SUCE$$ STORIES Throughout
2003, artist M. Wartella created a series of full-page color comic strips for Interview magazine.
For each installment a celebrity was interviewed about their big break, then the story was transformed into a classic cartoon. |

SCRATCH
'N' BURN A few years ago, Vice Magazine spent a whole lot of money on this scratch-off
gimmick cover art for an issue devoted entirely to their mail room guy.
Scratching off the mirror shades proved to be so addictive,
virtually no one, including the artist, has an unscratched copy! Got
one? |

DOLCE & GABBANA:
FASHION SUPERHEROES
In 2005, the pop art sensibilities of M. Wartella were tapped by Harper's Bazaar for this truly bizarre
multi-page photo spread featuring super-model Naomi Campbell and uber-design duo,
Dolce & Gabbana.
Wartella created word balloons, visual sound
effects, and other weird cartoon props for the layout.
EDITION: March 2005

REBEL
YELL "One day Kory Kennedy from Spin called
me up with an offer I couldn't refuse. See, I'd been pitching him (since
his Rolling Stone days) to do a comic strip about Keith Richards. Finally, one day he called and said he had something, not Keith, but as close as we were gonna
get. When the cartoon was published, it even got a mention
in Page Six, alongside a different blurb about Crumb. You know its a slow
day when cartoonists start turning up in the gossip pages."
