When the team unveiled their prototype to the scientific community they were met with harsh criticism and were ridiculed for creating a towering monstrosity that obviously could not function. Unfortunately for everyone, Jon was fuly operational, and the engineers had made a slight oversight by including lasers and “The Will to Dominate” into their design.

POPSMatt Mignanelli illustration New York based Matt Mignanelli works in acrylic on panel to portray humorous characters within everyday situations. “I like to, in a lot of work, leave it open to the viewer to let the imagination run,” says Mignanelli. “With subtle but prominent overtones.

It allows people to relate to the piece and project themselves onto it, what they want to see in the piece.” Clients include Camel Cigarettes, Easy Jet Airlines, Richmond Guide, Honolulu Magazine, Real Detroit Weekly, The Inlander, Rochester Insider, Sojourners Magazine, CSO Magazine, The Dubliner (Ireland), Disability Now (U.K.).
