Every once in a great while I run across an artist whose work makes me really WANT to draw. I won't lie, I have to push myself to get to work. There are times I feel passionate, but lately it just feels like so much work. Monday Will Terry showed us the work of Jean-Baptiste Monge ... look at this stuff! You can TELL he's having fun just by laying your eyeballs on it. He's having a blast! And he's GOOD. I looove love his little creature dudes and their whimsical interactions with animals! I just wanna grab a pencil and draw right now!! (but I won't ... cuz 2 am and time for bed) So great. I had to share.
Had to.

Wow! Those are incredible drawings!
ReplyDeleteRight?? :D I'm glad you like them too!!
DeleteThanks Ginny
ReplyDeleteI think he might have also drawn and written a study of garden gnomes, with a lot of detail and notes about their habitat and features. If not him, then someone who draws a lot like him. Reminds me of JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth.
I still need to read LOTR someday. I don't know about a garden gnomes study but I hope he did cuz he'd be perfect at it!!!
