Like! Like? Special Edition: The Art of Mark Henry

While perusing through the interwebs for art that agrees with me for my next installment of 'Like! Like?: Art edition', I came across the artwork of one, Mark Henry of Berlin (or Anjinanhut as he goes by on DeviantArt.com) and, after a further investigating, I was certain there was no way I could fit ALL the brilliant works he had created into a post as well as 20 or 30 other artists work so I decided he deserved a post all his own! His entire body of work is most impressive but, the ones that called out to me the most were of video game characters that I grown up with. New renditions of Earthworm Jim, Mega Man, and the Mario Bros. were just a few of the many characters that seemed alive on his post page mingling together, separately, on backgrounds of baby blue. I hope the new detail given to each puts a smile on your face as it did on mine. Enjoy and be sure to also check out the rest of his work over at DeviantArt by clicking here
