I can’t get enough of Michael Cho’s great line work, compositions and limited color choices. This  portrait is timely, with the Captain America: The First Avenger movie in production.

Methane Studios

Methane Studios got its start in 1998 when Mark McDevitt and Robert Lee formed a partnership to produce silk screen posters for the East Atlanta club The Echo Lounge that featured some of the best independent bands in the late 1990’s. Today they exist as a two man studio creating package designs, logos, and posters.
