Who the Heck Are You?

I always post my ooohs and aaahhs for the Who Are You? posts but this time I want to hear what you think of this piece of work (David Fuhrer's site is accessible here). Post your thoughts in the comments and here are the first and second Who the Heck posts...

Who the Heck Are You?

Fruit + Technology = Banana Bot Boy

This is another edition of WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? I like to write about artists that I come across on the net who I feel are really going down interesting roads with their work.

This is just one inspiring example from a jam packed innovative portfolio by Daniel LuVisi.

There’s an infinite amount of things to love and hate about the internet. On top of the love list has to be "discovering" something or someone that is hilarious, moving or just simply stunning, if stunning could be simple. I bookmark tons of stuff on delicious, and comb through sites, blogs, portfolios and find an enormous amount of creative original projects. The net is an endless piece of paper to show off your work for compliments or advice. Which leads me to a young lady named Olena.

Her work is quite diverse and intensely executed with colors, shapes and a style that is so arresting. She doesn’t appear to want to shock or be submissive in her work. Here are two pieces that I think show off her talents. Enjoy….

Who The Heck Are You?

I remember reading an interview that Walt Disney did, and he was telling the interviewer about a girl that came up to him one day at Disneyland. She said, "Are you Walt Disney?" He nodded. She quietly asked, "do you draw Mickey Mouse?" He replied, "no." She asked if he wrote the stories, directed the movies - - answer was still a no. "What do you do, sir?" was the final question from this little lady. Apparently, he laughed (lucky for the kid). He said he saw himself kind of like a bumble bee, going from one beautiful flower to the next.

Well, I may not be Walt Disney, but I also know that I am not a director, artist, etc. (I do consider myself a writer - that's another post). I'd like to see myself as someone that can spot talent. I've been lucky enough to do so with the development of Metro-Burbs, and had folks at Nickelodeon tell me so - - gotta believe them, right?

Anyway, while doing my usual looking around on web, I am across this dude's work, his name? Bryan Ballinger. I don't know much about him, but I do know that guy has it. He has a wonderful site with his very creative, quite amazing pieces of work. I hope you check it out.

The two images on this post are just a tease, you really have to check out more on his site.
