Alexei Vella

Alexei Vella is a Canadian artist who created the Walrus image for the Ark project. He uses a retro screen print style that utilises both patterns and colours. The image itself is done in a comic book/pop art style with the red half-tone pattern overlaying the walrus. I like this style and am intrigued as to how it was made, if it was made using screen printing techniques then they are very complex and confusing with a multitude of different colours. Overall the image itself is great, it gives off a retro chic look that makes the walrus' smile all the more amusing and captivating.

This is the last piece of work from the Ark project book, I really enjoyed it and as I said before I will be buying it, not only to help the animals around the world but also because its cool!
