Artist Watch: X3 Productions

"What forces shape you?" That is the question at the heart of Star Wars Identities: The Exibition now showing at the Montreal Science Centre. The exhibit, developed by the Centre and scientific advisors, explores the factors that make us who we are, including genetics, friends, and many other components. The artists at X3 Productions created amazing portraits revealing the identities of your favorite Star Wars characters.

The exhibit is in Montreal until September 16, 2012, and at the TELUS World of Science in Edmonton October 27, 2012 through April 1, 2013.

Artist Watch: Bernadette Pascua

Bernadette Pascua is a NYC based illustrator.  Her work has been featured in many fashion magazines.  Pascua's style is really refreshing in the illustration world (to me at least) with the use of watercolor, ink, and digital touches.  She uses the uncertainty of the watercolor and ink to her advantage creating pieces that are reminiscent of early Andy Warhol's advertisements.

Artist Watch: Garth Britzman

Designer Garth Britzman created a beautiful and ingenious use for plastic soda bottles. At first his car canopy design looked to me like floating flowers. But look carefully and you'll see that each flower is actually a bottle filled with a little colored water. What a creative way to reuse materials!
