English graphic artist Tony South has long held an obsession with Stan Lee’s imaginative Marvel Comics. Later in life, South – also trained in painting –  found himself commissioned to custom paint a tuner car. Both dynamic styles of animation informed his work to this date. Here we find South presenting a recent selection of illustrations, which depict gorillas as the leaders of hot rod culture.
