The charming barber, brush in hand, grinning out of a hot red ground full of swirling paisley gears. He's got the confident showman's energy of a guy who's very good at his job and knows it — a genuinely likable character with a great smile.
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.
