I’ve been working in the creative industry for sometime now and when I look back I realise I’ve had some incredibly many opportunities to learn new things and really grow as a person. I love my job, I love what I do and love the people I do it with. It brings me a huge sense of happiness to be creative everyday and I have to try very hard to not be such smug prick about it.But it hasn’t Lloyd Harveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01740877711002418125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710810196732975715.post-33752452344741986142017-10-31T11:00:00.000+00:002017-10-31T11:00:06.016+00:00Feature - The Art of Syd Mead
When you hear or read the name Syd Mead, you should become instantly familiar with the man who changed the look of modern Science Fiction cinema. With a distinctive style, a super human set of technical design skills and a client list that spans decades, Syd Mead is possibly one of the most influential designers alive (and still working) today.

What immediately struck me with this book was how stunning the art work was inside and the pages throughout, have been designed and ordered in a very clear and easy to follow way. Its something that is just a joy to sit and look through and, at the same time, is instructional and full of great advice that includes an all important designer methodology and approach.

With the title of the book being called "Dragonart," it initially made me think its focus would be on Dragons but, in actuality, the book is more broadly aimed at the fantasy genre as a whole, taking on subject matter such as fairies, goblins, dwarves and some other mythical creatures. While it does focus on dragons for quite a few pages nearer the middle end of the book, and some of the Lloyd Harveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01740877711002418125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710810196732975715.post-22671055334089993422017-09-14T20:53:00.000+01:002017-09-14T20:53:48.992+01:003 Big Things I Learned At Industry Workshops This Year
Having recently transitioned job roles from a focused UI / UX designer back to a Games Artist, I found myself drawing more than ever before. This return to a love I had put down for about three years, came about at the right time to really get the most out of attending the entertainment-design-industry-orientated event, Industry Workshops, here in London.

You've talked about how you use underwater motifs and symbols, like jellyfish and octopuses, to show your interest in surrealism within your work, and that your interest in pin up art is also present too. Stylistically you were influenced by the style of art nouveau and manga and you could say that your work is a representation of what interests you in the moment you create it.

Today’s feature is a creative person who I have learnt a great deal from through his work, book and his Youtube channel. Bobby Chiu is more than an illustrator. Not only has he designed for films such as Tim Burton’s version of Alice In Wonderland but has also worked with Disney, Dreamworks and Sony (to merely scratch the surface of his client list).

Bryan Hitch is a seasoned professional and shares some solid advice in his book.
Growing up, I've always been interested in illustrating for comic books and I remember saying, on a number of occasions to my mum, that I wanted to be a cartoonist. In the last few years, a number of friends have also spoken to me about how my weirder work would really suit the panelled medium.

With a very busy work and life schedule, it has been a long time since I first approached Sean for an interview (almost a year at writing this now) and managed to figuratively pin him down but, I believe, the wait was well worth it. Results speak for themselves and this interview, I think, is one of the best I have conducted so far.

I have had the privilege of having concept designs that I have created for a games project, turned into 3D models by Marc Hermitte and I hope that one day in the not so near future, more of my work will go through the 3D process via this talented 3D modeller, animator and artist.

Featuring Chet Zar, Paul Kidby, Mike Corriero, Alex Ruiz, Nathan Spoor and John Howe
Why do you do what you do? It is a question I have been asking myself quite a bit recently, not knowing fully where I want to go with my own art or why I even do it in the first place. I have been asking myself this and, this month, I asked 6 other top artists that very question and here I present their Lloyd Harveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01740877711002418125noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710810196732975715.post-42469242475467943742012-02-02T09:29:00.000+00:002012-02-02T09:29:17.094+00:00Simon Sherry Interview
Simon Sherry was brought up on the same sort of things that I was and as a result, creates art work that I absolutely love. Dark, edgy and not without humor, Simon mixes mediums to create his striking art and has a style that lends itself well to the comic and pop surreal genres.

Some say that a sequel to a film is never as good as its first but there are cases where the 2nd film in a movie franchise far surpasses the original. Films like Terminator 2 or Aliens for instance.
Well, for the 2nd year in a row, surrealist painter of the dark, Chet Zar, has put his curator hat on, picked up the sculpting trow and organised another sculpture orientated art show at the Lloyd Harveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01740877711002418125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710810196732975715.post-87505578680224907892012-01-05T09:22:00.000+00:002012-01-05T09:22:47.667+00:00Nathan Spoor Interview
Nathan Spoor is an incredibly prolific and original artist and painter. He creates such vast and vivid landscapes and brings to life the wonder, splendor and majesty of such sublime dream worlds. Added to this, he is a deep thinker and has a creative process I have never encountered before, in that he 'converses' with his creations.

As I become more and more busy with other things, the rate in which I get these interviews posted will sadly slow down from now on. But I wanted to make sure that before I got bogged down with work and stuff, I got to interview this man and get that interview up on the web.

I had seen Simon's work in ImagineFX magazine some time ago and I can remember being really impressed by it then. Several years later, an artist friend suggested I interview him and to be honest, at the time, I didn't recognize the name but when I saw the work I instantly thought "YES! This guy is amazing, I will bug him with some questions."

There is a wonderful escapism to Tom Kidd's work. He paints such beautiful worlds of tranquillity and majesty that it makes me wish I could visit and explore them in one of his brilliant looking Zeppelins.Having been a working illustrator for 30 years now, Tom has certainly created a large back catologe of awesome paintings that made it very difficult for me to decide which to use.
