For this year’s NYCC, Secret Walls and Kidrobot have teamed up to bring attendees live art battles pitting top artists against one another for 90 minute black + white drawing competitions. On Friday, L’amour Supreme and MAD squared off against each. MAD created a sweet piece blending multiple characters together including MAD*L, Guardians, and his speech bubble character. Lamour paid homage to the comic theme with a gnarly batman/wolverine mashup, tearing his way right out of the board.
In the end, the crowded decided the winner via applause measured on a noise meter. Lamour edged out MAD, but really it was hard to pick one strong piece against the other as the styles are very different.
