What children’s drawings would look like if it were painted realistically The Monster Engine is one of those projects that make me love the Internet for its ability to expose amazing creative talent to a worldwide audience. Illustrator Dave DeVries started with a simple question: What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically? In his own words: It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. The Monster Engine is the 48-page outcome from that curiosity, and it looks wonderful. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Below are some of my favorite illustrations from the project. Buy “The Monster Engine” on Amazon.

In the sea, artist tried to figure out a Figure Drawing where a boatman is running his boat so fast because phantoms are trying to guard him from the huge wave of the sea. The stranger is walking through the road by his way and from the jungle ghosts are irritating him but stranger does not care about this big dirty things. Julie Heffernan from Julie Heffernan’s Constructions of Self Julie Heffernan creates sensuous figurative painting, like co-Yale MFAS, John Currin and Linda Yuskavage, but her luminous oils are patently unique among them and most working artists today. A Victorian impetus to conjoin, edging toward pastiche, creates artfully staged Surrealist environments. They avoid the mawkish or macabre by virtue of an evocative 17th century Baroque styling and the dignity with which she handles her primary subject, herself. Good construction is essential to the success of such works, built of disparate things suggesting disparate philosophies and ages. Yet the finished product is seamless, making it easy for the viewer to willfully suspend disbelief in the face of rampant artifice.

50 Mind Blowing Sketches | Penny's Daybook | www.PennysDaybook.com Critic, “I’m an artist myself and” Argument from authority – always a logical fallacy, but even worse when it’s in a subjective field where there arguably can’t be any authorities. “I hate it when people who aren’t artists assume anything someone puts out there is ‘mind-blowing’.” – incredibly condescending, don’t you think? “There were only a select few that were actually interesting and most of them were considerably unskilled-looking.” “Just because someone draws lines in a girls hair or shows the boobs doesn’t make it amazing.” “No, I am not bias towards any creative expression whatsoever but I don’t agree with just how ‘inspiring’ these are supposed to be.”
She Wears the Night (5 pics) I've been a fan of Amy Sol's whimsical, sweet art for quite some time now, she's one of those artists who continuously amazes me with her talent. This new piece, called She Wears the Night, is a small graphite and gouache illustration she made for the Japanese street fashion themed "Sweet Streets 2" show going on now at Nucleus gallery. I just love how the girl in her illustration has the moon on her dress and what looks like an owl on her shoulder. Catch this piece and more at Nucleus Gallery from now until October 4, 2010. Amy Sol
