Tatsuya Tanaka, Miniature Sculptor and Photographer

Tatsuya Tanaka is a Japanese miniature sculptor and photographer. He is best known for his "Miniature Calendar" exhibition, which received a lot of attention from internet viewers and consequently went viral. I found his artwork through Instagram, where he posts a different miniature sculptor every day. His 3-D still-lifes first caught my attention due to their intricacy and clever basis. It is the composition and reimagining of the use of everyday objects into tiny scenes that appeals most to any viewer. I added some of my favorites below!

  3. I love the way this artist combined everyday objects with these small figures. I would like to know if he makes those figures himself.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
