McBess (Matthieu Bessudo)

Matthieu Bessudo aka McBess was born in Auribeau-sur-Siagne, a small town near Cannes in France. After graduating from the renowned multimedia school Supinfocom (where he studied 3D animation) he then relocated to London to work for the Mill, an Oscar-winning VFX company. McBess' work has been shown in galleries all over the world and his art has been featured in countless art and lifestyle publications. McBess' character-based style is a mix of influences. He cites animation studio, Fleischer, as being a major inspiration. The main characters in his work are most often representations of himself in a surreal world filled with his other passions - food and music. Mcbess modernizes his monochromatic cartoons by using contemporary shapes, symbols and type faces that usually appear in 2D and animation.
