The David Pintor´s magic world

Arantxa Serantes — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:59:23 +0000

David Pintor is an illustrator, cartoonist, designer and painter. As illustrator, he has collaborated with some of the most important publishing houses as Everest, SM, Anaya, Kalandraka, Sotelo Blanco, Círculo de lectores, Biblos, Combel…He has created, with Chinto (Pinto and Chinto), the comic character Tito Longueirón, who after going out weekly in the supplement of humor Xatentendo.com, in a little time has turned into one of the series with more success among the readers of tales. So much it is so his adventures have been exported to other publications as Tretzevents. Also there has realized illustrations for the magazines El Virus Mutante, Golfiño, BD Banda, Tretzevents, ECO, and Sapoconcho. He took part in numerous national and international exhibitions. From 2004, he has started his career as a painter, showing interest to look for new horizons in the area of plastic arts and design and his works have already travelled around different cities in several exhibitions.
The illustrations that I present here are like a journey through time and space. The works were made for the spanish magazine Leer to promote literature in the summer and at Christmas. The technique used is the ink coloured by computer, with which the picture gets a dynamic and much closer view.The result is a reminiscence of comics and cartoons that he usually done with Chinto but with large doses of nostalgia, fixing the details: violins, bikes, coffee shops, books, windows … which create a bohemian landscape and places where no time passes. They are in our memory or in our travels, as a postcard we sent our memories and we are always excited every time we see them.
He has a very well known web: http://www.davidpintor.com and also a Facebook page. There he presents his new works and illustrated books. He always try to experiment different topics, textures and media, as we may see in his videos: urban murals, storytellers, brief films with music…all is possible to communicate and to create a new environment, playing with our imagination.

Charlie Immer’s Carnival

Jellyfish — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:17:25 +0000

Charlie Immer is a 1983-born artist based in Brooklyn, New York. He hold a BFA in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. His colorful paintings and illustrations depict a surreal universe of poppy creatures engaged in violent actions uncovering underneath the cute surface anatomical layers of a gory aesthetic.

In an interview with Sunrise Artists, Charlie explains:

“My concepts come from my fascination with anatomy and my love of candy and toys. I have so much fun creating the blood and bones of my characters. The contrast of the smooth bodies and the complex systems beneath spilling out is very appealing to me.”

This contrast adequately calls for a parallel with the grotesque nature of a carnival. Make sure you also check out his blog and follow him on Twitter to stay updated on his shows and print releases: @SkeletonSlime
