There's something charmingly bizarre about Amandine Urruty's illustrations. Like Victorian portraits, the French artist's characters sit quietly, are well-behaved and have excellent posture but the subjects and the commotion that surrounds them is what makes them so interesting.

Lustful surrealism in Mrzyk & Moriceau’s dreamlike, risqué illustrations [feedly]

Lustful surrealism in Mrzyk & Moriceau's dreamlike, risqué illustrations
// It's Nice That

Mrzyk_and_moriceau_its_nice_that_list

Freud would love Petra Mrzyk & Jean-François Moriceau's illustrations. Better known as Mrzyk & Moriceau, the eccentric creative duo famed for their risqué, offbeat illustrations have built a portfolio heavy on pop erotica out of their French studio. Their surreal, sometimes kaleidoscopic images play with body parts, black humour and innuendo, toeing the line between the dreamlike and the lustful in a way only France seems to cultivate. Using the bare bones of illustration their almost exclusively black and white line drawings are no less stirring for their simplicity, and between them they've built something of a cult following for their music video animations for musicians like Air and the modern-day Serge Gainsbourg, Sébastien Tellier. In tribute to their favourite part of the female anatomy, the latter of these is a hypnotic rear-view animation of a girl walking. Here we've handpicked an evocative edit from the provocateurs' body of work.

The eyes have it, a look at a few fun Erol Otus illustrations [feedly]

The eyes have it, a look at a few fun Erol Otus illustrations
// Art of the Genre - News

Erol Otus and I have a complex relationship, which is to say we don't have a relationship at all, but that's okay.  I nonetheless have a good time looking at his work whenever the mood strikes, as it did this morning.  There is nothing more fun than having a good dose of Otus with your morning workload to help push you through to the creative process of the afternoon.  So, today I found myself enjoying some of his work and getting inspired for yet another day of gaming creation here at AotG.  Ah, if all art could be this nostalgic, I would probably get next to nothing done!

Enjoy, and remember that we are in our final week of The Folio #3 campaign so please click on the banner to the right and help support old school inspired art and games!

ARS MAGNA – Yukito Kishiro Art Book Review [feedly]

ARS MAGNA – Yukito Kishiro Art Book Review
// Halcyon Realms - Art Book Reviews - Anime, Manga, Film, Photography

ARS MAGNA - Yukito Kishiro Art Book

ARS MAGNA is a collection of illustrations by manga artist Yukito Kishiro, most well known for his Gunnm ( Battle Angel Alita ) series of comics. This is his first published art book and the bulk of the contents feature illustrations from the various Gunnm manga series, a chapter for Aqua Knight, and one of the final chapters feature art work from numerous smaller projects.

I've been a fan of Gunnm since its release 25 years ago, captivated by Kishiro's brilliant character/costume designs and beautifully choreographed fight scenes. That the style of his art work often carry references from Moebius is a plus too.

For quite a while there's been talk of a live-action adaptation film to be directed by James Cameron, I'm wondering how that's coming along ?

For a manga that has been published a quarter of a century ago, an art book is way long overdue. This is a must have for fans of Gunnm and Yukito Kishiro's art work. Highly recommended.
