Motor City Comic Con featured table upon table of talented artists, whose styles ranged from comic book to airbrush to portrait. One such artist was Mike Calandra, a man who is certainly not afraid to dabble in watercolors, Eddie.

Mike’s work features striking models in a variety of themes and poses. He focuses on science fiction and fantasy, and has provided artwork for Heavy Metal magazine, Art Scene, and numerous commissions including The Night of the Living Dead memoir. He specializes in dark, sexy motifs, and that is what caught my eye.

I purchased two pieces from Calandra Studios: one entitled “Cthulhu’s Bride” which bears a forlorn woman entangled in a macabre snare of tentacles, and an infamous scene from the original Night of the Living Dead featuring, what I like to call, the Gentleman Zombie as he gazes viciously up at the camera after his first kill.

I urge you to stop by Calandra Studios’ website for a peek at some of Mike’s amazing artwork.
