Zack Wallenfang produced a large collection of caricatures on bubblegum wrappers, covering films as varied as Mad Max to Turbo Kid, and Kool Keith to Spring Breakers. This all came about by him taking part in Inktober, where every day of October artists must do one ink drawing. His The Texas Chainsaw Massacre drawing looked rather like TOPPS trading cards from the 1970's and 80's, which came with a sticker and a stick of bubblegum. This then lead him to think to place one of his drawings onto a scan of a TOPPS wax wrapper, creating the appearance of a fictional trading card series.
Here are some of my favourites
Why do I like them?
The colours, to start with, stand out at you like nothing else, you couldn't get much brighter if you tried. Yet all the colours on each wrapper work magnificently together, and portray a bold, strong style similar to that of the pop art movement. They all feature either one or two characters and a title in the main image section, and are wonderfully simple in that way, one image and text, nothing else gets in the way, the style and layout is consistent throughout each wrapper design, even though they cover such a range of films. The style of the illustrations are also really great, they manage to convey a lot of detail, in a relatively simple style, in that they use mainly flat block colours with black outlines to create detail. They are just so strong, and have so much punch to them, with the colours and style of the illustrations combined.
