Wooden products

After a couple of weeks designing, prototyping and playing with wood, I got the first product. It’s a pencil container, or holder. Designed for artists, it’s very useful to keep all your markers, pens or pencils. It makes it easy to see the colors and grab the pencil you want.

Jana Schirmer

Jana is a german artist with a great experience in digital art and a taste for dark, imaginary characters. I like the smooth strokes and strong colors in her images. They remind me some comic books and films.

Speed painting (or matte painting, photoshop painting, you name it) is more popular than ever, but it is still hard to find artists that produce such quality works like Jana. If there is one thing to complain about it is that I really miss some pencil on paper sketches and ‘real’ paintings.

Enjoy here work and visit her gallery!

Daniela Uhlig is another great german illustrator. Make sure you check her gallery as well.

These brothers have been telling stories for more than 10 years, spreading the brazilian inspiration all over the world. They have contributed on several publications and they are proudly Eisner Award winners. 

Fábio and Gabriel are very skilled in many different ways and pretty much all the work they publish is nice. Below are some samples I collected over the last months. I suggest you check their blog to view more images!

Beat Eisele

I’m really digging the work of Beat, a photographer from Switzerland. I added him on Flickr last year and to my delight he updates his galleries almost daily. I like the way he breaks the conventional with different angles and lights, specially for the portraits and erotic photos. I’ve used many of his photos for drawing studies.

Artist Profile – Pacman23/Francisco Perez

Posted in Drawing & Painting on March 16th, 2009 by Mario Troise – 1 Comment

With illustrations mixing musical and urban influences, Pacman23 does much more than drawing rappers and sexy girls. His work is incredibly creative, far more authentic than most young illustrator that follow the same genres. I can’t remember how many times I found myself tripping through his sketches.  His gallery is well assorted, with colored illustrations, romantic drawings, sketches, monsters, animals and many cartoons. Very inspiring!
