Alexey Frolov motion reel 2012

in ,

Our favourite graphic and motion artist, young Russian blood - Alexey Frolov aka MrFrukta debuts with motion reel summarizing his latest commercial works made for Moscow based agencies. One can say the reel is a bit raw but we prove his level not only by collaborations we did with Alex (OFFF 2011 Russian Panel, DCN Top 2011) but clearly by a deep list of clients like Justice (sic!), Miller, MTV Russia, Yandex etc. Let's watch his showreel.

Collapse by Selfburning

in , ,

Russian duo SELFBURNING released a new short experimental motion work "Collapse". We've asked guys to speak a little about the project: DC: What is this video about? Selfburning: It shows catastrophically rapid contraction of the body under the influence of a strange force.

DC: What was the main challenge while directing this video? Selfburning: I was searching for a visual style that would not require long render sequence. So I was able to spend more time on the setup of the particles and animate objects.

DC: How long did you make this? Selfburning: Usually I do all in parallel with other projects and work. Customary I begin,then put aside, then start again,and so untill I finished conceived. Therefore, it took somewhere 3 months.

Arthur Alimguzin's art

in , , ,

There are few works on Arthur Alimguzin's portfolio and maybe because of this I feel a hunger for his hyper-realistic drawing. Frankly speaking there are only three works that will be never enough and of course they are worth to watch and enjoyhttp://alimguzin.com http://www.behance.net/goodja

Olga Feldman Linzza - An Anatomy

in , , , ,

I think @Radiohead or @MassiveAttackUK might be inspired as same as us by the latest and the longest project "An Anatomy" created digitally by hands of Saint-Petersburg based conceptual illustrator Olga Feldman aka Linzza. Why I mentioned Radiohead, because this work reminds me their project http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/rh/index.html with the only difference in creation - Aaron Koblin did it with code, Olga - by hands and without 3D dummies.

We had a chance to speak with Olga about her project.

DC: What was the concept behind "An atomy"? Olga: First there was no concept. All I wanted is improve my vector technic and connect it with classical anatomy studies. 3D models that I’ve used before are too rough and I refused them.

DC: What was the main challenge while creating this series?
 Olga: Once I saw that this “studies” could be joined like a puzzle . It was such a conversation between two hands at every picture – they care, love, protect each other and at the same time all of them are linked – in a human that implied. And this hands relationships are very simple, elementary. Soon, pictures became words – give, you, love and so on. Probably, this words I should say a long time ago, but I never did. This serial artwork is about a mother.

DC: How long did it take you to complete the project? Olga: It took time. I started to vectorise first picture about a year ago. Every little thing could bring me down, there were months of doing nothing between pictures, I changed title of the series three or four times, but came back to very beginning – “an atomy” – and unfortunally, there is no correct Russian analog for this title. Sometimes it seemed like I’ll never finish this work – some new details, meanings, nuances, technics appeared and made it all endless. So I just stopped.

The latest finding from Russian design scene - digital manipulated photography from Stas Stankovskiy (on Behance) "I photograph in multiple genres but staged photography attracts me the most. I trust my intuition, and philosophy. This is why I try to give mystical flavour to some of my pictures. Fantasy creates capturing stories with their own rules, their own circumstances and actions. I aim to create unusual pictures which will touch your inner world and will not leave you indifferent." that what he says on personal website http://www.stas-stankovskiy.com

Serge Marshennikov art

in , , ,

Realistic art of Serge Marshennikov reveals Russian beauty in all its virginity with dignity. Each painting is captivating by the play of light and other things that excite and inspire. Personally, I found his works standing out of modern figurative art, maybe because the techniques deep into the Russian classic art of 19 century.There is something between the picture and the eye that makes me to stay mesmerized and watching..

Anton Marrast

in , , , ,

Gifted Russian illustrator Anton Marrast recently finished few new artworks that illustrate Gabriel Garcia Marquez stories. What I prefer in Anton's works is a perfect sense of surreal art mixed with deep thoughts of a subject and polished with awesome skills in digital techniques. We follow Anton's works since old times and were really happy to collaborate with him for our iPad Mag Zero last year. We also featured Anton works at OFFF 2011 (pity we will miss OFFF 2012 that happens in next two weeks).

Original Prints, T-shirts and other goodies are available for purchase on Anton's online store http://society6.com/Marrast
