What is DALEK?

A Dalek is a member of a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants from the science fiction television series Doctor Who. Daleks are grotesque mutated organisms from the planet Skaro, integrated within a tank-like mechanical casing. The resulting creatures are a powerful bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse (as all of their emotions were removed except hate).

Do you think James Marshall had this in mind for his nik or just chance?

Based in San Francisco Sam Flores creates characters which are hero like. His signatures are that these characters have mostly closed eyes and large hands. The end results is the feeling that these characters are expressing a particular dichotomy in life – simultaneously experiencing ugliness and beauty. “how can the world be so horrible and yet so beautiful at the same time.”

Intimidating – Dark colors, black inset eyes, looks like he is moving toward you but has already closed in. On top of that you are a little bit uncertain about what you are looking at – as if you stared at the illustration for long enough it would change to something completely different.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is Wes Anderson’s fourth feature length film and was released in 2004 early 2005. It was written by Anderson and Noah Baumbach and was filmed in and around Naples, Rome and the Italian Riviera. The offbeat comedy stars Bill Murray as Steve Zissou, an eccentric oceanographer. Steve Zissou sets out to exact revenge on the “jaguar shark” that ate his partner Esteban. It is a really great movie which prompted me to search a little around the net and I stumbled across the below illustration which i thought was great.

Murray’s character is homage to Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The film is dedicated to Captain Cousteau.
