INSPIRATION II

This category will include PEOPLE only.  Illustrators and animators that have influences with my techniques and aesthetics:

SIR ARTHUR RACKHAM  (English):

The style is more classical, and has the Victorian Era as it's ambience.  Still, there is a children's book feel that is gentle and inviting all the same.











MAXFIELD PARRISH  (American):

This man is similar to the former.  His way of representation in his folklore and tales show a bright color scheme.  He belongs to no specific art movement, developing everything in his own style.










ALFONS MUCHA  (Czech):

He was one of the most influential Art Nouveau painter at the time.  He mostly painted women, and had an incredible series titled JOB after the cigarettes he was promoting.









AUBREY BEARDSLEY  (English):

Also from the Art Nouveau Era, this man was one of the more controversial artists of the times, swaying from both the exotic, grotesque, and sensuality.  Japanese printed patterns are used as the details in a lot of his works.











EGON SCHIELE  (Austrian):

As a German Expressionist, most of his drawings and paintings are extremely gestural in sensual, grotesque, morbid, and discovery themes.  Although his art is the opposite of Beardsley's, their themes are not too far off from each other.
