Madera takes advantage of elements such as the 'undead', using them in his work to create pieces that have a quirky, unique look about them.
Madera also uses different media to work on such as skateboards and t-shirts, appealing to a target audience of skateboarders, and this also gives him a larger opportunity to collaborate with fashion designers.
In terms of Madera's commissioned work, he shows a busy style exaggerated by his use of bright colours and bold line work. This boldness of his work relates and communicates with the actual subject of his works, as he makes use of bold topics to draw about.
Madera is trying to communicate the creation of unusual work that, in a way, shocks the audience, and this is communicated through the use of skulls and snakes, and other unsettling objects. The colours behind this particular piece above gives the image a brighter feel, and if black and white were used instead, I think that the piece itself would have appeared more darker and have a sinister vibe.
