Posted in art, illustration, monsters with tags , , on May 22, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Matthew Sharack makes such stunning architectural ilustrations that I actually went through his entire blog to see all of them.

Narrow buildings packed with windows…ever so slightly askew…towers with delicately crooked spires abound…

His monsters and mad men are wonderful as well.

His blog is filled with fantastic sketches and finished work, so take a look.

Posted in anatomy, art, you can't handle the cute with tags , , on May 21, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Every now and then I get wrapped up in adorable things (hence my recent addition of the YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CUTE tag). Martin Bregman has a way with sweet, simple design.

A Rumble in the Tummy:

Look at the happy fellows…

If I ever get a mannequin for clothing design, I do believe I will paint some sort of anatomical design on it. here’s an interesting twist on the idea:

PORKTERGEIST!

There is very little info, and only a few images credited to Peter Fendrik, but I thought I’d share the few I have.

These digital portraits almost look like sculpted art dolls.

Flea Circus!

I wish there were more…

Sandi Calistro paints lovely girls…and even better, girls with skulls and skeletons.

I rather like the dresses these ladies wear.

So cute…

I can’t even decide which of Kate Baylay’s illustrations to post. She covers Russian fairy tales, Roald Dahl, F. Scott Fitzgerald, among others…

Love her style…all the wonderful, gangly, angular characters…

Perfect Gatsby illustration:

People Too: Sheet Music Art

Posted in art, music with tags , on May 2, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

People Too make fantastic whimsical art on sheet music.

Busy little scenes are brought to life on each page…

I love how the notes become structural aspects of the design.

Posted in architecture, art, decay with tags , , on April 29, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I just spent a while letting my eyes wander in Gerard Trignac’s galleries.

Much of his work is centered around architectural structures.

They are shadowy mixes of classic form and industrial grit, often devoid of human inhabitants; abandoned, yet complex and teeming with life.

Such beauty mingling with decay…

Donn P. Crane is one of my favorite 20th Century illustrators. Unfortunately, there are not many resources I’ve found that share his wonderful work. Here are a few spooky/lovely pieces.

If anyone has seen extensive collections of Donn P. Crane’s work online, please let me know!
