I'm going to look like such a copycat but, I swear, I saw this Cleptopod drawing and was going to post about Kurt Huggins and Zelda Devon just a few days before they appeared on uber art site, Drawn. (Congrats, guys, for the well deserved exposure!)A particularly fun aspect of my job has only become apparent in the latter half of my career thus far -- watching artists "turn on." I've enjoyed meeting Kurt and Zelda at various conventions and Society of Illustrators events for the past year or so. While there is a whole like to like about their earlier work, there is a clear and steady progression from good to even better.
Further congrats for their silver medal in Spectrum 15
, due out November 1st.Further reading: An iterview with Kurt and Zelda on What to Wear to an Orange Alert.
And one further note: Zelda has the only tattoo I've ever seriously envied.
Who else won medals in Spectrum 15?

I love both of those pieces.
ReplyDeleteAs an artist, I have to say it's nice to be able to look back & see one's OWN progress.
This year someone purchased one of my paintings to have it tattooed on their leg. I was immensely flattered!
I must have told her a dozen times. "I. Love. Your. Tattoo!!!!!" Easily the best tattoo I've ever scene.
ReplyDeleteLana - That IS a compliment!
ReplyDeleteI always thought it would be fun to start a collection of fantasy covers as tattoos. I know Brom, Whelan, Lockwood, Palencar, Van Der Hagen, Eggleton all have people walking aroudn with their art on their bodies.
Irene; Yes! So much wonderful art, so little body space! *L*

cheap mesos from friends, or you buy
maplestory mesos. If you get
