resolution part 1

I think I will start a new habit by looking up at least one new artist a day. Today's was Celine Choo. Her style consists of cartoony crayon brush strokes with confident strokes and long exaggerated gestures. Fresh, colorful and simple.

John Klasson is next. He helped design Coraline images and storyboard the movie. Very linear and simple colors all very nudish tone. His lines are like pencil strokes, comfortable and simple comic look. However, with the color and attention to shadow, there is a lot of life.

Annie Wu is someone I've admired recently. Love her work and am very jelly of her talents! Early recognized as an illustrator she has worked for Elle and other companies. Here's the kicker, we're the same age. Yep, wtf have I been up to?

Lastly, James Jean. Although not a new artist I know, I still think it necessary to write a short blurp about this guy. I love it. It's got intensity, child like haunting and beautiful in detail and composition. It's just I can't say anything bad about this guy.

Quick tip of the day: anuses, vaginas, phallic looking things make the most horrifying creature designs.

So I will have a bit of an art vomit up there along with whatever else I will say.

I guess I'll get New Year Resolutions out of the way. God I hope the world does not end in 2012.
