Inspirations

hey guys,

just a notice that i added some links on the right-hand side to artists that i admire.

*jeff george is a coloured pencil artist. you'll be amazed at how realistic his stuff looks and what can be done with coloured pencil.

*donato giancola is a fantasy illustrator who works in oils. his stuff is unreal; his flesh is really well painted as well as all the sci-fi machinery.

*todd lockwood is a fantasy illustrator. he used to work in oils; now he works in painter. his style has translated really well, keeping the lush look of his art.

*dermot power is a concept designer. he's done concept work for all four harry potter movies, batman begins and charlie and the chocolate factory. check out his "film visuals", they're amazing.

*ryan wurmser is a painter. i love his portrait and figure work.

that's it for now. i'll add to the list as i think of more artists i look up to.

NBC: The Office

Oh man, this is one of the best shows i've ever seen. it's like a real-life family guy, only it's serial so you don't get sick of it after watching 2 episodes.

i have yet to watch the BBC version but the american one is great. you guys should definitely check it out!

CARS

so CARS was pretty good. i went in with very high expectations, and i came away pretty happy with what i saw. the story is more kiddish than pixar's usual, but the movie is worth paying for even for just the visuals. it's a very beautiful movie to look at.

Painter 9 doodle...

here is something i did in painter9 out of boredom... it's wallpaper-sized so if you're crazy enough to want it for a background then go for it.
