Inspired by Art: Psychedelic Prints by Brock Lefferts

Scott — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 21:00:55 +0000

Today I’m inspired by the art and ambition of Arizona digital artist and designer Brock Lefferts. These images are from his thing-a-day series on Tumblr, where Lefferts has been posting a newly created work every day since January 1. His goal is to make something new every day in 2011. I like the psychedelic style suffused with natural imagery, and the distinctive color palate. These are some of my favorites; check out his tumblr to see more, and follow to see how long he can keep up the daily output.

Creative Inspirations: Drawings by Moonassi

Scott — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:56:15 +0000

I first encountered the work of Daehyun Kim, also known as moonassi, on the wonderful website Escape Into Life. Moonassi was born and still resides in Seoul, South Korea. He studied traditional Korean painting at Hongik University.

In his pen and marker drawings, moonassi employs a minimalist aesthetic to brilliantly illustrate the most subtle and intangible qualities of human relationships. Almost all feature two nearly identical figures, which the titles suggest represent a “me” and a “you”, in some form of engagement with one another. There often seems to be an inequality inherent in the figures’ relationship, and their interactions often appear strained, perhaps even hopeless. And yet there is a great tenderness in these illustrations. Strange and paradoxical, they capture something very real.
