other assorted Weirdos.
Years later, I pursued Commercial Illustration. I created the Subway Subman Super Sandwich character, A Sexy Babe Hula Girl for Lost Enterprises, some animation for MTV (which Viacom recently removed from YouTube ) as well as assorted illustrations for children's books, ad campaigns, promotional t-shirts, giant stage sets , pinups and just about anything that needed artwork.
In the early 1990s I worked with Ed"Big Daddy" Roth and Jimmy (C) Cleveland on Rat Fink Comics. That coincided with my Kustom Kulture themed paintings. Through the Rat Fink Comix assignment, I got to meet and thank many of my early influences: Ed Roth, Robert Williams and Stanley Mouse.
Through the years I also did get to meet and thank Chuck Jones, Ray Harryhausen, John Kricfalusci, Forry Ackerman, and Dave Stevens.
I have also created pinup designs for t-shirts and prints and private commissions, Some of the work I created as a pin-up artist can be seen in the pics section. Message me for another site of my personal work.
Recently, I started a company: MadTiki Gear ( www.madtiki.com ) to place my designs on shirts. .
I have also been creating a few designs for our local public Community Based FM Station 88.5 WMNF.
Please check back and offer any feedback.
Thanks, Chainsaw Chuck Majewski. ( formerly Charles Majewski, Chainsaw Charles doesn't work for me )
