04/22/14 Top 3 Pick; Rapunzel Nouveau

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your long hair. This wonderfully long and tangled, rope like mane creates a beautifully nouveau frame. I highly fancy this color palette. The cool blues and bright purples create a glowing evening scene. The hazy wash effect in the background and light circles look magical. The figure’s face seems to glow in delight.

Thank You Nana Leonti

04/22/14 Top 3 Pick; Hold Me

“Before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did”. This design portrays both figures in a romantic and dark embrace under the snow.  I enjoy the treatment of the highly stylized hair leading to the winding frame.  The figures appear sad and feature elongated bodies creating a somber mood. The gothic, enlarged bladed-hands are almost as long as the figures for emphasis on the impossible touch.

Thank You BTolea

“I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust…” I’d add vanity to that list Mr. Bateman! This gruesome selfie appears to be an homage to a certain sex scene from American Psycho where Patrick appears more interested in his own appearance. Well illustrated muscular torso that this psycho would be proud of. Interesting and simple blood splatter background. Nice foreshortening used to place this figure in the infamous pose. I highly enjoy the small slice detail used on the typography in the foreground.

Thank You SilverBax

04/19/14 Top 3 Pick; Mutant Creature

Happy anniversary Simpsons! It’s The Blinky from the Black Lagoon! Marge looks terrified as the Gill-Man styled Blinky carries her from Lake Springfield. Both Blinky as the monster and Marge as the damsel in distress, are nicely portrayed. In enjoy the distressed texture of the design on the dark green shirt. The simple water ripples around the monster’s legs along with the deep green, completes the design without a need for a background.

04/19/14 Top 3 Pick; Who’s this?

No offense intended to the many gorgeous (and I do mean, MANY) Doctor Who designs out there, but it’s refreshing to see a well thought out mash-up that makes sense for both universes. Jack is pondering the Tardis door and the many places and times it may lead. One could just imagine what a hilarious time traveler Jack would make and the unique and gothic spin Burton would put on the concept. The bark texture on the tree is also transferred on to the Tardis, giving it an appearance of being painted on. I very much enjoy the orange background. Its simple use of positive and negative space is wonderful, and very descriptive without attracting too much attention.

Thank You Karen Hallion

04/19/14 Top 3 Pick;  Untold Story of the Daughters of Arendelle

Speaking of repeat designs… Frozen sure is popular these days! You’ll find no mash-up here, however. Just an overall gorgeous design that employs solid colors and forms. The artist wonderfully uses simple lines and forms on a medium blue background to illustrate these lovely figures. I especially enjoy the curves and bends of the shape of both figures’ hair. The figures’ facial expressions makes the viewer wonder what these two sisters are chatting about.

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Gandalf’s Fireworks

No one does fireworks quite like Gandalf! Just keep an eye on Merry and Pippin, there hasn’t been a dragon in these parts for ages… This design has an old-time etching style. The composition is bilaterally balanced and is visually interesting. I enjoy the texture and the different typographic elements. The flat light blue -gray color on the dark indigo background  creates a nice contrast.

This moth/bee provides the honey Heisenberg uses to sweeten his cooks. The design is composed from simple outlines. Wonderful thick to thin ratio of line width to create overall color. The basic geometry is nicely balanced. The large circular seal overhead anchors the design and repeats and relates to the circles within the insect.

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Steamboat Stevie

“Where’s Esteban? Esteban was eaten! He was bitten? Eaten! [pause] He was swallowed whole? No! Chewed!” Stevie is out for revenge on his steamboat after the death of his friend Esteban and he’s packing’ dynamite. Super cute design referencing a movie I absolutely love! Nice big cartoon eyes along with thin Mickey Mouse limbs and big round shoes behind an enlarged ship’s wheel. Pleasant, calm, nautical color scheme.

Thank You TeoZ
