They say that there are Beatles people and Rolling Stones People. In the early 90s, there were Street Fighter kids and Mortal Kombat kids. I was firmly in the Mortal Kombat camp. Mortal Kombat was this fantastic blend of Eastern and Western pop culture that really appealed to me. I thought it would be fun to draw the original Mortal Kombat characters; blending the old designs with the new character designs. I also wanted to incorporate Memphis design elements as a throwback to the 80s and early 90s. All the illustrations were created with the drawing tools in Photoshop.
