Show me what your working with!

So lately I've been really into checking out artist blogs that exhibit their work spaces. Perhaps it's my love for I Spy books, or HGTV, or even dare I say Cribs. I like getting to know an artist by learning how they work and what they surround themself with.

I would like to make a call for submissions request for all PID members to make a post featuring their work spaces. Especially if you have a flickr account because you can also tag items then explain it's purpose!

So if your interested, maybe we should all submit by the end of next week.

Here are some site examples:

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: George Pfromm II

Known as HonoluluDogFight on skineart.com, George Pfromm II is definitely one of my favorite artists on the moleskin aficionado blog. His retro 1940/50s cartooning style is simple yet dynamic. He uses simple lines and shapes to make quirky little characters, which he features in his moleskin-comics. I especially love his thick brushstroke inking style, a far cry from what we all see in current Marvel/DC comics. Although he's not the first to use this look in his work, I admire it nonetheless. Here are some of my favorites from his moleskin sketchbook:

Artist Spotlight: Ariel Olivetti

As usual, I've decided to spotlight in a genre of art that I understand best: Comic Books. My next artist feature is on Ariel Olivetti. Olivetti is an Argentine artist and penciller best known for his work on American comic book titles such as Daredevil, X-Man, Space Ghost and Punisher War Journal.

Olivetti studied Graphic Design in college and first had his work published in the Argentine magazine Fierro. He created El Cazador de Aventuras, a popular adult comic in 1992.

His first American work was 1995's The Last Avengers Story, which was written by Peter David and published by Marvel Comics. He went on to have a brief stint as regular penciller on Marvel's Daredevil between 1997 and 1998, where he worked with writer Joe Kelly. His next major work was in 1998 when he worked with writer Steven Grant on the Warren Ellis devised "Counter X" revamp of Marvel's X-Man title. In 2005 he again collaborated with Joe Kelly on DC Comics Space Ghost limited series which revealed the character's origins for the first time.

Other titles he has worked on include Mystique and Sabretooth (1996), Alpha Flight (1997) and What If? (1997) at Marvel and JLA: Paradise Lost (1998), Haven: The Broken City (2002), Green Lantern (2003) and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (2006) at DC.

In 2006 he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics and launched the second volume of Punisher War Journal with writer Matt Fraction.

Ariel is scheduled to illustrate a new Cable ongoing series that debuts in March 2008.
