Studio Output has updated their portfolio and website with some inspiring new work that stretches across multiple mediums for some notable clients. The word above goes far in describing the work in their freshly updated book.
UK illustrator Boneface doesn’t have much to say about himself at his website but his violent, bloody superhero-obsessed work says more than enough about him and his talent.
This is a friendly reminder not to forget about the downright knockdown dragout kickass studio known as Invisible Creature. We have been knee deep in motion design and 3D lately at our studio but seeing Invisible Creature’s new work makes me want to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty with print again. Their work has been an inspiration to me for several years now and every update to their portfolio yields a new source for that inspiration.
The second leg of the Quentin Vs. Coen art exhibit is underway courtesy of Spoke Art, this time in San Francisco. This show has the fan-boy crowd pretty worked up as Spoke has managed to amass a very diverse and interesting pool of artists who all have had personal takes on films by directors Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers. The video above is from the last show in NY. The current show kicked off June 2nd and ends on the 30th. I wish I could get out there to see it. Enjoy the show if you can make it in person.
Illustrator Cam Floyd recently updated with a lot of new and very choice project work. He has an amazing ability to create a unique piece for virtually every project, accomplished in different mediums through different techniques all while staying on point with rock solid work. He’s a real talent.
Talented illustrator, designer and designer for motion Lindsey Mayer-Beug has updated with some gorgeous new works. It’s organic, dreamy and etherial and it all looks wonderful.
“Under the ‘Angryblue‘ moniker, Justin Kamerer is an illustrator that designs album art, gigposters, websites, logos, art prints, movie posters, tacos, skateboards, t-shirts, sandwiches and just about any other thing he can get his hands on.”Justin describes himself as a professional illustrator and an art whore. Call him what you will, he’s got some handskills and some super fun work in his portfolio. He also has some kick ass prints for sale at very reasonable prices.
Film on Paper has been called to my attention a couple of times in the past few weeks. It is a new website again dedicated to the art of the movie poster. It offers up a broad spectrum of work produced in that vein over the last several decades and is a pretty great mishmash of both then and now. Movie poster art is back on the rise and definitely in popular demand. Hopefully the studios will get on board and start hiring artists and designers to produce memorable artistic posters once again as opposed to a giant photo of the leading actors face that’s ready to go straight onto the DVD packaging.
Mutto is the work of Argentinian designer/illustrator Guille Muñoz. His website is full of all kinds of strange and interesting things. Something totally different is lurking behind almost every item in his nav. It’s definitely an unusual portfolio that showcases a multifaceted talent.
2FromBox is a duet based out of Boston. They don’t have a lot of work on their site yet but I am really digging their illustration style. They have some tasty fan art posted and I am anxiously awaiting their first full on film poster. Let’s see it guys.
Illustrator and Motion Designer extraordinaire Ian Kim has updated with some slick and tasty new work. He’s always an inspiration and his latest doesn’t disappoint. It’s rare you see someone move through so many mediums with such equal ability to create exceptional visuals. He’s the genuine article.
Tatalab is the work of an Art Director and illustrator named Jaime who was born in the Dominican Republic but established himself in Madrid. He’s got some nice work ranging from illustration through motion design in his portfolio.
Brighton based illustrator Jamie Cullen has an interesting mish mash of influences represented in his imagery including references to pop culture but with a throwback 70’s sensibility created out of undeniable modern vector art.
Dudes Factory have some absolutely kick ass tees by some of my favorite illustrators like McBess. The only problem is that between the prices and the shipping they have priced their way out of most buyers in the U.S., especially in this economy. If you can swing it, they have a nice catalog of tees for man, woman and child.
I have been a fan of illustrator James Jirat Patradoon for several years now. He has recently updated with both a new website and several new illustrations for various clients. He’s kept his edge and is still churning out some great stuff.
London based illustrator Ruben Ireland uses ink, dirty water, acrylic, weathered paper, a wacom tablet and Photoshop to create his lyrical illustrations. Strangely enough after employing all of this media his work retains an almost vector-like quality. His images are very clean and stylistic but his subject matter is often playful. He has recently updated his portfolio.
Victo Ngai’s unique cultural heritage is alive and kicking in her illustrations. Her images are simple and accessible in subject but rich in color and movement. They retain a distinctly asian influence that references Japanese and Chinese ink prints. She spent some time on her bio, so as opposed to butchering it in my own words, you can read on below:
“Victo’s real name is Ngai Chuen Ching.
She was born and raised in Hong Kong.
She got her English name, Victoria, when she was in a British kindergarten as Ngai Chuen Ching was too hard to pronounce for the foreign teachers.
However, “Victoria” was too hard for her fellow Chinese classmates, so they started calling her Victo instead. Since “Ngai Chuen Ching” was only called/yelled by teachers or parents when Victo got into troubles, she decided she likes the name “Victo” better.
Victo has been wondering who she really is, where she really belongs to for all these time.
Victo’s cultural background is hard to nail down: she speaks Chinese(Both Cantonese and Mandarin), English and Japanese. She attended Christian schools, but is not Christian. She holds a British National (Overseas) passport but is not truly British. She is a Hong Kong citizen but does not have a Chinese ID card. Her parents live in Hong Kong; her grandparents are Chinese American living in the west coast of the States; and Victo went to Rhode Island School of Design on the east coast.”
Camila do Rosário has a masterful hand when it comes to generating fashion-influenced watercolor and pencil illustrations. Her portraits exude a feminine sensibility in both image and technique that is complimented by the employment of a unique color palette. The clincher of course is that she also hails from one of the most beautiful cities in Brasil.
