Mike Bell and His Monster Kitsch

on October 5, 2009 - 8:06am


Mike Bell takes classic monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Bride of Frankenstein - and turns them into kitschy goodness.

Whether it's a fez and shriner car (right), or a martini glass and smoking jacket, the monsters of old are given a hip update.

Look through his galleries for more monster goodies (and be sure to peek in the Tiki section if you're into that sort of thing).

More about Mike:

Born and raised at the Jersey Shore – Mike Bell’s art blends an aura of nostalgia and humor, combined with vivid color and a combination of influences. Japanese cartoons, classic monsters, vintage toys, punk rock, carnivalesque images, MAD magazine and Big Daddy Roth are among the cultural forces that have shaped his art. The juxtaposition of counter culture imagery with modern day influences are the blueprint for Mike’s canvases.

The only downside to the site: could not find a way to turn off the music.
