i saw his works just before i saw your post
and i think you might like him

Know I’m a little late.. but http://www.raycaesar.com and http://www.markryden.com -You must already know them…

Torsten Slama - he’s a Berlin-based Austrian artist that uses post-apocalyptic sci-fi themes, like a world where only architecture and animals remain. You and he are my favorite modern European artists!

Here’s a blog post I made about him a while back:
http://telephonesnow.blogspot.com/2009/07/summert…

John R. Neil made some really lovely art nouveau-esque illustrations for the 2nd - 14th Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. I’ll try to get around soon to scanning some of the color illustrations for you from an early edition in my collection, as it is very difficult to find a modern printing that includes the color plates, which is a shame as they are so beautiful.

Det finns en svensk konstnär och illustratör som påminner om John Bauer men som mest är känd i USA då han utvandrade dit för att börja jobba med Disney, han heter Gustaf Tenggren. Min pappa arbetar på en biografi om honom och har gjort en rätt fin site också: www.gustaftenggren.com. Jag tror det skulle kunna vara något för dig.

Hi, I hope these links might be of some interest to you:

http://www.americanartarchives.com/

http://www.imagenetion.com/index.html

A huge site containing pin-up art, illustration and art in general. Somethings I think you might like are the “ESQUIRE GIRLS (1946-56)” and perhaps the pin-up art of “Fred Beltran”. I also like very much the sci-fi art of “Jim Burns”. Well, just take a look all over the site, maybe you find some art that you like.

Well, talking about Fred Beltran I know him from his comic book art. Specially from the graphic novels series “Megalex”. More about him and his art can be found here:

Another huge site full of comic book and pulp cover illustration. I found this while looking for cover art of the “Heavy Metal” magazine, which i like very much, since it carried a lot of art from french comics artists. Perhaps you can find something that interest you there.

Well, i hope you like these links. In a next post I will give you a suggestion about books you might find interesting. Have a nice time.

Många vackra vattenscener. Kanske lite för surrealistiskt för din smak, men väldigt inspirerande också

check out the little known belgian surrealist william degouve de nunques, pure original brilliance and also the sublime but criminally unknown but equally fantastic romantic painter Ralph Blakelock

Hi, here are the book sugestions I’ve mentioned on my last post. Sorry for the long delay but I wanted to take some pictures of them to show you but i had to first fix my camera . Meanwhile I had the time to look at my hard drive and I’ve find many links from pages I’ve saved while I browse the internet looking for subjects that interest me. Perhaps you find them interesting too.

Well, The first book is “The History of the Future: Images of the 21st Century” by Christophe Canto and Odile Faliu . This book is a kind of like a “history of science fiction”. It tells how the future was seen in each of determinate periods of the history of our modern age with correspondent illustrations of the time. So the book is packed with “retro” illustrations with the plus that the reading is very interesting. You can find it here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/History-Future-Images-21s…

The book is out of print but you can obtain a used one from Amazon. Here are some images from the book:

The other book is “The Tale of the Unicorn” ( “A História do Unicórnio” in portuguese) from an excellent children book illustrator, Gennady Spirin, in fact any of his books are great, his illustrations have such a magic atmosphere.
Here are some of its images:

And surely you can find much more of his work on the internet. Just use the google image search.

Another great eastern european illustrator is Vladyslav Yerko. Take a look at
www.snowqueen.us to see some of his work. Be sure to explore the menu on
the left, especially “the book” and “the artist”. More of his work can be found in this link:

http://www.estetica-design-forum.com/great-graphi…

And still talking about eastern european illustrators, this is another one, Vania Zouravliov. Amazing work. Take a look at all his portfolio. Here is the link:

http://www.bigactive.com/illustration/vania-zoura…

This one is an american artist, Todd Schoor, I knew him from the magazine Justapox. His art has a funny mix of surrealism with comic-book culture, quite amusing. Here is his homepage:

www.toddschorr.com/

Also there is this interesting five parts interview on Youtube were he talks about his work. This is the first video, then just click on the menu on the right to watch the rest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euhD7zi-nhw&featur…

Well, I stil have other links to suggest you but it’s kind of getting late now. I promise to send you the rest in another post. I hope you like these ones. Have a nice time.

I have to addmit that it would be hard to believe that such a talented artist as Gennady Spirin would pass unknow by you. In fact you know his work since you were a child!
Well, so here are rest of the links I’ve mentioned before. Perhaps you already know some of these but I hope that among them you find something that’s new for you:

A huge site with lots of pulp art. You can explore it by clicking on the links, “All Magazines”, “Genre Magazines” or “Pulp Magazines”.

Anyway a quick way to find what might interest you go for these titles (through the “all magazines” link):

-Fantastic (1952)
-Fantastic Adventures
-Planet stories

Look down on the index for “The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste” and look for “Pin-Up Art”. Well, it’s funny, if they think that it’s bad taste why they’ve put in their “art”
site? Of course we can not compare popular culture with “art” but even popular culture have it’s place and should not be judged by the its standards.

Det här kommer v¨ldigt sent men känner du den finske konstnären Rudolf Koivu? Han gjorde underbara sagoillustrationer i tiderna.
