Bio
Mcbess, born Matthieu Bessudo in 1984, is a French illustrator whose vibrant and whimsical artistry has found a home in the heart of London. Renowned for his unique style that artfully intertwines the nostalgic charm of Fleischer Studios' classic cartoons with modern shapes, symbols, and typography, Mcbess crafts a visual language that is both playful and thought-provoking. His illustrations often feature the artist himself navigating through a surreal landscape brimming with culinary delights and musical motifs, including amplifiers, guitars, and vinyl records. This fusion of personal narrative and dynamic imagery invites viewers into a world that celebrates creativity and self-expression. In addition to his illustrative work, Mcbess has ventured into the digital realm with his innovative NFT collection, Cel Mates. This token-gated web3 prison serves as an exclusive hub for counter-culture and creatives, fostering a community where artistic freedom and collaboration thrive. Through his diverse projects, Mcbess continues to captivate audiences and inspire a new generation of artists.
