Nevervista

♥ ↑ ► I have decided to create a new blog devoted only to my artwork, my music, and everything that influences both.
◘ ○ ♪ ♫ I will be posting secret sketchbook drawings as i make them, along with archives of older sketchbooks.
{ ▲ : I will also be documenting my portfolio as it continues to grow, while constantly fighting the battle of downsizing, focusing, and honing my identity.

Laura Sue Phillips

Laura Sue Phillips graduated from Hunter, and her work is in watercolor. She approaches the medium through realism, which is common for watercolor masters (i'm always interested in ways to challenge that) but her edgy self-portraits in intimate settings with her dog and the way it challenges the viewer's notions of taboo are what i most admire.

reminds me of a sketch i made a couple years ago....

Laura also makes these watercolor "pattern paintings" which must be compass-drawn and look very similar to my machinavista works. I was really excited to see these.

Paul Antonson

I'll be featuring some posts on artists and illustrators that i like & the why's.
Check out Village Voice's illustrator Paul Antonson, i like his sketchbook pages.
For the past who knows how many years, Paul has made the voice cover for his Mermaid Parade illustrations.
I've always been a big fan of sketchbooks, leafing through other's, obsessively cataloging and gushing over my own, which i keep next to me on shelves at all times.
Sketchbooks are personal, revealing, honest, magical and precious.
