45 Incredible Digital Artworks by Tomasz Maronski
Jan 28, 2010 Uncategorized
Tomasz Maronski is a digital book illustrator who started with art nearly 10 years ago, working initially with traditional painting. However, traditional oil paintings were too time consuming, and with the emergence of computer graphics, he switched to a digital painting style to improve productivity.
His paintings generally focus on fantasy themes with inspiration from the everyday world. In this post, we’ll look at 45 brilliant digital paintings from Tomasz, some of which you might recognize from the cover of various books. Be sure to check out his CGSociety portfolio: http://maronski.cgsociety.org/
Enjoy the digital paintings, and thanks for reading!

40 Creative and Bizarre Surreal Paintings by Cyril Rolando
Dec 1, 2009 Featured, Inspiration
Cyril Rolando is a 24 year old artist from Paris, France. A clinician psychologist by trade, he also draws for fun, focusing primarily on the human emotions. Despite never attending art school, Cyril’s work shines through as creative and surreal. His inspiration comes from his experiences as a psychologist, and from Time Burton and Hayao Miyazaki. About his artwork, he writes “This is a return to childhood, where animals can speak, dreams become reality and imagination rules the world.”
In this post, we’ll look at 40 creative, interesting, weird and bizarre paintings from Cyril. His work resembles a surreal form of painting, though his work pushes the boundaries of every style.
On deviantART, he is known as AquaSixio, so if you like his work, check out his full gallery: http://aquasixio.deviantart.com/
Without any further a due, prepare to be amazed.

55+ Professional Photoworks by Dpunkt
Oct 30, 2009 Featured, Inspiration, Photography
Frank Dpunkt is famous photographer with a great photography portfolio, and he also is a skilled photomanipulator as well. In this collection, we’ll show off his amazing skills in listed photographs, which present some great ideas about photography, along with some learning tips.
Frank Dpunkt says on his Flickr profile “Why do I photograph? Because I want to see, how things look, if they were photographed and ” The sense of a camera is not to produce smooth and unverrauschte pixel quantities with best sharpness in the edges but pictures! And those define themselves first from contents and the formative idea. It is not to be despised however, if technical execution contents becomes fair. Therefore it is important to know and control the rules relating to crafts. Only who controls the rules, can also break them.”
Hope you like these listed portfolio and leave your comments for more inspiration.
