Iconic Musical Caricatures by Wardell Brown

I was making my way around the net and came across these caricatures of musical icons and thought they were pretty dope.  Upon more research on the artist, I found out they were done by Wardell “War” Brown.  He’s a freelance cartoonist and comic book artist known mostly for his neo-retro styled vector cartoons working out of San Diego, California.

Greatly influenced by 1960’s advertising cartoons Wardell’s style has been called neo-retro, meaning a contemporary take of classic cartoons styles. Wardell uses vector computer programs to create sharp graphics with vivid colors for use in print and web media.  Wardell is currently works as a freelance artist doing work for magazine, video games, animation, t-shirts and skateboard decks.
