Great Artists Steal



To paraphrase Picasso. Apologies for the lack of a post yesterday - sometimes the muse just is not with me. So today - a fairly random sketch book page of visual research a lot of which came from a book of contemporay illustration. Personally, I believe that this is on of the most exciting and inspiring areas of the visual arts. It appears that the artists involved in this media have not forgotten that seemingly essential element of visual art - that which captivates the eye. Subliminal meaning and expression are clearly important, but without drawing the observer closer, one cannot deliver the underlying message.
