I chose Cedric Rivrain because I love how he seamlessly transitions from line and contour drawings to fleshier illustrations, all within the same work. In addition, I think his work is extremely delicate and elegant. Rivrain is a French artist whose portfolio includes fashion design and traditional art, though he is best known for his exquisite fashion illustrations of runway models. Rivrain has also worked with many major fashion houses designing look books for them, and has collaborated with a few designers, creating ready-to-wear pieces.
2. wes anderson
I chose Wes Anderson because of his quirky sense of humor, and intent attention to detail that makes his films and illustrations so intriguing. Anderson is a film director, best known for his Academy Award nominated film, The Royal Tenenbaums. His films are specific in terms of color use, theme, cinematography, soundtrack, and use of dry humor. He is also considered an auteur, as he is involved in almost every aspect of his films' production. One little known fact about Anderson is that he is also a talented illustrator. The packaging and/or booklet for Anderson's films often feature his illustrations and illustrated storyboards for the film.
3. banksy
I chose Banksy because of his art's confrontation with social issues, and the level of difficulty and planning associated with his large-scale graffiti works. Banksy is an anonymous graffiti artist, located in the UK, though his works have been seen all over the world. Banksy uses stencils and often uses his work to call attention to greater social issues within communities and the world. Banksey is also known to play on the perspective and edges of the item on which he is stenciling. Examples of this include trapdoors and shadowing of figures so they appear three-dimensional.
