In the art world
August 29th 2007 10:48
A friend sent me a classic piece of computer cartooning called Animator vs. Animation by a young artist called Alan Becker. It’s about what happens when an artist draws a little man, regards him as a ‘victim’ and then discovers that the victim doesn’t want to play ball. It’s so well animated that I’ve watched it several times and am still only picking up on the detail. Check it out!
The animation is on a site called deviantart.com. It calls itself the biggest art community in the world, and members of the site can add their profiles, submit art work and keep track of their favourite artists. And in case you think this is one of those sites where the people can barely draw something that looks like a human being, think again. Even on the opening page you’ll find samples of art that are quite stunning within their genre. And much of the art is for sale in various forms.
There’s so much art around these days that almost makes you weep for the future of art. Deviant Art goes against the grain and shows that human beings can still stun each other with their graphic ability.
