A Cubist Take on The Man of Steel

Man-of-Steel---Cubism-Art-by-Luis-Huertas

Superman, as played by Henry Cavill in the recent “Man of Steel” movie, gets the cubism treatment in this piece by Luis Huertas, a graphic design and digital artist based in Lima, Peru.

Huertas painstakingly creates his digital cubist art by first making basic wire drawings of his subjects, which he then fills with colors and later overlays with textures.

Continuous City: A Stunning Art Book and Graphic Novel About NYC

continuous_city_artprint

In his upcoming illustrated book, Continuous City, programmer and artist Brian Foo reimagines the iconic topography of New York City, being “told through a series of conversations and paintings.” One part art book, one part graphic novel, the book explores the story of two young New Yorkers, whose relationship has to contend with an alternate version of the Big Apple, which is continuously transforming itself in a mind-bogglingly vast permutation of shapes and sizes. The book will feature illustrations of hundreds of actual buildings from NYC, which Foo has painstakingly hand-painted himself.

Foo’s Kickstarter page for the book has already raised more than double the amount than that was being asked for the book’s printing. Depending on the amount pledged, the backers of the project will receive posters, art prints and t-shirts, in addition to the book itself. The artist has also conceived an interactive component to his project, through which you can create your own versions of the city.

You can watch this video to know more about the project.
