I found this artist on DeviantArt. His work got me thinking how i could use digital software to create imagery that is less render heavy but still pwerful illustration. His one off pieces work well as single illusrations that could sell as limited edition prints and also have a handmade aesthetic despite being digital. I'd like to experiment in photoshop to see if i could create imagery in a similar style: Using more reserved purposeful brushstrokes. The painted edge border design on the 'Hoffnung' piece gives the art a 'one off' feel that would look good in print on high quality paper.
Tom Frost
As the intitial inspiration for this project, Tom frosts work is good for seeing the context that everyday objects can be put into to create indy style limited edition artwork. Toms use of the everyday and colour pallette give his work a warm feeling that invokes nostalgia and authenticity. The combination of old fashioned subject matter with fairly contemporary illustration techniques creates work that function as attractive decor, feeling new and old simultaneously.
