Artist Profile Challenge!

Brianhjh · Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2005 5:07 pm Post subject:

Artist profiles are very convinient tools to see who shares your style of art, who you shoud aspired to, and is a good art history lesson.

Because most of this site made up by fangirls with brain size of a coffee bean

, the artist profiles WILL focus on contemporary Japanese artists.

But, you can't forget classical, or even the ones who are famous purely by their actions (for example, Adolf Hitler)

So your challenge is,

Pick some artist you really like, find 7-10 pictures of good quality, and post them in chronological (if obvious) order coupled with a short biography. if the artist is still alive and has a website, a link would be perfect Wink

Anyway, These are the artists who needs special attention as they are prominent and well known.

Names in Red have already been fulfilled.

Names in Blue need to be expanded (more example pictures)

Rumiko Takahashi (Inuyasha, Ranma, Urusei Yatsura)

Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto)

Obata Takeshi (Hikaru no Go, Death Note)

Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts)

Hiroaki Samura (Blade of the immortal)

Akira Toriyama (Dragonball Z, Dr. Slump)

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, Furi Kuri, Nadia)

Yoshitoshi ABe (Serial Experiment Lain, Haibane Renmei)

Yukiru Sugisaki (DN angel, Lagoon Engine)

Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon) Thanks Fiona Wink

Craig Tompson (Blankets)

Will Eisner (uhm....)

Wish I could help. Sad

Can't you just make more PB accounts?

And I dislike Takahashi Rumiko to a huge extent. So I don't think I could help even if I wanted to. :/

Ummm... Her name is Naoko Takeuchi. Naoko Takeuchi did Sailor Moon...
Tell you what... I'll put up her info ^_^
She obviously needs more more attention if you don't even know her name...
Just wait a while... I'll put it up...^_^

I'm tempted to do Spiegelman, but I'm not really interested in his art, just his books. :/ I'm going to do someone who's not on thaat list, anyway.
