This Week...

I dont know if it has been a week since my last update like this, but hey! I think it works.

A newly launched website showcasing illustrators and photographers. It looks like something along the lines of fffffound, except more specific...

One of my all time favorite adverts from the tele. It makes me laugh!!!

Cristobal Schmal (http://www.artnomono.com/) illustrated this cut little animation. Just dont ask me what its advertising because I do not understand what it says...

Pietari Posti (http://www.pposti.com/#412368/MAIN) is my favourite illustrator right now. I am just loving the colours that he uses and the line quality of some of his illustrations. Just thought I should share.

And finally tina burning (http://www.tinaberning.de/start1.html) with some lovely line quality drawings that I just love. Check out the diary section with a drawing a day. Some nice line stuff there.

Logos

The four logos that I did for my most recent project. Pleased with most of them, so yea. Next project, here I come! :P
So the Logos are for fellside, a farm shop, uk space agency, the travelling puppet theatre company and the river side trust.

Degrees of seperation

Project of illustration leaning. Or an actual illustration brief that was completely nothing to do with graphic designs brief. It was fun, only had a week, and half way through that week I ran away home. I was not happy.

So what we had to do was "Degrees of seperation" You know that thing that you can have a friend of a friend who is related to Bob Geldoff. But we had to connect a porcupine, cactus, General Nelson, umbrella, Fuji, tea pot, picket fence, analog telephone, rain cloud and wendy house in two illustrations which both contain all ten for an fake newspaper article. One was full colour, the other two colours.

Book Covers

Two of which are animations:





So they were a pain to do at first, but once I got the hang of flash and doing frame by frame animation I was able to animate them pretty quickly.

So two animations obviously for Forestry and Architecture and then my book cover for Navigation. I feel that between the animations and the book cover dont actually link brilliantly, buts that more to do with change of context...
Well I hope it is, other wise I failed.

This Week...

So "this week" has ended up being these last 3 weeks but at least I am trying to stick to it. Its not the point that I this is only the second post... And anyway I probably should be doing work, or sleeping.


The Tadpole from Passion Pictures on Vimeo.


A very cute animation about a tadpole. You got to love cute animations that don't really have a point to them. Actually come to think of it, not many of the animations I watch seem to have any point to them...



Another even more pointless animation, but its about Stephen Fry and you gotta love anything to do with him. No, really you do...



Because Its bonkers thats why....



FRANK CHIMERO!!!
You got to love his stuff, and he is a very clever person too. Always awesome. Waiting in healthy anticipation for the book. The videos a bit long and boring, but interesting. Does that make it not boring? Well its Frank Chimero so its not...

And his website is here...  http://www.frankchimero.com/

Bagatelle

Ideas for a comic book cover design. I really don't think that the guy will go with the sheep though. I just got obsessed with sheep... and hills.

This week I found...

A really awesome stop motion with paper cut outs. Different way of doing stop motion to stuff I have seen before, and has a strange, filmed live action quality even though it is not.

 

Another stop motion, I seem to like those...

Inspirational Artists: Pascal Campion from Onyx Cinema, Inc. on Vimeo.


An interesting little inspirational video about an illustrator talking about his experience with producing illustrations. I found it quite interesting and definitely worth ten minutes of my time.

http://www.nobrow.net/

A publishers who specifically work with illustrators and graphic image people. Just bought two of their books, Hildafolk and the wolfs whistle. Amazing illustrations and quirky little stories. I have not read wolfs whistle yet, but I am once I have posted this.

Cute iphone 4 covers that I would buy, if I had an i phone I would get one.

Hopefully going to do this weekly and share with you what arty fartyness I find around the internet over the week. Hopefully more than one thing a week but hey, it may not happen like that.
