In my last post I mentioned how I enjoyed CS Lewis’s writings, particularly his series on Narnia. Part of the reason I enjoy his writings is because he paints vivid mental pictures that just beg to be brought to life. I would like to share with you some outstanding conceptual work by Justin Sweet inspired by the books. Prepare to be blown away by Justin Sweet’s work–visit it at www.justinsweet.com. This is the guy whose conceptual art is the vision for the Hollywood movies currently being made from the Chronicles of Narnia series.
Although I may be wrong, these pieces look like they were done as digital paintings using a Wacom tablet and perhaps sketching and watercolor done underneath before scanning. If you are curious about this technique, you can check out Justin Gerard’s blog as he uses this method. Find out more at http://quickhidehere.blogspot.com/
But whatever you do–don’t miss www.justinsweet.com. This is some of the most amazing art I’ve ever seen.
Hope you enjoyed these gems as I did!
