Cute and disturbing cartoons define Chicago artist Alex Solis' style. Known as alexmdc online, he's been drawing his whole life but won internet acclaim for his Chunkies series of overweight superheros and pop-culture icons. Solis' latest project features adorable drawings of predators devouring their smiling prey.
Much of Solis' work is inspired by his daughter. The idea for Chunkies, for example, came to him after watching Ninja Turtles and discussing healthy eating. Another collaborative project was designing images to go along with American Sign Language signs.
