Yoji Shinkawa - the amazing character artist at Kojima Productions
has worked on all the major Metal Gear games and Zone of the Enders.
some of my favourites.
we often see a lot of graphic designers these days re-produce designs with that old 1930’s-1950’s style.
but these are the ACTUAL monaco gp posters they used…how cool is that ?!
some various f1 art i found.
some cute, some funny, some artsy fartsy, and one is a photo.
the anime f1 world champions one is actually really cool with the nose cones and front wings on their head…drawn with quite some accuracy too. also the brown lewis lol.
and the ‘Lord of the Renault - Kimi Raikonen: THE RETURN OF THE ICEMAN”. lol.
the last one isn’t art is it? that’s a photograph of Senna’s car from the Williams fire, or so i read? D:
a photo’s still art to me :p
short but very nice and funny animation from Yum Yum London.
love the little details like the mouse eating the fries. nice art style too.
eternalanthems666 replied to your photoset: some various f1 art i found. some cute, some…
Is this research?Whats this for? i like the anime characters lol
nah not research for any particular project, although it maybe in the future, who knows. i just like f1 and somehow ended up looking at anime of it lol.
i also saw this little cool toy of f1 driver kamui which looks like the things you did. he even has moveable arms and legs…i want one..
and some more of the anime ones from the other post. they have cool little rollerblades too lol.

that last paragraph (and the only one worth reading) sounds like he’s running for president or something
guy needs an editor.
it’s kinda like that yellow book (forgot the name) you made me read. WAY too much waffle. just get to the point and move onto the next one please, i don’t care for your eloquent literature when i’m trying to learn lol you know ?
…OBlog: Design Observer
designobserver.comFirst published in 1928, Jan Tschichold’s Die Neue Typographie (“The New Typography”) revolutionized the way we thought about design by privileging clarity over beauty, though Tschichold showed us that both were, in…
blueprint/architecture designs.
that white on blue is lovely. i think when a white line drawing is on that blue, it is instantly recognisable as a design plan.
playing on this kind of recognition will be key for gardeners’ world.
2.6 seconds. amazing.
hmm :( meant to be animated gif but tumblr doesn’t seem to want to make it move.
inspiration vs emulation
does anyone ever think that people tend to mix these two words up quite a lot.
well…really i think ‘inspired’ is often used when ‘emulation’ should be instead. you see people say ‘oh his work has inspired me on project xyz’ and then you see their own piece and they’ve pretty obviously emulated aspects of the artwork that they saw.
i can’t help but think “no, that wasn’t inspiration- it was emulation.”
i was thinking about this because last week we were asked to submit a piece of our work and 25 words about ourselves for a ‘tumblr showcase’ (which you can see here) and when i got back to college steven said to me that he was almost about to send me an email back asking me to do write another one…that maybe it was wrong/i had made a mistake…something like that. anyways i believe it was because of the people i listed who inspire me. those who don’t recognise any of them, of the 5 listed only 1 could be considered an actual artist in the sense of creating a painting/design whatever. the others are musician, astrophysicist and f1 drivers.
these people inspire me to do work. to do it to the highest quality etc..by who they are.
people like alexius. he doesn’t really inspire me, but rather i sometimes may try to emulate him or his style.
the space vehicle linked above, the shape of it. i took elements and shapes from an f1 car and put them on my vehicle. as a result, i wouldn’t say that an f1 car inspired mine, but rather that i emulated it.
of course in the end it doesn’t matter what you call it. they are just words. they could be called jelly and jam…doesn’t matter…as long as it happens for you.
