After following a trail of retweets Mario Cavalli showed up on my radar. Wow, how come I’ve never heard of this guy before?
Based in the UK, Mario creates visual texturescapes that are quite mesmerizing.
In 2001 he founded Colony Media, which represents a group of directors that seem to share a similar artistic philosophy. The group includes Dave McKean, whom I’ve been a big fan of since his days in comics. It’s interesting to see how his work has evolved with the added dimensions of motion and sound.
Side note: Years ago when McKean did some work for my magazine, I sent him some of the fonts that I created. They continue to show up in his work from time to time, which is always fun for me to discover.
