Art Coming To Life: Illusion and 3-Dimensionality
It always amazes me to find artists who use their creativity and talent to bring their art to life. I have compiled a showcase of some of my favorite pieces that manage to come right off the paper AND the pavement.
Top Hats and Knives: Review of Tuna Ferit
When I first looked at the pencil art featured at the Society by Tuna Ferit, I was blown away. Revisiting it again several days later with a more discerning eye however… no, I was still blown away. The first and third submissions especially are bordering on photo-realistic. Looking at this art actually sparked a lively debate between myself and my fiance, and to keep this review from simply being ham-fisted adoration of a particular artist (which he totally deserves), I will explain my feelings on the debate with you in an attempt to provide some form of reflection.

Effective Uses of Vibrant Color
One of my favorite tricks in Photoshop is to go straight to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and desaturate. I know I am not alone in this.

Instances of Breathtaking Creativity 2
Out there in the world are artists who see things. I mean, really see things. These people can transform everyday life into breathtaking art. In order to do this you must ignore boundaries in your mind so that you may see how one part of something can blend into something else. Once you see the vision you must then make the smooth transition between ideas. That’s the trick, isn’t it? Other instances of breathtaking creativity involve conveying a vivid feeling, idea, or statement through an image. These artists have done just that, making a stunning composition. I challenge you to feel nothing while looking at these works. Good luck. This is the second in a series of two compilations. Be sure to check out the first installment of Instances of Breathtaking Creativity as well.
Grunge Artwork Depicting Emotion – Ben Tour
Ben Tour uses a sort of messy art style that goes right to the heart. Although his portraits often seem to fade into white space, they seem so raw and real. Notice how he effectively lets your imagination create the rest of the work. I am never overwhelmed by his art, except by emotion. All artists could learn a thing or two from Ben Tour.
