Shoboshobo: Aaron/Benjamin




Shoboshobo, real name Mehdi Hercberg is a Paris based artist. His work is very varied, many include: illustration, graphic artwork, clothes design, music and editorials. Hercberg’s graphic artwork was included in Nieves zines 2012 box set, which was documented by It’s nice that’s March issue. He created these intricate pieces that depict deformed monsters. I really like how detailed his drawings are because he creates texture within his pieces, particularly in the top and middle designs. This detail combined with the monochrome colour scheme make the creatures depicted look even more gruesome. In all three of the designs there is also a sense of movement and fluidity within the composition making the design almost entwined with itself, this incorporated with the added effect of texture re-enforces the deformity of the creatures.
