Favorite Graphic Designers
I have discovered a website that gives me full use of the virtual graphic design world and illustration world. It really isn’t fair, every time I go to this site I feel like I’m cheating, but in a sense, it’s just like going to the school library and checking out all the really neat Illustration books up there. I can’t tell ya how many new artists I have found out about because of the library. Anywho, I might as well share the wealth: check this out: www.cpluv.com. I promise you will become obsessed.
Now, my taste changes monthly, but a few artists have caught my eye recently:
#1. Liz Lomax: lizlomax.com
Wheeew this girl is good. she defines a true 3D illustrator, actually she is one of the firsts. First she draws up a sketch of the artist. Then she molds some wire and covers the wire with skulpty..after that she paints the model then takes pictures to play with in photoshop. You might have seen some of her work, she does work for rock stars and for high up magazines. She is most def. my roll model.
#2. Alex Turvey: AlexTurvey.com
I came across this guy randomly and I have to say he is interesting. I always thought my drawings were kind of creepy and unique but fun. I really haven’t seen anyone with the same sort of flare, but this guy nails it. I love his sculptures or found object collages. He does work for bright eyes and for companies like “ford”. He is just well rounded and he doesn’t have to change his sick style for anyone. That’s what makes him so profound to me.
Well, there you have it: 3 websites for your liking:
www.cpluv.com
www.lizlomax.com
www.alexturvey.com
