Redbubble

February 8, 2018 By nicole

I have recently discovered a website called Redbubble, and I am IN LOVE with it.

Redbubble is a fantastic website that allows aspiring artists to easy sell their work. It is unbelievably fast and easy for an artist to upload their art onto the site and sell it on dozens of different types of products. You can put your art on shirts, bags, phone cases, duvet covers, pillows, tapestries, posters, dresses, scarves, stickers, and many other products.

Here are a few stand out artists that I came across on the site:

Buko

Redbubble also has many sellers who create designs for TV shows, books, movies, sports teams, or anything else that you may be interested in:

Artists can even decide for themselves how much profit they want to make from each sale:

Redbubble is a great way for aspiring artists to be able to make a profit from their work, and be able to continue to create more designs. I hope that this amazing website continues to grow, and that it allows artists everywhere to be able to continue to do what they love.

Some of My Favorite Animation Styles

January 31, 2018 By nicole

Kung Fu Panda (2+3)

The Kung Fu Panda movies aren’t the greatest movies in the world, but the animation is unbelievable. The detail, the color pallets, and the accompanying music choice make them phenomenal.

Kung Fu Panda 2 last battle HD

FOLLOW!!! Instagram: tomvarg Snapchat: vargatom49 On instagram i will put some photos after i got more followers. And dont forget to subscribe cuz one day i’ll start this channel run normally!!

The detail in this scene is breath-taking. Poe’s fur, the fire in the background, the reflections in the water, and all the other small details are so flawless.

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) Last Duel Scene (HD)

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) Last Duel Scene (HD) ———————————————————————————————————– For those who came in late, Kung Fu Panda 3 is the third coming of Po, a food-loving panda who is destined to become the dragon warrior but simply can’t believe it. No sir, three films down and he is still to come to terms with it.

This scene is an absolute masterpiece. When the shot zooms in on the grass, you can see each individual blade, and the entire spirit realm itself is mind-blowing .

Yuri on Ice

I’m not the biggest anime fan. I can appreciate the art style, but there are aspects of it that I don’t particularly like. Yuri on Ice is an exception.

YURI free skate & uncensored viktuuri Kiss ❤

So episode 7 peeps ? We have a canon ship , the question that’s been going around is did they kiss ?.. um YES YES YES they did OK? .

The ice-skating performances were all so fluid and perfectly expressed the emotions of the characters. There were a lot of them too, and it was obvious that so much detail and precision went into them that they must have taken forever to make.

Coraline

CORALINE – Official Trailer

From Henry Selick, visionary director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and based on Neil Gaimans international best-selling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure the first to be originally filmed in 3D! Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side.

Any stop-motion animation created by Laika is automatically going to be astounding, but Coraline is on a different level. There is so much phenomenal detail from the color differences between worlds, to the water that looks so real even though it’s made of clay, to a million other little things that make it such a masterpiece.

A Review of ‘Paint by the Numbers’

January 24, 2018 By nicole

A Paint By The Numbers kit comes with a numbered canvas along with numbered paints. You paint in a section with the color paint that matches it’s number.

This is the kit I purchased (I got it for $12.99). “Worldwide famous oil painting The Night Cafe in the Place Lamartine in Arles by Van Gogh”, which is supposed to be based off of Cafe’ Terrace at Night by Vincent Van Gogh.

What the Paint by the Numbers kit is supposed to look like

You can immediately see by comparing those two photos that the Paint by the Numbers version is not nearly as detailed. I like it though. Obviously nothing can compare to the detail and surrealism of the original, but the blobiness of the kit version is oddly nice to look at.

Again, here is what it is supposed to look like

Besides being a bit darker, my painting did end up looking almost exactly like it was supposed to, but I don’t think that I’ll be going a kit like this again. Why?

It took forever. I would say it took me close to 20 hours
It wasn’t very easy. I was expecting it to be a fun activity that was at a beginner’s level, but it was pretty hard to fill in all the little sections perfectly
It’s not mine. I feel can’t post this on my art Instagram or anywhere else even though I spent a lot of time and effort on it because it was basically just like a coloring book
It’s not very quality. I had to put multiple layers on some parts because the paint wasn’t very good. Also one of the paintbrushes they provided me broke before I was finished
It doesn’t look like the original. It’s not hideous, but it definitely does not look like the original painting by Van Gogh that it was based on.

I did enjoy it, and I will be hanging the finished product on my wall, but there are just too many bad aspects about it for me to do another one.

The Art of Music

January 24, 2018 By nicole

Sometimes a song has such vivid and beautiful language that it’s almost as if you can see everything that the lyrics say. Songs such as these are undeniably art. Here are a few songs that I feel have such beautiful lyrics that it is almost as if they create a painting in your mind. I’ve also included different artists’ interpretation of what they see:

White Winter Hymnal (Fleet Foxes, covered by Pentatonix)

I was following the pack
All swaddled in their coats

With scarves of red tied ’round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin’ in the snow
And I turned ’round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime

Perfect (Ed Sheeran)

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

From the ‘Perfect’ official lyric video by Steve New Tasty

Space Oddity (David Bowie)

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue

And there’s nothing I can do

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (The Beatles)

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

On My Own (Les Mis)

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

I couldn’t find any art for this song (and it’s so beautiful that it deserves art) so this is a quick painting I did myself

My Favorite Instagram Artists

January 18, 2018 By nicole

I follow a lot of people on an app called Instagram, 600 in fact. Some of them are my friends, other are celebrities, but a huge amount are artists. Instagram is a fantastic platform to post art on. It has millions of users, it is mainly focused on images rather than text, and it has a great scroll option for artists who create comics. Not every artist that I follow only posts their art on Instagram, but I assume that it’s a huge platform for all of them since they all have thousands of followers.

My favorite Instagram artists (In no particular order):
