Spotlight: Mike Mongello

27 Nov

November 27, 2011

Mob Week rolls on and on this week, interrupted only by American Chopper on Tuesday.

I hope you’ve been enjoying the spotlights. There are a lot more to come, including some wonderful legends and beautiful art.

And speaking of art, time for the man whose art adorns each and every Mob Week post, Mike Mongello.

He’s no stranger to this site, and we are no stranger to his art. He has provided some wonderful banners for this site, like the big 500th post banner.

Recently, his Halloween banner graced this site.

He’s been the subject of not one but four spotlights in the past. Click on the thumbnails to go to the showcases.

 This highlights Mike’s all-around genius. Find Superman, cars, and beautiful women here.

Star Wars extravaganza!

 Here is the Justice League as only Mike Mongello can do them. A huge selection of heroes, with a couple of members of the Justice Society mixed in too.

 Halloween! This is where you’ll find some amazing interpretations of classic monsters, along with portraits of horror stars like Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, and Bela Lugosi.

And now, since this is the Thanksgiving weekend,  we can all give thanks for some new Mike Mongello artwork.

All of Mike Mongello’s artwork can be found on his site, www.supermonge.com.

Halloween with Michael Mongello

20 Oct

October, 20, 2011

It’s Halloween, I just had to toss The Zombie into the mix.

When you think of Halloween you think of monsters, and I think of classic monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Mummy. Mike Mongello does too, and better yet, he thinks of them in their classic Universal movie looks.

First up is my favorite, Bela Lugosi as Dracula.

Not to be outdone, here is Boris Karloff as The Mummy and Frankenstein.

Look at the expression in those eyes.

Not to be left out, here is Christopher Lee as Hammer’s version of Dracula. For my money, Christopher Lee is the definitive Dracula.

Here’s Mike’s own take on those characters.

But wait, there’s more! The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon.

Now let’s wrap this all up with some monster jams and an amazing banner.

All of Mike Mongello’s artwork can be found on his site, www.supermonge.com.
