Russia-born, New York-based artist Toma Vagner crafts dynamic, graphic-filled illustrations. Her works seem to combine the formalism of how-to guides with dynamic staging and absorbing messaging. Or, as the artist tells us: “My inspiration comes from Japanese bubble gum wraps, IKEA manuals and Russian Constructivism.”
Madrid-based artist and photographer Pablo Thecuadro uses fashion editorials, some photos shot by himself some shot by other photographers, to create something new. He crafts abstract art by cutting given picture composition digitally as well as physically and in this way builds an extraordinary imagery. Thecuadro breaks away from viewing habits in fashion industry and […]

What??? Tutorials! Tutorials are everywhere! Artists in Blogland has a monthly "Techniques on Tuesday" tutorial going on. The challenge over at Inspiration Avenue this week is to share a tutorial. Every Tuesday, Kristin Dudish has been doing a tutorial try-out and inviting others to try it too and link up. Carolyn Dube's Gelli Plate class is up and running with lots of great tutorials. So, I decided to do one as well. I love books! As you know, lately I've been loving altering old books. Recently I got a this book: and decided to try the simplest one - the X Book! This was so much fun, and easy to make. The instructions in Alisa's book are very clear and easy to follow, although I do recommend folding and cutting a blank sheet of paper before doing your project. To give you a sense of how user-friendly the book is, here is how Alisa portrays the folding and instructions: Best of all, the book is on sale right now at Amazon! You can see more on Alisa Golden's website and blog. (Here's another You Tube tutorial on the folding process, if you need some more guidance, and a "hands free" one with a slightly different take.) Of course, I had to add my own spin to it -- adding in journaling cards, inclusions and tags... Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can. Linking to Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Everyday at Balzer Designs, and Creative Everyday. Hope to get around to visiting everyone this weekend!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ MY BOOKS FIRST TO AVOID SPOILERS!!! Doodles, designs and other things I feel like are worth putting out. This will most likely be dedicated to CH, WWMS and any other future books. If you have anything you would like to see, comment it and I might doodle it! This is my art book so obviously, all artwork is mine unless stated otherwise. Please do not repost/reuse any of my work without my consent. Thanks. #1 artbook 2022/1/9 #1 digitalart2022/2/28 #2 countryhuman2023/1/3
Whether we're on iTunes or Spotify, browsing stores (both online and off) or watching advertisements on TV or in magazines, it's safe to say that admiring album cover art is a part of daily life for many of us.t As long as music exists, the album design industry will thrive, regardless of how we listen to music. Painted Covers Believe it or not, a high percentage of album artwork is painted, using both analog and digital media. Iron Maiden: Best of the Beast Iron Maiden is well known for its detailed album covers. Black Light Burns: Cruel Melody A truly fantastic piece of art that works great as an album cover. Ladyhawke The cover for Ladyhawke's self-titled album was produced using watercolor paints. This cover proves that it works with album art, too! 2Pac: Until the End of Time This 2Pac album cover is a skillfully painted portrait that works really well as an album cover. Coldplay: Viva La Vida A wonderful and fairly well-known album cover. This is one of the only album covers in this showcase that has no digital input whatsoever. The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots A great cover that uses simple painted techniques to really let the viewer's imagination run wild. Jerry Goodman: Ariel A really great piece of album art that has a superb retro feel, with a high level of noise and subtle texture. Terry Snyder and the All Stars: Persuasive Percussion Volume 2 A really cool album cover. Lew Davies and His Orchestra: Two Pianos & Twenty Voices As well as looking great, this cover is clever: on the left side are black lines, representing the two pianos, and on the right are 20 circles, representing the 20 voices. This combines lines of different weights and circles with a great minimal color scheme to really grab the attention of viewers. Muse: The Resistance You have most likely seen this cover before, not only because it is for a top-selling album but because it got a lot of attention in the design industry. Add 2% of Uniform noise and click "OK." Select the Elliptical Shape tool. Select the Elliptical Shape tool again, and draw out a new shape. By playing with simple shapes, you can create some really interesting artwork in minutes! Select the Polygon tool from the Tools panel and, while holding the Shift key, draw your shape. Keep copying and pasting the shapes until you end up with something like this, making sure each shape lines up perfectly: Eventually, you should end up with a whole canvas full of polygons. Now remove some of the shapes until you're left with a collection of polygons in the shape of yet another polygon. You can get some great color schemes from COLOURLovers. You should end up with a nice little pattern like the one below, which took only a few minutes to create: Photography-Based Covers Photographic album art is possibly the most common style today. Below is a showcase of great photography-based album art, followed by a hand-picked selection of guides, showcases and full-length tutorials on photo editing and manipulation. I personally think it's great, and it works incredibly well as an album cover. The Van Buren Regulars: 14 Minutes 'Till 3 This cover uses height to get a perfect bird's-eye shot of an incredible vintage spiral staircase. Nirvana: Nevermind An hugely famous album cover by the great Nirvana. Story of the Year: Page Avenue A really clever cover that uses a bird's-eye view of what looks like an industrial complex or suburb. Retro and Vintage Covers This category showcases a selection of covers that have a vintage and retro style, making use of different typography techniques, texture/noise and illustrations to produce some great results. Pixies: Doolittle This vintage-style cover art uses rust textures (and plenty of them) with strong noisy lines and faded photographs to produce an awesome result. Take It Back: Rumors of Revolt This simple yet great illustration against a textured cardboard background works really well. Riverboat Gamblers: To the Confusion of Our Enemies The limited color scheme of this textured cover has shades that were common in the early and mid 20th
Lots more done on day two, and a total of nine paintings closer to my goal off 100 this year! I think I will be taking my “dewey spiderweb” thing further for a while. More to come, fo…
