after feeling like a fool about my last post i have decided to become a more productive... or at least more interesting blogger. since i work at an ad agency, i get some exposure to the world of illustration, so i'm gonna try and feature some artists in the blog. i'm also a picture pack rat, and am a sucker for anything visually pleasing. SO today's artist is Michele Melcher:
she like weird things, "the weirder, the better." she says. she works in a studio filled with vintage pet squeaker toys who stare at her while she labors over her sketches. she drew pictures of everyone in her high school, which is neat because my favorite aspect of her art is her attention to details and line work in her portraits.
everything has a bit of a darker side, which appeals to pretty much everyone.
her artwork reminds me of a social commentary, she draws people she labels as hipsters, and make art out of celebrities, alive and long gone. it's just neat to see someone else's view of the world and the people in it. her dark outline around everything is what catches my eye most... oh how i wish i could capture facial features like she does.
anyway, this is a work in progress. hope that was at least a bit more interesting than my normal ranting.
