Brad Howe…
Some of the finest illustration I have seen in recent memory. Check out Brad Howe’s stuff on his webpage. His work is inspirational. Nuff said.
The Pink Tentacle…
Unrelated to the infamous purple tentacle…But worth a look for the interesting articles on Japan’s urban myths, 80’s commercials, and photographs of the Osaka Expo in the 70’s. Click here.
こんばんは。Seanの広報担当 鉄子です。
今週末発行(3月21日）フリーペーパーgift裏表紙「graphic art gallery」にて、こちらのTERAMACHI 作品の一部が掲載されます。今回、このTERAMACHI の実寸サイズは A2 とかなりの大きさになります。昨年末くらいから書き始め、ペイント完成までに約３ヶ月かかりました。
上越高田の寺町を舞台に、そこからイマジネーションを膨らませ、人物は描かず、神社や灯籠、お地蔵様、瓦屋根、盆栽 からお祭りまで色々なディテールを織り交ぜながらありえないオリジナルの寺町が完成致しました！
是非細かい所までチェックしてみて下さいね！
The beautiful decay…
Jacob Magraw has created some stunning paintings and drawings, which have thoughtfully been collected here at butdoesitfloat. Especially like the bubble gum anatomy and candy colours. It’s great stuff.
In my absence…
Haven’t posted in ages. Haven’t been doing anything particularly important. Just away from the computer. Which some might say is a healthy thing. While exploring the world outside, I opened a design book at a local bookstore and came across Tadanori Yokoo’s art, posters and design. I must have seen his work half a dozen times or more, heard the name just as many times too, just never put one and one together. To celebrate this colliding of two worlds, here is a link to his homepage. I hope you enjoy his quirky images as much as I do.
Gregg tells the story of the funk…
(That should have caught you attention). Now, let me, let you, know about an Jack Hudson: He is a Bristol based freelance illustrator, has a great style with plenty of whallop and shares a fondness for (the) random(ness) and pop iconography. The future of 1985 has never looked so good. You can see his flickr folio here or peruse his blog here. Love the colour, love the humour.
Making contact…
Al Ouchtomsky kindly sent me an email with some images of his fantastic sculpture and collage work the other day. He is an accomplished artist with some great sci-fi inspired work; made with a combination of recycled materials, toys, putty and a great imagination. You can check out his blog here.
It is..what it says…
Some very fine skills and superb surreal imagery from the portfolio of Iain Macarthur. I do like a good skull.
すんげ〜な！スキルとセンスの良いイラストを書いた人、イアンマッカーサさんのフォリオを見て下さい。俺さ、骸骨のモチーフ好きだわ。kokoda.
But what does that mean…exactly…
Uncovered this gem. Kudos to “but does does it float?”
“In 1980, Lebbeus Woods proposed a tomb for Albert Einstein – the so-called
Einstein Tomb – inspired by Boullée’s famous Cenotaph for Newton…”
Well… tomb, satellite, hills-hoist washing line, cast-away set piece from Kubrick space opera, … what ever it may be, it’s captured my imagination.
Progress…
