Celebrity Time Travel

in ,

If the renaissance took place in modern times, and the models were famous pop culture celebrities, what would the artwork have looked like? This was the theme for Worth1000′s photo manipulation contest and the results were quite hilarious. Master Photoshoppers let their creative juices flow as they imagined how Renaissance artists would have painted the pop icons of today.

Kin-Dza-Dza by Alex Andreyev

in , , , ,

There is a long story to tell if the words "Kin-Dza-Dza" reminds you nothing. Briefly this is a title of the famous Soviet sci-fi (with cyberpunk elements) movie directed by gifted Georgi Daneliya in 1986. Few years ago legendary director decide to go with animated version of the movie and just few days ago the fresh cartoon hit Russian cinemas. What I'd like to focus on is the environment drawings done by famous russian digital artist Alex Andreyev, we shared few of them below as well as both movies trailers.

Digital art of Anton Semenov

in , , ,

Dark scary digital art of Artem Semenov tells me not to visit the attic or bad sites at night. He is a member of SlashTHREE and has few of his work on a high rotation during the last few years I can't rid off from the feeling that Anton was awesomely inspired (or just reminds) by the artworks of darkest illustrator in Russia - Cmart and fiction environment artist Alex Andreev
