King Kong

King Kong 81 years ago "King Kong" strode into movie theaters nationwide and stole the hearts of women and men alike. Who couldn't understand this tragic anti-hero's love of a beautiful woman and the rage he felt at being displayed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". In the intervening years, Kong has become one of cinema's most iconic movie monsters, featured in countless sequels, remakes, cartoons, books, theme park rides, and even a stage play. Mike Kungl, the inspired 21st century Art Deco artist, has captured all of the glory and all of the sadness that is King Kong as he rages from the top of the Empire State Building in the first edition we are releasing commemorating this American Classic Film from RKO Pictures and Warner Bros. Studios.

After completing art and design school M Kungl applied his graphic design education to achieve a successful career in advertising. Spending nearly two decades creating award winning logos, package design and illustration for companies such as Panasonic, Johnson & Johnson, Toshiba and Nissan Motors, Kungl then focused on fine art full time. Soon into his new career, Kungl never suspected that success on one coast would lead to recognition on another. Within just two years the California artist was selected to create the official artwork for Miami Beach's 25th annual Art Deco Weekend. The Miami honor is just one of many in a succession of developments that highlight Kungl?s growing reputation as a recognized collectible artist across the country and around the world. In addition to strong domestic sales of his images, Kungl?s works are rising in popularity throughout Europe, Japan and Australia. His work is featured regularly in magazine articles, how to books and television shows.
