Magmo The Destroyer
MAGMO The Destroyer
big ups to magmo. this is some hot stuff. its really hard to pin this site down into a style because it has a lot of different areas. but we can still call this an "art" site. its based around a character called (obviously) Magmo the destroyer. magmo isnt just a pretty face though. he stands for something, magmo's mission statement states:
"Magmo The Destroyer is a universal super hero who fights to protect and educate humanity against all forms of political, social, economic and environmental injustice through storytelling and the visual arts.
Destroy + Rebuild."
thats cool, i dig. whats great about magmo too is that the site isnt just empty imagery to convey meaning. there are actual comic book esque episodes about magmo confronting all the things he destroys. the episodes are really well done as well as entertaining. the panels are done of this insanly vivid and textured multi media look. each panel is a work in itself but there is story and meaning to boot. and its all situations we have all been in which makes it even more hilarious. i like episode 3 the best.
other than the episodes you can view magmo art which is im the same digital multi media style as the panels and news about magmo and the world/internet. a great section of the magmo site is the downloads section wher eyou can download pdfs of magmo stickers layouts and sencils so you have have the gear for free and spread the word. and the links section is packed. itll take you a week to sift through all those great sites.
as i have said in a previous post, artists that gear thier art towards activism come and go but i think magmo will be fighting the good fight for as long as he exists. because if magmo isnt fighting big business, corruption, racism, greed, discrimination, materialism and ignorance then magmo has become what he is wants to destroy and that would be sad.
