Luchador mask/art research (cont)



Excerpt from 

The World of Lucha Libre: 

Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity

By Heather Levi






Also had a search for some examples of how luchadors have been illustrated.There's no shortage of it, so i just need to try and avoid merely replicating it all, and somehow put my own stamp on the popular theme.




Simple, papercut-style vector graphics. 




Screen-print 'style' poster art









Mid-90's cartoon series 'Mucha Lucha'. 
I remember watching it at the time and thinking, I'm probably a bit too old to be watching his (and i was), but all the different masked characters were fun, and is what initially attracted me to watching WWF wrestling in the first place.






Beer Labels inspired by Gods and Creatures from Mexican culture
