Not that spectacular. Some Bale Rage and UGUUUUUUU~
OH! I ordered some artbooks from Brand Studio Press and they came in the mail today!
I got Francisco Herrera's Sketchbox #4
The only one missing now from my collection is #1... Really should have bought it while I had the chance during it's second printing :( I can only hope there will be a third. Anyway, Sketchbox #4 was a highly anticipated book for me, as I'm a big fan of Herrera's work. If you haven't seen any of his art, I highly recommend doing so. He has such a unique style and attention to facial expressions that his characters easily come to life right before your eyes. I also enjoy his use of line weights, as it helps the characters jump off the page. If you're a fan of exaggerated cartoony characters and comic books, Francisco Herrera is not one to look past.
The second book I got was J. Scott Campbell's Blue Beauties. Many may be familiar with Campbell's art through comic books. To be honest, I haven't run into a lot of comics he's worked on, but I've seen a lot of his work, and I must say they've helped me in finding my own voice in art. This book is made up of a lot of his Comic book covers, so again, if you're a fan of comic books, and you're new to the name, be sure to check out J. Scott Cambell.
Lastly, the third book I received was Terry Dodson's Bomb Shells. Terry Dodson is an artist I wasn't familiar with, but upon looking at the samples of his book, decided it was in my best interest to buy it, and it does not disappoint. Dodson's book is compiled of a variety of pin-up girls, and wacky cartoon characters. It actually upsets me that I hadn't heard of him sooner, but I'm glad to have acknowledged another fine artist. Dodson's work is definitely on my list of inspirations. Again, highly recommended you check out his art!
So yeah! not much art to show from me, but hopefully you'll check out and become fans of the artists I've mentioned above. If you like their art, support them by buying their books!
And in non-art news, I got my haircut today. It's pretty short, so I'm hoping it won't be as uncomfortable when my head gets sweaty, as it was with my bushy pile of almost-fro. Then again, Seattle has decided it's done with it's 2 weeks of summer and is now giving us fall. Seriously, I should not be wearing a sweater in August!
Anyway, that's all I have to say for today. Until next time! Thanks for reading!
