Blood, Sweat and Tears
pixeleye, 18:12h
Benjamin Güdel is a freelance illustrator and comic artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. His bump and grind style is reminiscent of pulp fiction covers and cult film posters of the 1950s with a distinct contemporary, politically incorrect edge.
Güdel’s striking drawings are collected in "Blood, Sweat and Tears", a rollicking romp through pop art portraits, pin-ups, pirates and more. Featuring commercial illustrations for clients including Berlin’s renowned Schaubühne Theater, Burton and innovative Swiss magazines “Du” and “soDA” as well as personal projects, this book is an entertaining whirlwind ride through Güdel’s work.
The book will be released in Europe starting at the end of June. It will go on sale in Asia shortly thereafter with a North American release to follow in mid August.
