Jeremy Geddes Artista recrea nubes en el interior de una galería Entre el angel y el fantasma emergen coquetas nubes que quedan suspendidas al interior de espacios vacíos dentro de una galería. De acuerdo al sitio web Pijamasurf, se trata de la obra del artista holandés Berndaut Smilde, quien logra reproducir nubes “reales” en interiores. A diferencia de proyectos “similares” en los que artistas recurren a ilusiones ópticas, tecnologías digitales, o extrañas combinaciones de polímeros para recrear elementos que remitan a entidades nubosas, y cuyas obras distan de consumar la ligereza estética que se alcanza en este caso, Smilde utiliza una combinación entre humo, humedad, y precisión lumínica, que le permiten crear estos seres tan deleitables como efímeros. Fue en 2010 cuando el holandés obtuvo el primero de los resultados de su larga experimentación con estos cuerpos. Para más información sobre la obra de Smilde visita su sitio oficial:
Photorealistic Charcoal Drawings of Epic Waves Though artwork created in Photoshop or Illustrator can be nothing short of extraordinary, sometimes it's more impressive to see pieces created by more traditional means. Brooklyn-based artist Robert Longo made these incredible drawings of massive, thundering waves using just charcoal (on mounted paper). Called Monsters, the drawings almost look like black and white photos of that crescendo moment before an epic wave breaks. I like what Metro Picture Gallery said about them: "Devoid of people, location and color, the looming crests of exploding power are notably singular portraits of emotional and physical forces. The near abstraction of the waves is strikingly dissimilar to the more familiar representations of the sea as poetic and romantic, or in terms of man against nature."

Xiao Xiaowan y David Spriggs: Fantásticas pinturas tridimensionales | Artematriz.com Imagen: El trabajo realizado por los pintores Xiao Xiaowan y David Spriggs, se basa en la transformación de la pintura plana a una escultura tridimensional utilizando capas múltiples de vidrio, creando figuras similares a los hologramas pero de notable estética. Ambos artistas, logran ofrecer al espectador distintos rostros de un mismo trabajo, dependiendo del lugar donde se sitúe el observador. Xiaowan, denomina a su trabajo como “pintura espacial”, que consiste en distorsionar las figuras, atrapando a las bestias, siluetas fantasmagóricas o monstruos en los vidrios, logrando dar a conocer lo bizarro del mundo actual. Dibuja los elementos por separado con colores distintos en vidrios polarizados y luego los apila para lograr la imagen final y así dar la ilusión de tridimensionalidad. Spriggs, por su parte, nombra a su obra “esculturas animadas”, creando imágenes explosivas: detonaciones, pirotecnia, tormentas, etc; todo bajo el vidrio.
Happy New Year Art Nouveau 2012 Happy New Year to all of my fellow Art Nouveau admirers! Here are some Tumblr images that have caught my eye so far in 2012...they are a little random! Dirk Dzimirsky And to think, the only Dirk we knew works in Dallas. We ran across these beautiful drawings by Dirk Dzimirsky last night, and as much as we love how he composes faces, we love the way he captures water and movement around the subject's face. Dirk is a freelance illustrator and author based in Germany. Dirk says of his work, "I want to capture and describe a persons precence and specific inner self. Similar to what a detailed writer might employ in their analysis of an individual, I portray not only the physical attributes, but more importantly the subjects inner presence of life." (via)
{Jana Brike art} official page yago's web Juan Francisco Casas creates realistic images using BIC Pens EmailEmail At first sight they may look like some pretty sharp blue photographs, however all those pictures are actually hand drawn with a simple Bic ballpoint pen! Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas uses up to four 14p ballpoint pens to create his incredibly photorealistic drawings, measuring up to 10ft (3 meters) high. The use of penballs makes Juan’s drawings even more original, which certainly has played a big role in his way to success, and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions. His source of inspiration comes from his own photographs of nights out with his friends, so you can only imagine how wild his parties are, as half of his drawings include girls that forgot to put on their clothes.

juliandenarvaez New set of posters made for ADNEditorial Design, Illustration, Print Design2013 I had the pleasure once again of working with Folio art to produce the illustrations for this Douglas and gordon campaign. Special thanks to Chris Belson from Folio Art, for all his hard work and excellent management, and to Ellie Kingsbury also from Folio Art, for always being ready to collaborate. Drawing, Illustration2013 PAPA SANGRE It was really nice to illustrate this amazing application game in which I work with with two wonderful creative teams, Folio art and Something Else. Papa Sangre is a video game with no video. It’s a first-person thriller, done entirely in audio by an award-winning team of game designers, musicians, sound designers and developers. We’ve created an entire world using the first ever real-time 3D audio engine implemented on a handheld device—an almost impossible feat. Illustration, Visual Arts
MotionPhone released for iPad and iPhone « Snibbe App Store MotionPhone App Enables a new Form of Visual Communication San Francisco, April 19, 2012 MotionPhone, a new app for the iPhone and iPad, enables a unique form of visual communication, allowing people to create animations together on iPads and iPhones. In MotionPhone, fingers’ movements become colorful dancing abstract shapes whose personality comes directly from the way one moves. As its name suggests, MotionPhone is more than an animation program. The app was originally an interactive artwork that Snibbe says evolved from his days in college studying animation and computer science. The program eventually found the attention of art curators in the 1990s, winning a Prix Ars Electronica prize—sometimes referred to as the ‘Academy Awards’ of interactive art. MotionPhone takes the same social gaming technology that lets you play Scrabble with your friends—Apple’s Game Kit—and uses the system for collaborative play and communication, much like parlor games of the 19th century.
