Myths and Legends of Russia: the Illustrations Let us have more pictures, shall we? Several of us are experiencing December blues and quite unable to rouse ourselves to the spirit of the season. I hope these may provide a few moments' entertainment at the very least. I never did manage to post these illustrations here. Cross-posted at told_tales and storybookland I feel so silly and awkward sometimes, posting these things in communities; especially having to sign off with my name as the illustrator. 'She waved her right hand, and lakes and woods appeared; she waved her left hand, and various birds began to fly about'Illustration for The Frog Princess. 'I'm Rumbling Thunder! 'Ivashko too walked and walked, and met the three-headed dragon'Illustration for The Three Kingdoms. ‘The fox is carrying me away … Cat Cotonaevich, rescue me!’ Unlike that tale, however, in which Chanticleer manages to outwit the fox in the end, this one does not end happily for the cock. This is one of two of the earliest illustrations which I completed.
Banksy We felt it necessary to blurb a bit about the illusive Banksy’s Barely Legal show here in LA this passed weekend. This highly anticipated event drew a star studded line of onlookers and passersby. Just a few of the celebrities in attendance were Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Shepard Fairey, Perry Farrell (formerly Jane’s Addiction), Zack De La Rocha (formerly of Rage Against the Machine), Meg White (of the White Stripes), Jason Lee, and Jared Leto just to name a few. Most of the buzz from the show stemmed from the live pink and gold painted elephant displayed in the living room setting. As hoards of people lined up outside the downtown Los Angeles warehouse, attendants filed through rooms filled with stencils of work we’ve seen and some we haven’t. A collection of sculptures littered the space.
The Definitive Hyper Realistic Pokemon Collection Not too long ago, I saw a post of several pictures in which Pokemon were depicated in a “hyper realistic” manner. This is nothing new, but I couldn’t help but want more. I had to, as I do with many things, take it to the extreme. I needed a comprehensive, definitive page to always look back on; and what better place than our very own Triggerplug. Let’s get started. The first artist up to bat is Arvalis from Deviant art. Second Artist on the list is Nauvasca, in comparison to Arvalis, her works may seem less eye catching, but I still find them to be a treasure. Next to bat is an artist known as JollyPiik.

The Awesome Environments Of Zhichao Cai Art director Zhichao Cai (aka Trylea) uses no tricks or photocomping in his amazing, ridiculously vertical compositions, featuring incredibly pushes perspectives, impossible architecture and a plethora of detail to scour for in his incredible digital painted illustrations.

If you're in the mood to gawk at some impossible, fantastical landscapes, you'll get your fill with this incredible art.
