MAD's Bent World Beats
So not much is know about these illustrations that MAD just posted up on his flickr except that he did these guys for an illustration job, and once he gets the green light on these from the client, he will share more. For all you musicians/vinyl lovers out there this is for you, would be really cool to see these turned into a vinyl toy series similar to his Bent World Vandals...and maybe that is what he will announce...until then we can just sit and wait.
