DeviantArt Weekly Showcase #1

// April 24th, 2009 // View Comments // Inspiration

As an artist/designer/illustrator/photographer (the list goes on) you’ve probably run across DeviantArt a few times.  Its one of the largest online art communities to date and an excellent source of inspiration for all artists. You can create your own gallery and showcase some of your finest work!

So starting this week I’m putting together a Deviant  showcase of 10 images that I’ve found that have inspired me.

15 Examples of Anime Paperchild

// April 15th, 2009 // View Comments // Inspiration

For a piece to be inspirational it has to immediately capture your attention and Paperchild does exactly this. This is an art form that I just recently found (checking out Naldz Graphics) out about and it brought an instant smile to my face. The brilliant aspect about Paperchild is its extremely easy to re-create for yourself! But as easy as it seems the true talent comes from the positioning and composition of each shot bringing these little characters to life!

The following images are some of my favourites that I found around the internet!
