mcbess: cartoon art of bearded men, busty women, and some dead pirates
January 28, 2013 8:12 PM   Subscribe

Welcome to mcbess, a land of odd illustrations in black and white*, something of a dark and dingy take on Merry Melodies, where the men are bearded, and the ladies are toothy, busty (and often topless, in a vaguely NSFW cartoony way). There are also some large-scale illustrations with all those elements, and more. Matthieu Bessudo, aka mcbess, is also in a band, The Dead Pirates, and his art and music met with the video Wood (Vimeo; also on YouTube; more info here).

There's also a mc bess YouTube channel, with a rather random assortment of videos, including time-lapse illustration videos

Bonus videos: mcbess drawing live for inkygoodness 4 "PLAY" (another timelapse illustration); an ad for Deezer, featuring *colored illustrations by mcbess and CRCR; Spine TV interviews McBess; McBess, State of an Industry; The Mill's mcbess at Pictoplasma Festival Berlin 2011; The Mill's mcbess paints the Berlin Wall

"I vaz invited to draw a character from Tekken, I chose Julia because of the breast area"

This is in fact how many young artists begin their journey.

Julia's sloth arms are sort of freaking me out. Otherwise I am enjoying this.

Princess Bubblegum, please put you clothes back on! I mean okay, but it's a royal function, the Ice King is around and I think Finn'll get jealous.
