Hurts Like Heaven

Alex Fuentes's work for Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto Comic can finally be seen with the release of an animated video for 'Hurts Like Heaven'. Directed by Mark Osborne, the video 'is the prequel to the story of Mylo Xyloto, which is to be told via a six-part comic series.' See the video. The comic can be pre-ordered here.

Alex Fuentes illustrates Coldplay's much anticipated Mylo Xyloto comic book

Last week's Comic Con in San Diego saw a teaser of Coldplay's fictional story 'Mylo Xyloto' to be released in a series of six comic books. Alex Fuentes was thrilled to contribute to the art, with some dynamic illustrations following Mylo who is fighting a "war against sound and colour".

Alex says "I find I am most happiest when I'm allowed to use and challenge all of my skills. For me making comics has that diverse creative intensity. I'm just having a blast creating this world and it's inhabitants and placing them in cinematic situations. While building environments, props, characters, graffiti/hand drawn typography and so forth. To top it off I'm working with an extremely talented team!"

The comic, co-written by film director Mark Osborne will be officially released in February 2013.
