Growing

by Henk ter Heide on Wednesday July 9, 2008

Pen and ink drawings by Pete Bromage and paintings by Nathaniel Fowles and Jon Conkey.

Drawings by Pete Bromage
Drawings of steam locomotives. Drawings of people at work. Drawings of people working the land. Landscapes and old churches. With the quality of these drawing I would have though that Pete Bromage would have his own website to sell his work.
But apparently he hasn’t.

THE ROUNDHOUSE
The roundhouse by Pete Bromage

Nathaniel Fowles’ paintings
From his profile: “When I was eleven or so, I decided that I wanted to be an artist (it seemed like a good idea at the time).”
Going by the not very large set of paintings I’m assuming that Nathaniel Fowles never fulfilled his ambition. Still he paints quite nice pictures of a city that needs no introduction.
According to his profile his paintings depict fragments of stories. Which might explain why I felt that the paintings where trying to tell me something.

Themeworks
To grow people need challenges. Jon Conkey challenged himself to paint 365 oil painting in one year to practice his oil paintings skills. Themeworks is the result of that challenge.
The website consists of 332 little paintings of mostly landscapes. A few people and buildings but mostly lovely landscapes.
Although he has finished this project and moved on this site is still well worth a visit.

Drawing exotic eggs

by Henk ter Heide on Wednesday June 18, 2008

Pen and ink drawings by Horrigboy, Exotic eggs by Cemedia and matte paintings by Dusso.

Pen and ink drawings by Horrigboy
I’ve always wonder what the art is of drawing with pen and ink. Do you need a very steady hand or the kind of nervous habit that keeps your hand moving all the time? At any rate it seems to me you need a lot of patience.
What ever it is Horrigboy has plenty of it. His pen and ink drawings are very good.

Exotic eggs
As far as I can make out this is some kind of trick. But still it looks very sweet.
Cemedia has a little set of exotic eggs. Although I think s/he uses some kind software to bend pictures. They are nice.

Dusso
Dusso is one of the artists whose art was used for Lucas movie Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith.
On his website you’ll find some of the matte paintings he did for that movie. Some matte paintings he did for other movies and personal work.
