Mitch O’connell

Calling himself “The World’s best artist” on his website, I was drawn to Mitch’s overly inflated ego. He separates his digital illustration in to categories like “Arty-farty, Cartoony, Comic book and Cute” which is very uncouth and disagrees with me. Im attracted to his work for its depiction of female sex, satanic imagery and dystopian landscapes. His use of pattern and contrasting colour-shading on the first two images is overwhelming and reminiscent of the traditional tattoo period, which is his main source of attraction. I am always eager to see work that depicts the “dark-side” and he touches on drugs, violence and BDSM. Aside from this there’s a lot about him as an artist that I dislike, most of his work really misses the mark, his style is inconsistent, underperforms when trying to draw realistically, his faces feel off a lot of the time and he heavily relies on exploiting the female form for HIS own profit. A hit and miss artist who’s work feels somewhat flippant and without purpose, and definitely stuck in the ages of female oppression.
