With art and illustration having so many possibilties.. there DOES seem to be a growing "popular" styles out there. I guess directors know what sells!

I worked on an animated show that was a very "simple" style.. and at first i couldnt mimic it! With practise, and patience.. i got it, but it's all about learning to "un-do" what you know.<BR/><BR/>I hear you on that..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-27614096935276292392007-04-09T16:39:00.000-04:002007-04-09T16:39:00.000-04:00Thanks, Nicholas-- I had not thought about the sim...Thanks, Nicholas-- I had not thought about the similarity to Gahan Wilson, but once you mentioned it, I knew exactly what you meant. I really enjoy Wilson's work too.<BR/><BR/>As I have said <A HREF="http://cagzine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=106&Itemid=77" REL="nofollow">elsewhere</A> I love the Spectrum annual. It is overflowing with talent. But when you consider the range of artistic possibilities out there in the world, the styles represented in Spectrum do seem awfully inbred. I assume that is a function of popular taste in the current market. I remember an era when every illustrator was a Frazetta clone. Fortunately we seem to have outgrown that.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-7951067173352707712007-04-09T02:51:00.000-04:002007-04-09T02:51:00.000-04:00Thank you!

They remind me a little of Gahan Wilson's cartoons in their linear style as well as in their bizarre humor. As someone whose work has been in those Spectrum annuals, but whose personal taste runs more toward Paul Lehr and Richard Powers on the illustration side, I can only say, "From your lips to the ADs ears."Nick Jainschigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605536593668106140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-45753775266052143942007-04-08T22:27:00.000-04:002007-04-08T22:27:00.000-04:00In 1977, Dubuffet did a well known drawing for an ...In 1977, Dubuffet did a well known drawing for an album cover for the avant-garde symphony entitled The Pillory by American composer Jasun Martz.
