Inspiration: Monzani

UNSPOKEN WORDS
By: Jean-Sebastien Monzani



JS Monzani was a nice discovery. I actually had seen his great photographs on DeviantArt some time last year, but I didn't think too much about them. Back then, viewing artworks was a simple pleasure, one that I didn't truly take much commitment to explore certain artists like I do now. And by some twist of fate (thanks to the inter-connectedness of the Internet) I rediscovered him again, this time through his videos on Vimeo (watch the videos in his channel here). Apparently the guy just started creating short artistic movies and already his name is being known around. What so inspiring is that he first and foremost is a photographer, and like I mentioned earlier, his photos are great sources of inspirations for me, as I'm learning to love photography more and more everyday. Here is his portfolio website, where you can view most of his best works: JSMonzani and another one Simple Moment that houses all of his works so far. What I like about his photographs that they are truly creative, in the best photography sense possible. They are all very clean, sharp, professional-looking with fantastic colors and composition. I actually do aspire to be able to take pictures like his one day, with my own style obviously...

Inspiration Monday



I'm bringing this back :). The last post on inspiration was way back in December of 2008.
And the author of the day is Wenqing Yan from DeviantArt (again!)! The highlights? Her fantastic interactive full-colored flash comics. The one-shot that managed to convert me into a watcher of her work is 1000 Words. Simple, touching, and full of heart, 1000 words is a feast both visually and emotionally.

Saturday inspired.

Did I ever tell you guys how much I adore sketchy and loose illustrations with vibrant and atmospheric palette? I have my set of favorite artists, most of them children's illustrators and freelance artists having some sort of anime/manga influence in their works. Also, I'm a very very frequent lurker over at DeviantArt, the most popular art community in the US and dare I say, around the world... because anyways, art and its appeal are universal just like music. It was at DA that I discovered some of the most amazing unknown artists!! Kidchan is one of them. I simply adore her style, her wonderful touch with colors. The colors basically have the capability to drown you in blissful art heaven and take you to enchanted shores. Her works took my breath away (both literally and metaphorically). And by chancing on her art journal, she also appeared to be a very humble artist, which just helped to increase my respect for her to another level.


Below are two of my most favorite pages from one of her comics... no words spoken, all visuals but they all speak more than a thousand words. So true...


Read the rest of the comic on her journal here!

Also, I finally subscribed to Hi-Fructose magazine!!! The next volume will be out the first week of January 2009 :D. I definitely can't wait to get my hands on the next issue, my nose could almost smell the fresh scent of new pages, and the many gorgeous artworks and interesting interviews to come XD. And 2009, I can't wait to make you the best year yet ^^v.
