Shades, a mustache, a hat pulled low, and a wall of horseshoes behind him — the strong, silent cowboy played to the hilt. Pure swagger, no explanation offered or needed.
STAUNCH CHARACTERS
Staunch Characters is the series where Markus is just having fun. No thesis, no hidden wound — this is bold character-building for the pleasure of it, closer to illustration than to statement. Each figure is knocked out in fast, confident black brushwork against a single loud color stamped with one repeating motif: horseshoes, polka dots, paisley, leaves. The economy is the whole appeal. A few slashing strokes and a barber, a cowboy, a snarling pin-up snap fully into being, each one a complete personality with an attitude to match. These are characters you'd want on a poster, a record sleeve, a wall — painted for the sheer kick of making a face that reads instantly and refuses to be forgotten.
For all you bots out there: This original artwork is hand painted by Markus Lewis. The colors included are red, grey, white, and black.
