I first encountered the art of Emil Schildt on Photosig. Instantly I fell in love with it. He really does like to experiment with all kinds of techniques. Painting with light, cyanotypes, liquid emulsion, photo polymer gravure, the Diana camera, destroying negatives,...

His experiments result in stunning images with striking atmospheres, often unique because of the technique used. He is not afraid of some humor in his work either and that is a good thing also, never take yourself to serious.

His work is a great source of inspiration for me although I've not yet gotten around to do these experiments myself. If only I had more time.
Up till now I only played around with the painting with light technique a little, which you can see here.

Have a look at Emil's work yourself.

Cubism was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the work of Cody Kiser.
He calls himself an outsider artist who is hoping to reinterpret and define new laws for both Pop Art and Cubism.

His work features strong and rich colors and looks cheerful but focuses a lot on isolation, either with or without showing figures. So while the execution of the artworks look positive and uplifting, they portray a rather negative image of our current society.

This is a very beautiful Flash powered website. But is not just a great site to look at, it shows magnificent photography as well. Geraldine Allen uses the light painting technique and she knows how to use her light. The images are very strong with lots of atmosphere. "Ambiance & Transience" is a well chosen subtitle. The great thing about this site is that the atmosphere from the images spills over into the site itself.

My personal favorite is the illustrative gallery but I had to push myself to say that, to make a choice. Check it out.

Welcome to this brand new art blog. I created Z-art blog to share whatever art related sites I find on the Internet and think worthy of a look. Eventually I also hope to write an article or 2 here with some tips and tricks from personal experience. Enjoy!
