The Artificial ILLUSTRATES

some of these hand-drawn illustrations made my jaw drop. i can never stop loving it when artists stick to traditional mediums. as much as i love graphic design and feel that it does crazy amazing things, there is just a certain aura and authentic quality about an illustration that has been done entirely by hand. this is true talent that is handed down by the gods.

The Artificial DREAMS OF CHRISTIAN SHOELER

watercolor subjects usually have the tendency to be soft, feminine, 'pretty'; things like landscapres, women and flowers making regular appearances. but christian shoeler in his 'Si le Grain ne Meurt' series chose to use subjects that denote the opposite of the classic watercolor -men. and boy, are they beautiful. they're so dreamlike yet incredibly life like.
