Caen Cathedral (Normandy).

These awesome vintage illustrations comes from Señor Salme. His love for pop culture and comic books has inspired what he illustrates today. The first piece from the Spanish artist is called With & Without and it amazing, the grain and classic texture of the old comics gives a nice nostalgic feel to the composition. I love the second piece Space station is phenomenal, very pink and dry atmosphere he gives to the work. The final piece Blossom is very gothic, the composition has a sense of romance with the rose submerged in the beautifully dressed corpse’s head. Be sure to check out more of his work after the jump.
Señor Salme is also on Tumblr.
