Lots of Art Links

by

Watercolor paintings of Warner Bros. Cartoon Characters by Scott Seeto for the Warner Bros. Store. Great stuff. LINK

Blue Sky Disney has reported the loss of movie poster artist John Alvin who is best know, to me, for the beautiful moody preview poster for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. LINK

He also worked on: Aladdin, Pocahontas, Atlantis, Quest for Camelot, Hunchback, Lion King, Harry Potter, Hercules,  Tarzan, StarWars, etc. He did all the serious Disney movie posters vs. the happy kids posters.

Felix Lorioux’s Puss In Boots at the ASIFA Archive. Great illustrations. LINK

Charles Vess shows progress photos of a painting commission. Some amazing stuff. LINK

Dinotopia artist James Gurney has posts on doing a painting with a limited pallet. Great idea for illustration as well maybe the color of comics. LINK

A lucky lady has won to be immortalized (for a year) as a pirate in the line for Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean. Check out the beautiful watercolor here. LINK

James (Dinotopia) Gurney’s blog

by

Amazing painter and illustrator James Gurney, artist/author of Dinotopia, has been posting to a blog about his recent book tour as well as lots of excllent notes on art and classic painting techniques. Really a treat for art traditionalist as well as the digital devotees.

His recent posts on COLOR and INSIGHT/DELIGHT were both fun to read and very educational.

Here is one of his images that was on the cover of Prehistoric Times magazine. Check out there website too since I am borrowing the image with out permission.

the Hobbit - David Wenzel

I remember seeing Mr. Wenzel’s graphic novel of The Hobbit back when I was…well…a bit younger then now. I was blown away by his amazing watercolor work that he continues today. Check out his work at davidwenzel.com.

Fantasy paintings

by

These are some fantasy painted studies that I created in watercolor and goash. A great source of reference was a catalog from Museums Replicas that makes costumes, props and weapons. You use to be able to request a free catalog, but that service has seemed to vanish from the site.
