The Art of Joyce Hesselberth

Posted by: Kenneth Rougeau in Art, Artists, painting, techniques

Joyce Hesselberth:
Bunicula

Meaning is the driving force behind Joyce Hesselberth’s illustrations. “Every item, every line, every texture is important,” says Hesselberth. Her conceptual illustrations are coolly figurative, at times witty or whimsical, but always succinct. Great illustration distills the main message of a text. It has the ability to take a complex or abstract concept and make it readily understandable. “The illustrator’s job is to complement the text, to make it come to life.” Hesselberth melds simple yet clever figures and shapes with original and archival photography to render a message. Her visual language is often sparse, intuitive and tactile. “An illustration must engage the senses and stimulate the imagination.” Hesselberth’s illustrations provide concise statements for corporate and editorial assignments and add wonder and fun to children’s literature.

Ken Wong: Mistaken Identity

Posted by: Kenneth Rougeau in Art, Artists, Websites

Mistaken Identity

Ken Wong has created an amazing array of artwork, testing the waters of a variety of styles & finding himself at home with them all. His illustrations range from storybook to surreal to simply masterful. I only wish I had more room to feature his art here – you have to see it all to truly appreciate the inspiring cornucopia of talent that is Ken Wong.

Two Set Out In Dark Waters

Here’s what he has to say for himself:

“I’m an artist, illustrator, & designer from Adelaide, Australia. I currently work as an Art Director at a computer game studio called Spicy Horse, in Shanghai. I’ve done visualisation and art direction work for a range of clients, mostly in the games industry. All my art is digital, although often it begins as a pencil sketch. I use Adobe Photoshop for everything. I love the art of Gustav Klimt, Mike Mignola, Shaun Tan, Moebius, Zdzislaw Beksinski & James Jean.” – Ken Wong
