Yanick Dusseault was the art director for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. He also worked on many other hits films, such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, and Star Trek.
DuttonArt – One of my inspirations
Meet Michael Dutton, an UHH-MAZING illustrator/writer based in Berkeley, CA. We have been family friends since elementary school and it’s been exciting to see all of his awesome accomplishments growing up. He has a number of projects on his plate now, but you can see some of his past work at his personal blog and his weekly web comic One Swoop Fell. One Swoop Feel is about the great adventures of a cute little bird, named Swoop and his new bear friend Topo. His brother David (also a talented artist), shot this short film of Mike in the art studio:
Always fun to see an artist at work, don’t you agree? For your convenience, here’s a small display of some of Mike’s works. Cheers!
Weekend Inspiration to Take Out Your Sketchpad
I’ve been presented with an incredible opportunity to develop the branding for a new company, but unable to share much because of necessary confidentiality agreements. In other words, I’m couped up inside for months on end without human contact. My blood alcohol level is getting low and soon I’ll have to venture out to replenish my supply. A little design inspiration is in order and today I thought of one my favorite artists, Hyung tae Kim. His style is more Korean “manhwa” style, but if you’re not familiar with that term it’s similar to anime in Japan. He’s one of those artists that’s so good that it pisses you off. Enjoy!
