I was recently talking to someone about the aesthetic quality of maps when I came across the work of Arty Globe. The attention to detail and playful quality of the lines add to the terrific perspective created in these “maps”. And to be honest, I think these works speak for themselves.
On a side note, these past few artists I’ve highlighted have me thinking about the “style” of an artist. If an artist/designer/illustrator expects to get work, they need to have definitive style. As someone who considers himself an artist, it seems to go against the mentality of an artist. I always want to try different mediums and styles, so I end up not sticking to one look. Maybe I just haven’t felt strongly enough about any one thing I’ve made, but at the same time, why only do one thing? Oh well…just talking out loud at this point…
Hi Joe
Just wanted to say thank you, on behalf of Hartwig (the artist) for your post!
As to artist’s and their style – I would say that even tho’ it’s good to have a “base” style – experimenting with different mediums and styles is a must for an Artist to grow and develop further, so don’t stop!
