Illustrations on Walls
February 26, 2010 in Graffiti
Book illustrations: Often small-sized pieces of art on paper that relate somehow to a written text.
Instead of sticking to that format, Felix Gephart and Dominik Hebestreit decided to paint book-related illustrations on walls.
Both agreed upon the “Baron Muenchhausen” from August Buerger, a tale that has been illustrated numerous times, way back also by Gustave Dore.
When composing the sketches for murals, Felix often alienates parts from the text and visualizes the motivs of its characters, often mixed with a good portion of irony.
Both artists transform the drawings by eyeballing on the wall. Being notorious believers in study and craft, Felix and Dominik refuse tools like rulers, copy machine, photography or projector, which gives them more freedom in terms of motiv choice, perspective and final execution.

Roberta Zeta – Graphics & Illustrations
February 11, 2010 in Illustration
I’m a freelance illustrator and a graphic designer, law graduated by chance. I live in Padova, Italy, and I have spent most part of my life drawing and loving arts. My illustrations always start from a picture and a certain mood. I am not quite sure what I’m doing when I start to draw until the artwork is finally completed – for me this is the only way to be direct.

“RAPTUROUS NATURE”
The quarrel between man, nature and art, Unavoidable down the centuries, is a matter worthy an endless soap-opera. For or against, willing or not, the artist has always brood in his own shadow over the lunatic terror for the fact that his creation wouldn’t have bear the comparison with Mother Earth. Many took their distance, other ridiscover her right now, some did never abandon her. The confrontation’s just begun…
Inside:
Nanni Spano (Metamorphosis):
High definition and macro modality investigating on details and texture of algas, of cortex, on stones and leaves, have unattendedly penetrated from other image-worlds with a violent meanwhile classical synthesis. While we’re expecting the image to be clear and still like crystal, meeting our visual pleasure, the artist contaminates and melts its elements and sense, slipping in the disquiet for an impossible unalterability- (G. Carbi)
Dan May (Illustrations):
A fairy Arcadia is being illustrated, populated with Beauty-nymphs and Beast-satyrs, fainting infancy and insects. Melancholic poetry enlighted masterfully from the inside.
Heiko Muller (Drawing/Mixed Media/Oil):
Through an unconventional use of stylistic sovrapposition, the artist lets us attend a very interesting mediation between the expressive medium and the natural datum, between illustration and photography, between Pop echoes and Action paintings, breathing life into a powerful and immediate iconography confronting nature and history.
Scott G.Brooks (Painting):
Here’s the umpteenth violence to the american dream, far from being gratuitous, together with the umpteenth homage to renaissance art, far from being imitation. Deformities legitimates themselves with confident looks of disquieting wellbeing; distortion meets smiling our eye. What if the world was this?
De Becker ( Into the wild):
The transposition of the urban subject in the natural datum, fundamental intuition, provokes a grotesque disorientation, but not only… the gamut of sensations provided by these images indicates a relational investigation between man and nature that is far from being unveiled.
