SugarBooger Kevin Scalzo & Blood Mark Ryden

Speaking of influences. The super hot (yeah, he's hot!) Mark Ryden is a big fan of artist Kevin Scalzo and his character Sugar Booger. A huge hit in Japan I heard. Scalzo's work is a fantastic mix of 70's House of Marvel, Micronauts,Lonnie Toft,Chaïm Soutine and extra chunky peanut butter. Rydens latest portfolio and prints were called Blood Sweat & Tears and featured one print called Blood that was influenced by Sugar Booger. Check out Kevin's work. Some of you might remember him from the Burning Brush auctions put together by Tim Biskup. Man, a lot of those artists are really big now.
